I'm going to make us war bread to help the soldiers." "You're a little soldier yourself," he said. "That's what I would be if I was a man, a soldier all in brass buttons." "There's a bunch of the fellows going," said Mr. Batch, standing at the window, looking out over roofs, dilly-dallying up and down on his heels and breaking into a low, contemplative whistle.
Then the Old Man spoke to the men. "Now, men!" he began. "This is no time for dilly-dallying. The Second Mate and I will go aloft, and I want about half a dozen of you to come along with us, and carry lights. Plummer and Jessop here, have volunteered. I want four or five more of you. Step out now, some of you!" There was no hesitation whatever, now; and the first man to come forward was Quoin.
Maitland's disappointment about him went to my heart. Besides, I am very fond of Blair; there is a great deal of good in him. You are prejudiced." "No I'm not. I admit that as his mother says, 'he's no fool'; but that only makes his dilly-dallying so much the worse.
What's the use of any more delay? I've wasted nearly three hours here now, dilly-dallying along. But then, a woman never does know her own mind. "Put a thing before her all as plain as the multiplication table and she must use up just so much good time telling a man that he's crazy and shedding tears because he won't admit that two times two are thirty-seven."
These needs should be met without further dilly-dallying or delay. The plan which promises the best and quickest results is that of a permanent commission authorized to coordinate the work of all the Government departments relating to waterways, and to frame and supervise the execution of a comprehensive plan.
Now, why this dilly-dallying with the large land-owner, or any one else, that has something that he should surrender for the general good?
And, to add to her gloom, a fierce-looking man, with a long horse-whip in his hand, came and peeped in at the barn door, and screamed to Dotty in a hoarse voice that "Ruth Dillon wanted her right off, and none of her dilly-dallying." And then, on going into the house, what should she learn but that this man had come to take Ruth home, because her mother was sick.
