I now begged them to send six men to the assistance of the lagging canoe; this they promised to do, and, after waiting for some time, we started at a rattling pace to pull across the wide bay from point to point. When in the centre of the bay we were about four miles from land. At this time a swell set in from the southwest.
When he left her that morning he sought out Milo and confessed his sins. Shriven he arose, to do what remained in the west before he could be crowned in Rouen, and crowned in Westminster. I wish to be done with Bertran de Born, that lagging fox; but the dogs of my art must make a backward cast if they are to kill him in the open.
But he was walking slowly now in painful silence, his heavy, lagging feet striking against the loose stones.
The tired eyes brightened and lagging steps quickened involuntarily as she turned the corner and saw the welcoming light streaming from the kitchen window. It was very late on the eve of Christmas day and the street was deserted save for the solitary figure hastening towards that beacon light of home.
The slap, slap of the brushes outside had ceased and the men were heard talking. Jane rushed out brandishing her paint brush. "Get to work, you lazy bones!" she shouted. "Am I paying you for holding conversations about red paint! On with your work!" Jane presented such a ferocious appearance that the painters resumed their work hurriedly. There was no more lagging on their part.
Lagging men were still stealing in as we took up our places in columns of fours. A clock struck out the hour of twelve, and the bird in the hedgerow was still singing as we marched out to the roadway, and followed our merry pipers home to town. Divisional exercise is a great game of make-believe.
Roger and Astro were carrying tools over their shoulders and were lagging behind the main body of workers moving toward a huge tunnel opening. Tom saw his chance and moved up quickly beside them. "Keep walking and don't show surprise!" he whispered sharply. But it was too much to ask.
In the fading light the straggling wood wore a dreary, forbidding look. The spruces were gnarled and twisted by the wind, a number of them were dead, and many leaned unsymmetrically athwart each other. Blake and Harding found no beauty in the scene as they wearily led two packhorses through the thin, scattered trees, with Benson lagging a short distance behind.
Difficulties always spurred Rebecca on, but they daunted poor Emma Jane, who had no little thrills of excitement and wonder and fear and longing to sustain her lagging soul. That her interview was to be entered as "minutes" by a secretary seemed to her the last straw.
At the love-feasts these choruses sat side by side at the table, so as to be ready to sing together with perfect precision whenever a song should be announced. At the singing school Brother Friedsam could not abide the least defect; he rated roundly the brother or sister who made any mistake; he scourged their lagging aspirations toward perfection.
