I was still Clemens's guest at Hartford when Arnold came there to lecture, and one night we went to meet him at a reception. While his hand laxly held mine in greeting, I saw his eyes fixed intensely on the other side of the room. "Who-who in the world is that?" I looked and said, "Oh, that is Mark Twain."
Mrs Mellish, in her nightgown, came running into the room. "Oh, Auntie! Are you ill? Are you on fire?" she cried. The stout lady, strengthless and breathless, was lying in a chair, the jewel-case clasped laxly with one arm. "A robber has been here," she gasped. "A robber, with black on his face, and a chloroformed handkerchief." "Oh, Auntie! Auntie! Never!" "Where is your husband?
He paused, and then quoted, very slowly, each word seeming to stand for many things: And fear not lest Existence closing your Account, and mine, shall know the like no more; The Eternal Saki from that Bowl has pour'd Millions of Bubbles like us, and will pour. "And will pour," he repeated the three words. And then his head drooped, his hands fell laxly at his sides.

The lonely man in the brown smoke-fog, with the roar of the river in his ears, as unregarded as the roar of traffic in a city, recalled it all, and laughed as he threw his hands abroad, and fell into a frowning thoughtfulness as he allowed them to drop laxly between his knees.
She fell back into the arm-chair with closed eyes, and suffered her hands to fall laxly on either side of her knees. 'You will find me a changed girl, Paul. I am going to have done with my moods, and I am going to follow I am going to follow what is it I am going to follow? M. Laurent knows. Oh yes, it is the goddess of hygiene!
With a deafening roar she swept in, the engineer jogging laxly on his cushions. Kendrick stood up and hollered at him. The salutation was acknowledged with a friendly wave of the hand. The long string of brown and yellow cars followed rattle-de-bang over the switch and rocked away eastward.
Many goods formerly allowed to enter the colonies directly were placed on the list of enumerated articles which must pass through England before being shipped to the colonies. The act, although slightly reducing the duty on French West Indian foreign molasses, contained strict provisions for its collection omitted from the laxly enforced Molasses Act of 1733.
Were Cecily Doran my daughter, I would resist her marrying you to the utmost of my power not simply because you have lived laxly, but because of my conviction that the part of your life is to be a pattern of the whole.

The Oxford of that day was not a place of much discipline and the official order of study was very laxly maintained. It seems not to have meant much to Johnson, and he is described as having spent a good deal of his time "lounging at the College gates with a circle of young students round him, whom he was entertaining with wit and keeping from their studies."
