"Things is confusin' to judge by the yarns folks tell," added Ralph, with a shake of his shaggy head. "Them fellers as comes up to your shack, Victor, mostly talks o' drink, an' shootin', an' an' women," Nick went on. "Guess the hills'll do us. Maybe when we've done wi' graft an' feel that it 'ud be good to laze, likely we'll go down an' buy a homestead on the prairie. Maybe, I sez."
"I shouldn't be a bit surprised if it rained before night," she said. "You'd better decide to laze around in Paradise with me." But Helen only laughed at Roberta's caution and went on, whereat Roberta Lewis was very nearly the only Harding girl who was not drenched to the skin before Mountain Day was over.
"Why, you've been seep all de night. You call me laze lil nigger if I say dat. Get up!" "But is it nearly morning, Pomp?" I said, with my eyes closely shut. "Ah, you do dat 'gain! You roll ober de oder side for? You tink um dis week when it morrow morning." "But it isn't really morning." "Yes; bror daylight. Able see dreckly."
The out-of-door air had given even Lil an enormous appetite. "If my mother had any idea that I'd eat so much at this time in the morning she'd never have let me come camping," she said. "Why! do you know I only drink a cup of coffee and pick the inside out of a roll, at breakfast, at home." There was a general inclination to "laze" about the camp and read, or take naps after that heavy breakfast.
By the well, under some shade trees in the yard, the two friends sat and smoked, watching the men laze away to the stables. Thereafter they spoke quietly of the captive in the Hacienda Montezuma. "It's not to be thought of," said Bruce, "that a scared little kid like her is to be held that way and we sit like two bumps on a log. Looks like her troubles were up to you and me, Jim."
Quite with a feeling of welcome she accepted the windy downpour which came with the morning to keep her indoors, as if it were a friendly and opportune jailer. Reaction from the mental strain and the physical shock had set in. She wanted only, as she expressed it to her hostess, to "laze" for a while. "Then this is the ideal spot for you," Miss Van Arsdale answered her.
Mollie smiled her sunny, candid smile, and lay back in her deck-chair, her hands clasped easily behind her head. It was delightful to laze in the sunshine, to feel at peace with all the world. The present was so all-absorbing that she had no time to worry her head about the future; but Ruth sat by her side, with unseeing eyes bent upon her book, while the swift thoughts surged through her brain.
This is simply done by replacing the independent private workshop by the compulsory national workshop in this way replacing piece-work by work by the day, and the attentive, energetic workman who minds his business and expects to earn money in return by inattentive apathic workmen pressed into a poorly paid service but paid even when they botch the job or laze about.
Mazzini answered that it couldn't be done and that melons were like men, that there was no sure way of picking them out for their kindness of heart. Then he took time over the melons to tell me how his mother in Italy, who was evidently something of a match-maker, had gotten fooled on a young man who was both "laze" and "steenge" in his youth but who made a very good husband.
I have tried to navigate one, and spent the whole time in the water simply could not keep inside the tub. This I much regretted, for it must be thoroughly enjoyable to laze about under the trees that overhang the river from one or other of the islands and listen to the band.
