As a rule there was little for the population to do save to eat, drink, laze away the hotter hours of the day, and "corrobboree" at night. Astonishment can scarcely be withheld when an attempt is made to catalogue the available foods of the island, the variety and quantity. No effort was made at cultivation.
Sunshine-and-shadow time for birds to sing by; sunshine-and-shadow time for mortals to laze and dream by. Beautiful, silent, peaceful time; where no clocks strike the passing hours, no whistles scream the round of toil. What time like that of the noiseless, scarce-moving shadow upon the dial for a sleepy old garden and a day-dreamer in the sunshine?
The proprietor of the fancy goods was a Jew, and moreover closed on Saturdays. But for this anachronism of keeping Saturday holy when you had Sunday also to laze on, Daniel felt a hundred higher careers would have been open to him. It made life a conscious voluntary sacrifice to an ideal, and the reward was a touch of consecration once a week.
I laze about during the heat of the day, and have a two hours' spin after tea; I never appear until eleven, and I rest in my own room between lunch and tea, so you won't have too much of my society, but I've a big box of new books from Mudie's for you to read, and there's a pony-cart at your disposal, so I dare say you can amuse yourself.
Summer-time, and the lovely country, and the holiday feeling, and nothing to do but laze about, and amuse ourselves together. It seemed don't laugh! so natural to fall in love." Dr Maclure did not laugh, but a smile flashed over his face, full of immeasurable relief and pleasure. "I do understand," he said heartily.
In the street they had seemed busy enough, hurrying upon various errands; yet these were suddenly all forgotten and they had nothing to do but loll and laze in the sun, their duties unremembered. Five minutes after he left, the garden was again deserted, the seats vacant. But in the crowded street it was the same thing again; he was never alone. He was ever in their thoughts.
It will be tremendous for both of us so young in life, and I never dared hope for such a thing. I had only hoped to get a few private gardens of some of my friends to laze and pose over, but this is startling. My mind is beginning to work on in terms of hedges and fountains already and Dickie may be coming South any minute.
No influential friend would have served me better. She had given me a chance to come out a bit to find out what I could do. No, I don't like work. I had rather laze about and think of all the fine things that can be done. I don't like work no man does but I like what is in the work, the chance to find yourself. Your own reality for yourself, not for others what no other man can ever know.
The genial warmth of it came in through the open window and flooded the room with the very essence of spring. "I'm going to take a day off and enjoy it," smiled Lucas. "You take a day off too, doctor. Make the mater go out in the car. I shall do wonders to-morrow after a good laze to-day." Capper looked him over keenly, pulled his beard, cracked his fingers, and yielded.
But I guess that blood can de-te-ri-orate, as the feller said. Ain't much of it left in the young folks, pretty likely. They just laze around and play all the time. If 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, you can take it from me, Niece Louise, that all play and no work makes Jill a pretty average useless girl. Yes, sir!"
