Better lie down on my parlor sofy a while and git rested up nice, hadn't ye? many's the day I've lazied there, Lord knows, tryin' f'r to coddle my strength back."

I've lolled and lazied and languished. And I've never been so tired in my life not even when we were taking January inventory. Another month of this, and I'd be an old, old woman.

I went about the whole time in a state of tremulous, delicious dread. What would happen?
"I never lazied around so or frittered up so much time in my life; and I'm enjoying every second of my freedom, too. I tell you, it's fine. But say, this meeting won't take over an hour.
