Mary had the grounds all to herself, except at those stated times when the Fräulein, who was growing lazier and larger day by day in her leisurely and placid existence, took her morning and afternoon constitutional on the terrace in front of the drawing-room, or solemnly perambulated the shrubberies.
There may, however, have been some who remained with the residuary Houses on lazier or more subtle principles. The City-tumults, intended as such a brave stroke for Presbytery, had been, in fact, a suicidal blunder.
This was Cooper's first experience of Riverina, and he swore in no apprentice style that it would be his last. A correlative proof of the honest fellow's Eastern extraction lay in the fact that he was three inches taller, three stone heavier, and thirty degrees lazier, than Thompson. I had known Dixon for many years.
"Ah! then you didn't go with Bill to help clear the road?" said the expressman surprisedly. The man slowly drew up his tall, shambling figure before the fire, and then facing them, with his hands behind him, as slowly lowered himself again as if to bring his speech to the level of his hearers and give a lazier and more deliberate effect to his long-drawn utterance.

Then you will rise out of the dirt where you wallow with your wives and your children. Don't blame your masters; they don't enslave you. They don't keep you in slavery. Your chains are of your own forging and only you can strike them off!" Certainly no tenement house woman could be lazier, emptier of head, more inane of life than her sister Martha.
When he heerd tell how 't was, he said he agreed with the Edgewood folks that Jabe was lazier 'n Aaron.
Occasionally, the flash of an eye or the curl of a lip got the better of them, though they strove to wholly ignore each other during these mute periods. And a great wonder sprang up in the breast of each, as to how God had ever come to create the other. With little to do, time became an intolerable burden to them. This naturally made them still lazier.
