"It's the laziest sound on earth," said Wyverton. Molly turned off the road to a stile. "You ought to take a holiday," she said, as she mounted it. He vaulted the railing beside it and gave her his hand. "I'm not altogether a drone, Miss Neville," he said. Molly seated herself on the top bar and surveyed him. "Of course not," she said. "You are here on business, aren't you?"
The carrier's horse was the laziest horse in the world, I should hope, and shuffled along, with his head down, as if he liked to keep people waiting to whom the packages were directed. I fancied, indeed, that he sometimes chuckled audibly over this reflection, but the carrier said he was only troubled with a cough.
Constitutionally the laziest young devil in America, he had hit on a walk in life which enabled him to go the limit in that direction. He was a poet. At least, he wrote poems when he did anything; but most of his time, as far as I could make out, he spent in a sort of trance.
Abner left him a little money, and he spent it travelin' 'for his health. I don't know where he traveled to, but, wherever 'twas, the health must have been there. He was the healthiest critter ever I see and the laziest. "Well, his travels bein' over, down he comes to make his sister-in-law a little visit. And he stays on and stays on.
To ask questions can become the laziest and wobbliest occupation of a mind, but when you must yourself answer the problem that you have posed, you will meditate your question with care and frame it with precision. Fionn's mind learned to jump in a bumpier field than that in which he had chased rabbits.
I have noted that of my pupils, those who seemed the laziest and the least enamoured of books are now rising to eminence at the bar, in business, and in public life; the really promising boys who took all the prizes are now able with difficulty to earn the wages of a clerk in a summer hotel or a deck hand on a canal boat.
A post office, of course, Bourron possesses, but let no one imagine that a post office in out of the way country places implies a supply of postage stamps. English people are the greatest scribblers by post in the world, whilst our wiser French neighbours appear to be the laziest. An amusing dilemma had occurred here just before my arrival.
Father O'Mahony is a Corker, and should know that he is talking nonsense. Let me explain. In Cork I met a gentleman for twenty-five years engaged in supplying fishermen with all their needs. He said, "The Irish fishermen are the laziest, most provoking beggars under the sun." He showed me two sizes of net-mesh and said, "This is the size of a shilling, this is the size of a halfpenny.
Constance!" again dropping his tone of mockery, "you know that you may trust me better than that." "But, Hamish, how do you spend your time, that you cannot complete your books in the day?" "Oh," drawled Hamish, "ours is the laziest office! gossiping and scandal going on in it from morning till night. In the fatigue induced by that, I am not sure that I don't take a nap, sometimes."
He is the slackest oarsman, the laziest punkawala and the worst whip east of Suez. His idea of driving is to sit with knees drawn up toward his chin while he lugs at the reins as if they were a punkah-cord, urging his staunch little screw along with ineffectual flaps of his whip and noises like the paroxysms of sea sickness.
