Mark was feeling so much at ease with himself and Caffyn that even this proposition was not very terrible to him just then. 'All right, he said lazily; 'what do you want to know first? 'That's right. Well, first, I must tell you I've read the book. I'd like to say how much I was struck by it if I might. 'I'm very glad you liked it, said Mark.
There was a column of dense smoke hovering in the air, lazily swirling this way and that. The airship was rapidly approaching it. "Why that " began Tom, but before he could complete the sentence the smoke was blown violently upward. It became streaked with fire, and, a moment later, there was the echo of a tremendous explosion. "The volcano!" cried Tom. "The Arequipa volcano!
To this general appeal, every man replied by putting his weight on his oar, and exerting his utmost strength. The boat flew through the water with incredible swiftness, scarcely rising to the waves. A large bull whale lay about a quarter of a mile ahead of us, lazily rolling in the trough of the sea.
"Well, then, why do you come here?" demanded Langham. "Same old business, Marsh." He lounged across the room and dropped, yawning, into a chair near the window.

Florinda followed, lazily stretching; yawning a little; arranging her hair at the looking-glass while Jacob read his mother's letter.
Harriet lazily expressed herself as indifferent to what the menu should be, provided it was fit to eat. "Cut out this scrapping and get down to business, you two," finally ordered Leslie in her roughest tones. Followed an insulting rebuke from her that brought a flush to both the wranglers' cheeks. When thoroughly exasperated Leslie spared no one's feelings.
There was not the slightest breath of air stirring, and the sea lay lazily asleep, only throbbing now and then with a faint spasmodic motion, which barely stirred the shingle on the shore, much less plashed on the beach; while a thick, heavy white mist was steadily creeping up from the sea, shutting out, first the island, and then the roadstead at Spithead from view, and overlapping the whole landscape in thick woolly folds, moist yet warm.
They were lazily discussing summer opera, it being, their habit perhaps their pride also to appear supernaturally indifferent whenever they stood with large interests imperilled. And they stood to win more on this stake than most people knew.
