Marson?" observed Mr. Judson genially, a smooth-faced, lazy-looking young man. "Freddie repays inspection." "Mr. Marson, permit me to introduce you to Mr. Ferris, Lord Stockheath's gentleman." Mr. Ferris, a dark, cynical man, with a high forehead, shook Ashe by the hand. "Happy to meet you, Mr. Marson." "Miss Willoughby, this is Mr. Marson, who will take you in to dinner.
The man who had put out the fire, who had led the reconnoitring party, who had made all the active preparations for departure, who seemed, in short, to be an executive committee of one, a long, lazy-looking mountaineer, with a decision of action in startling contrast to his whole aspect, now took this matter in hand. "Nothin' easier," he said tersely. "Fill him up.
"Do you know, your people were awfully good to me," this long, lank, lazy-looking man went on but now he seemed more interested than when talking about Lady Adela's novel. "I never spent a more delightful evening never. I wonder they did not turn me out, though; for I stayed and stayed, and never noticed how late it was getting.
This appeal to the pocket touched Stratton's feelings; so, submitting to the extortion, he replied to our interpreter, "Well, tell the old robber to dump his dung-cart as soon as possible, or we shall lose half an hour in starting." The cart was "dumped" and a large, lazy-looking Flemish horse was attached to it with a rope harness.
Lund and Miss Carpenter were looking as though they felt highly indignant because Matilda she chose to stick by her good-for-nothing brother, even when they told her they could hardly be expected to go to the trouble to furnish sewing just to help feed such a lazy-looking man, and keep him in smoking tobacco.
There was nothing at all pretentious about the place; it was a rambling, lazy-looking house built largely of native stone, stretching its length comfortably in the shade of the big maples. Perrin, Vic's man-of-all-work, came hurrying out of the house to greet me as I locked my wheels on the drive before the door. "I'm glad you're here, sir!" he exclaimed breathlessly.
"I GUESS we will have to put out our Johnny," said Mrs. Cole, with a sigh, as she drew closer to the fire, one cold day in autumn. This remark was addressed to her husband, a sleepy, lazy-looking man, who was stretched on a bench, with his eyes half closed.
Passing under the guns of Fort Alcatraz, past Angel Island why so called I know not, as in early days it was inhabited not by angels but goats only all of us felt the exhilaration of the California sunshine, and the bracing November air, as we stood upon the guards, watching the play of the lazy-looking porpoises, that seemed to roll along, keeping up with the swift motion of the boat in such a leisurely way.
When the carriage drew up in the grass-grown court yard before the hall-door, two lazy-looking men, whose appearance well accorded with that of the place which they tenanted, alarmed by the obstreperous barking of a great chained dog, ran out from some half-ruinous out-houses, and took charge of the horses; the hall-door stood open, and I entered a gloomy and imperfectly lighted apartment, and found no one within.
The only other visible member of the crew was a long, lazy-looking Yankee, whom the Skipper called Rento, and the others plain "Rent," his full name of Laurentus Woodcock being more than they could away with. An awning was spread over the after-deck, and under this was arranged with care the main collection of corals and shells, the commoner sorts, such as found a ready sale at low prices.
