Thus, they had toiled along the dusty road, taking little heed of any object within sight, save when they stepped aside to allow a wider passage for the mail-coaches which were whirling out of town, until they passed through Highgate archway; when the foremost traveller stopped and called impatiently to his companion, 'Come on, can't yer? What a lazybones yer are, Charlotte.

"Come along, lazybones!" said Nicholas to Pique-Vinaigre, going to meet him; "leave your ration of flesh there; we have a merry-making and feasting. I invite you." "Whereabouts? To the Panier-Fleuri? to the Petit Ramponneau?" "No, in the hall; the table is set on a bench. We have some ham, eggs, and cheese my treat."
So, if thou lack aught, let us know it that we may have the pleasure of fulfilling thy want. Quoth I, 'Indeed I am in sore need, for I am afflicted with a grievous affliction and no one was ever afflicted as I am! Quoth he, 'Perchance thou art Abu Mohammed Lazybones? and I replied, 'Yes.

So she lifted me up and I said, 'Support me, that I may walk. So she supported me and I continued to fare a foot, at times stumbling over my skirts, till we came to the river bank, where we saluted the Shaykh and I said to him, 'O my uncle, art thou Abu al-Muzaffar? 'At thy service, answered he, and I, 'Take these dirhams and with them buy me somewhat from the land of China: haply Allah may vouchsafe me a profit of it. Quoth the Shaykh to his companions, 'Do ye know this youth? They answered, 'Yes, he is known as Abu Mohammed Lazybones, and we never saw him stir from his house till this moment.

"Very hot weather for ideas!" said Eunice, fanning herself with her broad-brimmed hat. "Eunice, you're dreadfully brilliant, aren't you? Anyway, I have an idea, and I just got it from 'Little Women." Edna threw herself on the sand. "Don't let's do it, if we have to do anything," she said, fanning likewise. "Now, you're brilliant. But you're a lazybones, you know. Tell us your idea, Cricket."
As thou, false knave, didst swear the whelps in heaven licked the sores of Lazybones, a beggar of old. 'Nay, nay, said I, 'I said no such thing. But tell me, since they bit thee not, but sportfully licked thee, what harm? 'What harm, noodle; why, the sores came off. 'How could that be? 'How could aught else be? and them just fresh put on.
