In the way he found a house hidden in the wood and among rocks, where an aged and sick woman was being tended by her elderly daughter. Last lingerers in that deserted piece of coast, they seemed indifferent to the events which had thus left them solitary, and, as the daughter said, did not know where Mataafa was, nor where Tamasese.
But she shall not linger here, for all lingerers in Delicio's Court are spied upon not for their soul's good. She shall go hence, and " "Ay, princely lady, she shall go hence," interposed Lempriere, who had panted to speak, and could bear silence no longer.
Three or four lingerers had pushed their way as far as the gate, only to see the door of the house shut in their faces. "Too late!" growled old man Luke from between the locks of his long beard. "Too late!" shrieked the woman who had come so near being late herself. "Too late!" smoothly acquiesced the lawyer, locking and bolting the door with a deft and assured hand.
But no one suspected that the wedding was near at hand; and there were very few lingerers after the service was over, when Kelly came in at the side-door with her father, was joined by Mr. Brooke, and actually married then and there.
But the van had only reached Grand Island and the Pawnee villages, when they were overtaken by more ill news from Nauvoo. Before the summer closed, their enemies set upon the last remnant of those who were left behind in Illinois. They were a few lingerers, who could not be persuaded but there might yet be time for them to gather up their worldly goods before removing.

The Prussians followed hard on the miserable fugitives, and in every hamlet and village, for many miles beyond La Belle Alliance, cut down the lingerers without mercy.
The night was drawing to a close. The long supper room was almost deserted. Amongst the lingerers were a few officers in the uniform of the Guard, who stood talking together in one corner. 'The fellow has given you no chance, Adolf was saying gloomily. 'Have him in here! Kick him in here, if necessary! said Colendorp. 'I don't think you will find him reluctant, drawled Unziar.
For instance, one day, after she had passed a number of men, several of whom had paid her the not unusual compliment of wishing she was their sweetheart, one of the lingerers added, 'Your bonny face, my lass, makes the day look brighter. And another day, as she was unconsciously smiling at some passing thought, she was addressed by a poorly-dressed, middle-aged workman, with 'You may well smile, my lass; many a one would smile to have such a bonny face. This man looked so careworn that Margaret could not help giving him an answering smile, glad to think that her looks, such as they were, should have had the power to call up a pleasant thought.
At last the rapid ringing of a bell warned all lingerers that the time for the final parting had come.
