The smiling man at the pony's head looked so thoroughly good-natured that it was hard to push a quarrel, but still Ike's dignity had been injured. "What I beg to remark is," he continued, returning to the attack, "kin he do it agin? Does he have any lingerin' suspicion that he is capable of that act?" Ike reserved his best English for serious occasions.
If you aim to hold her as a witness you can appoint a guard an' I'm the guard. D'you get me? 'Cause if there's any misunderstandin' lingerin' in them scrambled aigs you use fer brains, I'll just start out by tellin' the boys what a hell of a brave arrest you pulled off, an' about the nervy stand you made agin' odds to guard your prisoners when I yipped at you from the brush.
It makes nice boys of us young fellahs, no doubt! And it's pleasant to see fine young girls sittin', like shopkeepers behind their goods, waitin', and waitin', and waitin', 'n' no customers, and the men lingerin' round and lookin' at the goods, like folks that want to be customers, but have n't the money! Do you think the deformed gentleman means to make love to Iris? I said. What!
Next she glances towards Gladys. "Say," she goes on, "is is she the one?" "Yes," says Warrie. "Same to you," says Valentina. "Good-by." They shook hands once more sort of a long, lingerin' shake, with their eyes steady to each other; and then well, then I steers Valentina out past the grinnin' cloak-room boys and stows her in the taxi. She didn't have much to say on the way down.
When I get to thinkin' of that v'yage I simmer inside, like a teakettle on a hot stove. The second day out seasick and homesick and so miserable I wished I could die all at once instead of by lingerin' spasms I dropped a dish on the cabin floor and broke it.

But mebby our ways of lingerin' along would be better in some cases, if new evidence should be found within a year or so, or children should grow up into witnesses. We went into a Japanese house one day. It is made on a bamboo frame, the roof and sides wuz thatched with rye straw, the winders wuz slidin' frames divided into little squares covered with thin white paper.
Steve says he didn't do it, 'n' he wouldn't say you didn't. Looks to me like Steve did the killn', 'n' was lyin' a leetle. He hain't goin' to confess hit to save your neck; 'n' he can't no way, fer he hev lit out o' these mount'ins long ago." If Steve was out of danger, suspicion could not harm him, and Rome said nothing. "Isom's got the lingerin' fever ag'in, 'n' he's outin his head.
But I do not want those despatches to fall into the hands of bad men. You forgive?" winningly. The Parson drew a great breath. It was so sudden, so aweful, so utter. It was Piper who broke the silence from below. "We're settin on a powder-mine, sir. Is that it?" "That's it." "Ah, well," came the philosophic voice. "Short and sweet bless God. Better'n lingerin on it out." Kit panted,
This question was addressed by me to the sly man, and he was embarrassed. "Livin'! 'Taint no livin'. It's lingerin'. Leastways it would be if it wasn't for my gell, Tilley, there. 'Er and 'er 'usban' gives us a 'and; an' if you've got a bit about you you might 'elp us put our copper to rights. Got a thick 'un? I'll pay it back, s'elp me Gord, if the missus can start laundryin' agin'."
