She herself had placed them here, that eventful afternoon five days ago, and not thought of them again till this moment.... Was that, which seemed like an echo from some previous life, only five days ago? She stood looking down at the mass of sere bloom, touched the withered tops lingeringly with her finger-tips. It was her tribute to the dead, no more.
Pausing before Eve, he gazed at her lingeringly, then sprang half-way up the adjacent door-steps, and proffered her his fragrant freight. Eve deliberated for a moment, but the fruit was tempting, the act would be kind.
And as a bouquet Helen wore, dislodged somehow or other, fell to the ground, both stooped to pick it up, and their hands met. Percival had got the nosegay, and seemed willing to detain it; for he bent his face lingeringly over the flowers. At length he turned his bright, ingenuous eyes to Helen, and singling one rose from the rest, said beseechingly: "May I keep this?

But while his eyes were still lingeringly fixed on Cecilia, Lady Glenalvon advanced, naturally in right of rank and the claim of old acquaintance, the first of the three to greet him. "Alas, my dear Sir Peter! time does not stand still for any of us; but what matter, if it leaves pleasant footprints?
I kiss each bead, and strive at last to learn To kiss the cross ... to kiss the cross." The accompaniment, which opens with a single chord, closes with a single note. Jane struck it softly, lingeringly; then rose, turned from the piano, and was leaving the platform, when a sudden burst of wild applause broke from the audience.
John Walden stood for a quiet three minutes, studying the picture intently and also the superscription: "Mary Elia Adelgisa de Vaignecourt, Born May 1st, 1651: Wedded her cousin, Geoffrey de Vaignecourt, June 5th, 1671: Died May 30th, 1681." "Not a very long life!" he mused: "All the Vaignecourts, or Vancourts, have died somewhat early." He let his eyes rest again on the portrait lingeringly.
Let there be music too the music of her voice, which murmurs in your ear such entrancing falsehoods! "She will be true," she says. You must believe her, Guido, as I did and, believing her thus, part from her as lingeringly and tenderly as you will part from her FOREVER!

One Sunday morning, long ago, a girl stood in her bed-room, lingeringly occupied with the last touches of her toilet. A string of beads, made of pure gold and as large as peas, lay before her. They had been her mother's, given to her when the distracted state of American currency made a wedding-present of the precious metal as welcome as it was valuable.
"Yes, that's because it sees how industrious we all are," said Lasse Frederik mischievously. "Will you be quiet!" said Pelle, hitting out at him. Ellen sat knitting some tiny socks. Her glance moved lingeringly from one to another of them, and she smiled indulgently at their chatter. They were just a lot of children! "Mother, may I have those for my doll?" asked Anna, taking up the finished sock.
