Archie started to run; and, as he did so, one of the loafers made the mistake of gripping him by the collar of his coat. "I got him!" observed the loafer.-There is a time for all things. This was essentially not the time for anyone of the male sex to grip the collar of Archie's coat.
"With your money you don't want to waste time bothering about a business like that. Sell it and clear out. I should, if I were in your place." "No, you wouldn't; and I'm not going to, anyway. If they think they can scare me into running away they're mistaken. A handful of loafers!"
His whole air seemed to say: 'This is the Queen, and I, the King, expect that proper homage be paid her. The loafers at the bar all came out to see the start. The family on the top of the bullock-dray peered forth from under the tilt.
She felt dishonored by the glances which her feet drew after her, and she always walked swiftly to and from the store or the post-office. Few of these loafers had the courage to stand on their feet and court her favor, but there was one who speedily became her chief persecutor. He was tall, lean, angular, and freckled, but his horsemanship was marvellous and his skill with the rope magical.
The sun was dazzling in its brightness, and the gay wraps and scarfs lighted up the street with flecks of color. Loafers on the sidewalks fired a fusillade of words at the teams as they passed: "Go it, Bones!" "'Let 'er go, Gallagher!" "Ain't she a daisy!" But what cared the drivers?

Here is the letter," he added, drawing an envelope from his pocket and handing it to me. "Take it to-night, for I never know if I may live to see another day." I took it, and noting its big black seal, placed it carefully in my inner pocket. Two loafers were standing in the shadow in front of us, and their presence reminded me that that end of the Lung Arno is not very safe at night.
There were always loafers about the streets; and among them, not infrequently, the McCall boys or Lamborn. Reverdy had told me that Lamborn had been talking in the barber shop, saying that I was living in a state of adultery with my nigger sister. At the same time I knew, and Reverdy knew, that Lamborn was trying to get Zoe to meet him.
For, as we drew to the shore, and the throng of porters and waterside loafers, on what should my gaze alight but the beaming countenance of Mr. Rowley! I declare it communicated a roseate flush to the pallid cliffs of Albion. I could have fallen on his neck. On his side the honest lad kept touching his hat and grinning in a speechless ecstasy.
America has plenty of poor loafers, but few wealthy rentiers who spend their days in bed or in idleness, and are therefore insatiable in their appetite for entertainment in the evening. The typical American works hard all day long, whether he is rich or poor, and in the evening his brain is too tired to follow for four hours the complicated orchestral score of a music-drama.
