While in the street between streamed the ever-moving crowd of East London folk, jostling, chattering, loafing, doing their business or their pleasure, and made perpetually interesting, partly by their frank preoccupation with the simplest realities of life: with eating, drinking, earning, marrying, child-rearing; still more, perhaps, by the constant presence among them of that "leisured class" which, alike at the bottom and the top of things, has time to be gay, curious, and witty.
A wife whose heart laughed and, alas, his Käte was not one of those. The man lay down again with a sigh of disappointment and shivered as he drew up the covering.

The morning was dawning as a cab drove slowly down the street.
She started toward the corral gates, intending to call to him to return, but thought better of the impulse and hailed him tauntingly instead: "Please tell him to accept my thanks," she said, and Duncan turned his head, bowed mockingly, and continued on his way.

It is a holiday harbor, all these seas are holiday seas the yachts, the sail vessels, the puffing steamers, moving swiftly from one headland to another, or loafing about the blue, smiling sea, are all on pleasure bent. The vagrant vessels that are idly watched from the rocks at the Pier may be coasters and freight schooners engaged seriously in trade, but they do not seem so.
"There is no work," said he: "the soldiers have taken it all away. So now I am loafing about; as true as I believe in God, I have had nothing to eat for two days."
