But the other fatal cause of delay remained, and so daylight came and went, and the stars appeared and disappeared with incredible rapidity to poor Walter and the other gallant workers, before they got within thirty feet of the pit: those who worked in the old shafts, having looser stuff to deal with, gained an advance of about seven feet upon the other working party, and this being reported to Walter he went down the other shaft to inspire the men by words and example.
Single white or blue hyacinths may be used, but better than the stiff spikes of bloom of new bulbs will be the looser clusters of bulbs that have begun to "run out" in the border.
Civilian sailormen who have sailed on vessels commanded by naval officers have been inclined to smile over the minutia of navy discipline and have expressed doubt whether the naval men would find a certain rigidity any more useful in a given situation than the civilian seamen would find a looser ordered system.
My waistbands were much looser, too, and during a short rest that afternoon I put a dart in my riding-breeches, during the absence of Bill after the pack-horse, which had strayed. It was on that occasion that Tish told us as much of her plan as she thought it wise for us to know. "The holdup," she explained, "is to be the day after to-morrow on the Piegan Pass.
It was now almost light, and as I craned my head in all directions I assured myself that they had gone; then I began to try again at the ropes.

An imitator of Fielding and Smollett in general plan, of the latter specially in the dangerous scheme of narrative by letter, Bage added to their methods the purpose of advocating a looser scheme of morals and a more anarchical system of government.
"Oh yes, I know. She says, is your cold better, and there's a warm undervest for you in the left-hand corner of the big drawer." Quite automatically Andreas cleared his throat twice.
