And after a moment she sighed, "That is why I'm to be married in August." She stood a moment looking out of the window and cried, "Oh, John, John, isn't there some way out isn't there, John?" Barclay rose and limped to her and answered harshly: "Not so long as Bob is a fool no, Molly. If he wants to go mooning around releasing those farmers from their mortgages there's no way out.
The mellow light lay softly over the orchard tree, on an old branch of which little Solomon sat mooning himself before his door. He could see, not far away, the giant chestnut trees that shaded the banks of a little ravine; and hear the murmuring sound of Shanty Creek, where Nata grew up, and where her grandchildren now played hide-and-seek.
"You are such a beggar for getting off by yourself and mooning." "Well, to tell you the truth, Mr. Narkom, I came within an ace of doing the very thing you speak of," replied Cleek. "It's full moon, for one thing, and it's primrose time for another. Happily for your desire to catch me, however, I er got interested in the evening paper and that delayed me."
They'll think I'm nuts, mooning around on the street all night." He came to a long stretch of wooden picket fence, beyond it a silver plaque of moon-splashed grass, the house all hollow-eyed and gaunt, like a thing watching.

His father, Cornelius Mead, had died of camp fever in the war; his mother and he had come on the town for support, and had been boarded with her brother, Sam Hadley, not far from Bull Meadow Hill.

'It isn't a question of what we want to do, it is a question of what we've got to do, if we call ourselves men, he said.
As soon as she understood affairs, Sue took a stand which could not be shaken, even if the easy-going mooning colonel had exerted himself to that extent. She insisted upon using one-half the yearly income for household expenses; the other the colonel could fritter away as he chose upon his racing-stable and his secondary hobby an utterly absurd stamp collection.
I only saved it by the happy chance of being near a floe with an ice-foot, which, projecting under the water, gave me foot-hold; and I lay on the floe in a mooning state the whole night under the storm, for I was half drowned. And at once, on recovering myself, I abandoned all thought of whalers and of Europe for that year.
"Where are you mooning in the dark?" he demanded, stumbling over the threshold. "Oh, there you are. Dame! you'd come down-stairs mighty quick if you knew what was there for you?" "What?" I cried, divided between the wild hope that it was Monsieur and the wilder one that it was M. Étienne. "Don't you wish I'd tell you? Well, you're a good boy, and I will.
