"I laid Hill half-a-crown that you would not see me when you were mooning over your verses!" "Well, I have seen you. And now " "Come, you would not thrash a fellow when you have just lost him half-a-crown! Single misfortunes never come alone, they say; so there's my money and my credit gone, to say nothing of Ballhatchet's ginger-beer!"
She has had far too much to do with it already. That mooning, foolish boy must have led her into this romantic folly through some girlish enthusiasm about Joe Daviess, the popular hero of romance. It is plainly the boy's fault that she was induced to do so dangerous and unheard-of a thing. She could never have thought of it herself. I shall see that he keeps his place hereafter.
"Got to thinking in the desert, and sort of willing things to come to pass, and mooning along, you and the sky and the vultures and the hot hills and the snakes and the flowers eh?" "There weren't any flowers till I got to the grass-country." "Oh, cuss me, if you ain't simple for your kind! I know all about that.
The clouds looked black for a while, didn't they?" Anne pressed Grace's hand by way of answer. The sophomore year had been crowded with many trials, some of them positive school tragedies, in which Anne and Grace had been the principal actors. "What are you two mooning over?" asked a gay voice, and the two girls turned with a start to find Julia Crosby grinning cheerfully at them.
They had stood guard year after year and silently watched the comings and goings of the hundreds of girls who proudly acknowledged Overton as their Alma Mater. "What's the use of gazing and mooning?" asked Elfreda, with sudden brusqueness. "Please open that door, Mr. Symes. I shall certainly weep and wail disconsolately out of pure sentiment if you don't distract my attention with something else.
I was pretty much mooning mad for a while, I suppose: sometimes walking about the cabin and thrusting with my feet contemptuously at the gold ingots strewn over the floor of it, and sometimes standing still in a sort of rapt wonder over my heap of jewels and anything like sensible thinking was quite beyond the power of my unbalanced mind.
"Old wives' folly," he cried, with an oath. "Let Cosh go his ways, and swear to amend them. The Brethren of the Coast cannot be too nice in these little matters. We are not pursy justices or mooning girls." But he had no support. The verdict was for the dice, and a seaman brought Ringan a little ivory box, which he held out to the prisoner.
What is the latest word from the seat of war?" "It is finished," said Conrad Lagrange, returning Myra's gentle greeting, and accepting the chair that Sibyl offered. "The picture?" said the girl eagerly, a quick color flushing her cheeks. "Is the picture finished?" "Finished," returned the novelist. "I just left him mooning over it like a mother over a brand-new baby."
And Seton, meeting Merefleet's eyes, shrugged his shoulders as if disclaiming all further responsibility. Mab leant forward. "You'd better come, Mr. Merefleet," she said in a motherly tone. "It'll be a degree more lively than mooning around by yourself." And Merefleet yielded, touched by something indescribable in the beautiful, glowing eyes that were lifted to his.
I would be almost ashamed to tell how I was in the habit of "mooning away my time," thinking of Min when, the first novelty of the office having worn off, I found my duties so wearisome and easily got through, that I had nothing to keep me from thinking! I used to idle sadly.
