Cheerful people are workers; and, when they find any tendency to go "mooning" over their tasks, they shake themselves into broad daylight. I have suggested but a few of the things girls can do with greatest profit to themselves and to others. Form reading associations, hygiene societies, relief clubs, emergency clubs, horticultural unions, charity bureaus, science clubs, painting clubs.
She was not unhappy at going off with him. Father and mother walked home alone, communing together in that pride-tinged-with-sadness that must, at times, come to all parents. Mother said: "And to think I was so worried! That hat-making, and then that special spell of idle mooning over something-or-nothing, nearly drove me frantic." Father smiled through the darkness.
That she would have done so had he kept aloof was a matter of course; but equally a matter of course was it that he would not keep aloof. "I shall want to see you for just five minutes to-morrow morning before you take your departure," he said, in a lugubrious voice, during her last evening. He had kept his promise to the very letter, mooning about in his desolate manner very conspicuously.
He had gone off mooning, leaving her to fight her own fight. He had been so confoundedly self-satisfied and content because she was here with him, where heretofore he had always been alone, that he had gone stony blind to her comfort. That was the crude fact. However, accusing himself did not bring him any nearer an explanation of her strange conduct.
"You stand mooning around, you don't hear when you're spoken to, and you don't go in for half the fun you used to." "Are you sick? Or is it a girl?" queried Ben Snow, laughing. "Both the same!" observed Frank Newton, cynically. "Listen to the old dinkbat!" exclaimed Tom Hatfield. "You'd think he knew all about the game! You never got a letter from a girl in your life, Frank!" "I didn't, eh?
And so he bade goodnight, and went mooning out, wondering what he could have done that changed the atmosphere that way. As the door closed behind him those two were standing side by side, looking at that door looking at it in a waiting, second-counting, but deeply grateful kind of way.
"Well," Hawkins said sharply, breaking in upon my reverie. "Don't stand there mooning. Did you ever see anything like it before?" "Once, when I was a child," I confessed, "I fell while climbing a flagpole, and that night I dreamed " "Bah! Come along and watch her work." "No!" I protested. "Oh, no!" "Good Lord, why not?" cried Hawkins. "My wife," I murmured.
Afraid of being caught loitering Archie hurried down to the meadow that stretched away from the house and stumbled into a flock of sheep. He left the sheep, rather envying their placid existence, and was on his way to the laborers' shack when the Governor stepped into his path. "Mooning? Perky and I have been smoking our pipes off yonder in the woods.
Poor Jones toils like a team of horses and hardly gets sufficient to keep him alive. I never saw a man work as he does. For a man who thinks and has ideas to be buried like that in the bush is terrible. He has no one to converse with. He goes mooning about sometimes and muttering to himself enough to frighten one into a fit." "Does he still do any printing?" asked Nellie, archly.
He came mooning round the fence that guarded the Stotts' garden from the little lane it was hardly more than a footpath. He had a great shapeless head that waggled heavily on his shoulders, his eyes were lustreless, and his mouth hung open, frequently his tongue lagged out. He made strange, inhuman noises.
