In there it was always warm, and Pelle was not afraid of going about in the thickest darkness. In the servants' room they sat moping through the long evenings without anything to occupy themselves with.
All the court officials crowded her apartments in the palace. Chesterfield, young Churchill, Lord Hervey, Lord Scarborough, all hurried to the tea-table of the well-bred bedchamber-woman, to escape the dreary duties and monotonous moping of attendance on the throne.
You have not been moping, I hope." "Moping! Not a bit of it," replied Kavanagh. "I am not going to cry `I take a licking! because Fortune has caught me a couple of facers without a return. I have been to the theatre, and enjoyed myself vastly, I assure you." "To the theatre! You; in that dress!" exclaimed Royce. "Oh, I went to the gallery. I have accepted the situation."
The moping idiot, cowering down with long dishevelled hair; the gibbering maniac, with his hideous laugh and pointed finger; the vacant eye, the fierce wild face, the gloomy picking of the hands and lips, and munching of the nails: there they were all, without disguise, in naked ugliness and horror.
"No; I said as much as that to her, and she replied that it would always be the same, and I gathered from her manner, although she did not exactly say so, that there was someone else in the case, and yet I have never met anyone often there." "Perhaps you are mistaken," Mark said. "Well, whether or not, there is clearly no hope for me. I am very sorry, but it is no use moping over it.

Why ain't you riding in the park with Helen, instead of moping in this dark room? You'll be as blind as the fish in the cave of Kentucky if you don't get out of this directly! We must see what we can do to get you up!"
Avarice, love, ambition, pride, jealousy, having overgrown the force of reason, are here, as its ideal skeletons, wild and gigantic fretting, gambolling, moping, grinning, raving, and vaporing each wrapped in its own Vision, and indifferent to all the influence of the collateral faculties.
Had said my aunt: "There she goes, moping again. Drat me if ever I saw such a thing to mope as a woman." My aunt was entitled to preach on the subject. She herself grumbled all day about all things, but she did it cheerfully. My mother was standing with her hands clasped behind her a favourite attitude of hers gazing through the high French window into the garden beyond.
Not that he sat moping all the time, for some deed of arms was ever on hand to afford distraction; but in the main his thoughts all turned on schemes for freeing England from the French tyrant. But not till Gyda, Harold's widowed mother, came to Baldwin for sanctuary did he take any overt action.
Tom talked a great deal, he was fond of music and games, and was never so pleased as when engaging in some wild frolic with his sisters and any chance youngster that happened to stray in. His sister, Lady Trevelyan, has recorded that during those days of gloom which followed her father's failure, matters were made worse by the stricken man moping at home and tightening the domestic discipline.
