For it wasn't suitable Miss Damaris should be moping alone upstairs at odd times like this. It all came of yesterday's upset. Her righteous anger blazed against the clerical culprit. In that connection there was other matter of which she craved to deliver herself refreshing items of local gossip, sweet as honey to the mouth did she but dare retail them. She balanced the question this way and that.
"These young people with their careers are too stimulating for spinster cousins who have never had anything more exciting than night-work on a city paper. Well, I dare say I have only my come-uppings. You see, I was afraid Elsie wouldn't be lively enough! I had visions of an extremely proper, blasé young person moping about, and rather dreaded her. Getting Elsie was like finding a changeling."
For here, one could only think of the moping and mumming herd of monks, who were certainly not worth remembering, while the fame of Paolo Sarpi, and the good which he did, refused to be localized. That good is an inheritance which has enriched the world; but the share of Venice has been comparatively small in it, and that of this old convent ground still less.
It was the "wilderness" where John preached, with camel's hair about his loins raiment enough but he never could have got his locusts and wild honey here. We were moping along down through this dreadful place, every man in the rear. Our guards two gorgeous young Arab sheiks, with cargoes of swords, guns, pistols and daggers on board were loafing ahead. "Bedouins!"
The moping, lazy, diseased creature that you find sleeping in the sun around the reservations is a product of our civilization. Nice commentary on civilization, isn't it?" "For heaven's sake, Linda," said Donald, "don't start any big brainstorming trains of thought today! Grant me repose. I have overworked my brain for a few months past until I know only one thing for certain."
Next autumn, and every year, and forever, as long as the sun warmed the earth! It was only man who would not always return to the haunts he loved. When Bent Wade desired opportunities they seemed to gravitate to him. Upon riding into the yard of White Slides Ranch he espied Jack Belllounds sitting in idle, moping posture on the porch. Something in his dejected appearance roused Wade's pity.
Heatherbloom started to run in the direction the car had gone, but he soon stopped. What madness! to attempt to catch a sixty-horse-power machine! Why, it was nearly a mile away already. The young man stood stock-still while a cogent reaction swept over him. The woman had passed within fifty feet of where he had lain, head near the earth, moping.
The absence of Cheenbuk may have had something to do with her absence, but, as she was seated in Mangivik's igloe moping over the lamp, it is more charitable to suppose that a longing for home sweet home was weighing down her spirits.
Therefore it's only a companion she wants to keep her from moping and dwelling on sad thoughts; and you seem to be able to do that as well as any of us; so why can't you get another man, or boy if you prefer it, to go for a run into the country with you? Flip would take her by the next train if he were there. He wouldn't care a farthing for scandalmongers.
"Moping her up there among themselves; and it seemed to me they snubbed her whenever she spoke." The Dean had not wanted his aunt's observation to make him feel this. The tone of every syllable addressed to his girl had caught his ear. He had been pleased to marry her into so good a family.
