How tediously wore that dreary night away in the sickroom, where the insensible child was watched by his mother and her friend! The flickering taper, which both forgot to snuff, would fitfully flare up and reveal the watchers, the bed, and the prostrate form of the pale, stiff, motionless boy, with his eyes flared back with a fixed and horrid stare.
They can never be kept out with certainty, and all the good done by a series of brilliant evenings satin dresses, new flowers for the hair, expensive patterns, and tediously finished toilets may be, and often is, suddenly counteracted by one untidy head, soiled dress, or dirty stocking. I will, however, return to my story.
So to-day, with Roger's leave, Trevarthen withdrew five of the garrison and rode off, leaving but four men on guard Roger himself, Malachi, a labourer named Pascoe, and one Hickory Rodda a schoolmaster from Wendron, whose elder brother, Nathaniel, a small farmer from the same parish, went with the expedition. The short day passed quietly enough, if tediously.
Tell me about the painters. What are they like? Funny?" The doctor came in; I began telling them about the painters, but, being unaccustomed to talking, I was constrained, and described them like an ethnologist, gravely and tediously.
No easy work was it climbing tediously up the narrow footway in a sharp spur rising some 1,000 feet in a ribbed ascent, overlooking a fearful drop. Over to the left I saw an unhappy little urchin, hardly a rag covering his shivering, bleeding body, grovelling piteously in the snow, while his blind and goitrous mother did her best at gathering firewood with a hatchet.
The gallery of the Senate chamber was early preempted by Lonny and the San Saba lobby. In the front row of chairs they sat, wild-haired, self-conscious, jingling, creaking, and rattling, subdued by the majesty of the council hall. The bill was introduced, went to the second reading, and then Senator Mullens spoke for it dryly, tediously, and at length.
Some step she was determined to take about Lord Ballindine; and, if her cousin refused to act like a cousin and a friend, she would only be exactly where she was before. The next three days passed slowly and tediously for most of the guests assembled at Grey Abbey.
You have a pat of butter and a bit of pork, with a liberal slice of brown bread; and before turning in you make a cup of tea, broil a slice of pork and indulge in a lunch. Ten o'clock comes. The time has not passed tediously. You are warm, dry and well-fed.
It did in Cecille's. If it be so true, so inevitable, so frightful, surely it should be self-evident now and then, instead of a mere matter of report. And beautiful generalization, never anything but vague, becomes noticeable after a time, questionable. The things of glory in this world are not so tediously many that they will not bear once or twice the telling.
As the armor worn was made tight at the sleeves with elastic wristbands, his remedy was to insert his fingers under it, and slowly and tediously allow the bubbling air to escape. In this he persevered steadily, encouraged by the prospect of escape. The way was long and difficult, but release certain with the reduction of that huge bulk.
