In the natural course of his leisurely progress, equally unhasting and unresting, Gerrard was now approaching the neighbourhood of the city of Agpur, not without experiencing an occasional constricted feeling about his throat, as though he was walking into a trap the entrance into which had obligingly been made easy for him.
Already most of the camels had moved on. From dawn till noon, from noon under the blazing sun till half-past five in the afternoon, the camels moved on and on, "unhasting, unresting." As the camels were kneeling to be unloaded, a shout went up. Forder looking up saw ten robbers on horseback on a mound.
On and on, unhasting but unresting, we stolidly jogged, by great good fortune slipping across the "doldrums" that hateful belt of calms about the line so much detested by all sailor-men without losing the south-east wind. Not one day of calm delayed us, the north-east trades meeting us like a friend sent to extend a welcoming hand and lend us his assistance on our homeward way.
A subdued, quiet animation, an unhasting, restrained use of sensations and powers, an equilibrium of health in each separate creature there is her very basis, her unvarying law, that is what she stands upon and holds to. Everything that goes beyond this level, above or below it makes no difference she flings away as worthless.
"And always, at all times life here is quiet, unhasting," he thought; "whoever comes within its circle must submit; here there is nothing to agitate, nothing to harass; one can only get on here by making one's way slowly, as the ploughman cuts the furrow with his plough.

With impenetrable solemnity the holy man meekly moved aside, with equally impenetrable coolness, Aubrey eyed him up and down, then the two passed each other, and Aubrey walked with the same unhasting pace, to the end of the street, then turned to see that the priest had paused in his holy musings to crane his neck after him and watch him with the most eager scrutiny.
Madame wrought at it like a true star, "unhasting yet unresting." I will not deny that it was with a secret glee I watched her. Had I been a gentleman I believe Madame would have found favour in my eyes, she was so handy, neat, thorough in all she did: some people's movements provoke the soul by their loose awkwardness, hers satisfied by their trim compactness.
"Same to you, Miss," he said; and added, with a flash of audacity, "To you and Dave both." He headed south, the others north. From the hilltop Dave looked back at the squat figure steadily diminishing with distance. Shorty was moving toward Mexico, unhasting and with a certain sureness of purpose characteristic of him. Joyce smiled.
Thy life, wert thou the pitifullest of all the sons of earth, is no idle dream, but a solemn reality. It is thine own; it is all thou hast with which to front eternity. Work, then, even as he has done like a star, unhasting and unresting." At Marburg, Tyndall was on good terms with the great Bunsen, and used to act as his assistant in making practical chemical experiments before his classes.
But he had become for me, by reason of that quiet and unhasting devotion to his work while the years came and went, a sort of hero; and the very mystery involving just what he was about had addicted me to those ideas of magnificence which the unknown is said always to foster. Even so, however, I am not blind to the great merits of the play as it stands.
