"I'll not pretend we couldn't get more if we waited," she said; "but waiting's a loss, and we're doing very well downstairs, and can afford to pick and choose. You'll find in business that it pays better in the end to get a good tenant you can trust, who'll stay, than one who gives you double the amount for a month, and then goes off with the blankets."
"But it will never be able to forget the light and it will wait There is never any real brightness till the waiting's past." The Sabbath stillness was about them and its peace was in their hearts. They scarce knew why, and the world would have said that Shadow was their portion; but, then and ever, true peace passeth all understanding.
Ah, well!" she wiped a sudden dew from her glasses, "waiting's hard, my dear, but it ends, it ends." Millicent was hurt by the unbroken faith in her, by the unquestioning belief she could not share. She looked wistfully upon the shining, tearful eyes. "It is very beautiful to think that," she said, "but, dear Aunt Harriet, you are mistaken about me. I am going to tell you everything.
The twelve leagues which, they ran since ten o'clock, with the two leagues distance from the land, form a total corresponding essentially with the distance and situation of Waiting's Island from San Salvador; and it is thence presumed, that the light seen at that hour was on Watling's Island, which they were then passing.
"Well, if he hasn't done anything about it so far, there's no reason why he should act immediately the story becomes common property," he said in a tone of relief. "No no," she said slowly. Then she sobbed once and cried: "But, oh, this waiting's so dreadful! Never knowing what's going to happen and when feeling that he's lying in wait all the time."
"Yes, yes, I know of course it's sure to be all right but I suppose this waiting's got on my nerves. There was a fellow in the Park just broken his wife's head in and then everything was so quiet. I could almost hear her crying, right away in her room." He stopped a moment and then went on. "It's what I've always wanted always to have a boy. And, by Jove, he'll be wonderful!
Just the same feeling has made me do this with the addition, of course, that I'm more in love with you now." "I don't believe it, or you'd have trusted me trusted my love for you." "I've trusted it enormously trusted it to forgive me this deceit." "If you had come and told me " "At the very best you'd have taken months." "And you couldn't wait for me?" "Well, waiting's a thing I detest."
Meanwhile the two men were skulking about among the trees, watching, yet not coming near, "at their usual work of waiting," as the Captain said. "Proper enough, too, let 'em wait. Waiting's their business. Now," taking off his tin and looking towards them, "what d'ye s'pose those anemiles want? Pity the boat hadn't tipped over before they got here. Camp's overrun now with just such scoots.
Certain phrases of Dick's were ringing in his ears to the exclusion of all more immediate conversational fragments. "Cave-man stuff that's the answer to you and Caroline.... This watchful waiting's entirely the wrong idea...." Billy made a great lunge toward the figure of his fiancée, and caught her in his arms. "I've never really kissed you before," he cried, "now I shan't let you go."
This watchful waiting's entirely the wrong idea." "Why do we do it then?" Billy inquired pathetically. "I wanted Nancy to sow her economic wild oats. I guess you felt the same way about Caroline." "Well, they've sowed 'em, haven't they?" "Not by a long shot. That's the trouble, they don't get any forrider, from our point of view.
