He will presently add that I am one of the dullest men he ever went a walk with. Then he will devote himself to reading out the inscriptions. How comes it, this immediate deterioration in those who go walking for walking's sake? Just what happens? I take it that not by his reasoning faculties is a man urged to this enterprise.
If there's sickness of any kind hanging round me and I feel like it you don't want me here, and I dare say they'd take me into the hospital at Victoria. Walking's easier than logging, anyway, and it seems wiser to try for that fir in daylight."
So you went home to your mother?" "Yes and it was just as Mrs. Harman said: there wasn't a stitch wanted! I went from place to place, asking I nearly killed myself walking about: walking's harder for one not used to it than sitting ever so long! So I went back to Mrs. Harman, and told her. She said she couldn't have me just then, but she'd keep her eye on me. I went home nearly out of my mind.
"Oh" he did not fully understand this answer "I should like to know how you think the boy is going on, if it is not giving you too much trouble; do you ever take walks?" "Not for walking's sake, sir." "Well!" said he, "you go to church, I suppose? Mrs Mason does not keep you at work on Sundays, I trust?" "Oh, no, sir. I go to church regularly."
I felt, moreover, that I had bought the right to use some frankness with the veteran, and I said to him: "Do you know now, I shouldn't care if I never saw you again?" I can only conjecture that he took the confidence in good part, for he did not appear again after that. Walking for walking's sake I do not like.
Anyhow, we won't risk it. Walking's good enough for me." "Just as you please," she choked, and forthwith disappeared into the house. Gordon turned from gazing after her to find the little Spaniard bowing before him. "Consider me at your service, Mr. Gordon " "Can't use you," cut in Dick curtly. "I was remarking that, as her kinsman, I, Don Manuel Pesquiera, stand prepared to make good her words.
So possibly my dog feels when together we take the air. To me it is a simple walk, maybe a little tiresome, suggested rather by contemplation of my waistband than by desire for walking for mere walking's sake; to him an expedition full of danger and surprises: "The gentleman asleep with one eye open on The Chequer's doorstep! will he greet me with a friendly sniff or try to bite my head off?
Rick took the Egyptian cat from its nest under his mattress and put it into the inner pocket of his coat. "Couldn't leave our pal, could we? Bad man might get 'im." "We can't let that happen until we find out why the animal is so appealing," Scotty agreed. "Spoken like a true Spindrifter. Do we walk, or take the elevator? Walking's faster, but the elevator is more adventurous."
"We didn't mean to take him till to-morrow," the officer added, "but out on the river one of us saw this gladiator business here in the red-light zone, and there wasn't any time to lose.... I don't know what your business with him was," the long-moustached detective said to Jean Jacques, "but whatever the grudge is, if you don't want to appear in court in the morning, the walking's good out of town night or day so long!"
Walking is to real exercise what vegetable food is to animal; it satisfies the appetite, but the nourishment is not sufficiently concentrated to be invigorating. It takes a man out-doors, and it uses his muscles, and therefore of course it is good; but it is not the best kind of good. Walking, for walking's sake, becomes tedious.
