All day long, with the exception of two or three easy ascents, we were travelling in pleasantly undulating country of park-like magnificence. My men dallied.

Then he told himself that Zen had been swept from his mind; that if ever they should meet and he dallied a moment with that possibility they would shake hands and say some decent, insipid things and part as people who had never met before. Only they would know.... Grant occupied himself with the work of the ranch that winter, spring, and summer. Occasional news of Mrs.
"I'm tired ... but I shall be all right presently. I'll just go upstairs now!..." He left her hurriedly, for Mary was anxious to tell her mother of their betrothal, and he wished her to know as quickly as possible.

"Why didn't you?" asked Van Horn nervously. Stone dallied with his glass: "I watched the hole all day. He didn't come out. That was enough, wasn't it?" "No," snapped Van Horn.

It was the most delicious food she had ever tasted, Bridget said. They made little jokes.

Well, for five weeks I have walked and tallied and dallied with the loveliest woman in the world, and the upshot is that I am flying from her, and am for a hermit's cave until I die. Love cannot keep possession of me: all my strongest powers rise up against it and will not endure it.
As his subordinates dashed up the stairway in futile pursuit, he dallied in the bullet-marked room that he might walk to the center of the stage and wave his unwounded arm melodramatically. "I will rescue her," he vowed solemnly. "I will rescue my little Martha though the chase leads to the burning, sand-strewn deserts of Africa!" There was tumultuous applause and the curtain.
Umballa had won his point in regard to having his prisoners flogged; but, Oriental that he was, he went about the matter leisurely. He ate his supper, changed his clothes and dallied in the zenana for an hour. The rascal had made a thorough study of the word "suspense"; he knew the exquisite torture of making one's victim wait. For the time being his passion for Kathlyn had subsided.
They rallied him upon his furtive movements and fickle demeanor, but drew only badinage in kind, and no explanations; and Townes, laughing, turned to the door. "Dally with us yet a little while, Reggie." "No, gentles, no! I'm starting abroad to-night and have already dallied too long." "Abroad!"
