During the next month Don Mariano saw bears loafing about the edge of the woods or lolling over his fence at least a dozen times, and he couldn't at all make out what they were at, as they did not molest his hogs. One day he noticed with satisfaction that the hogs were improving and that one youngster, who had attended strictly to his feed, was actually growing fat.
He pointed to the west. "There's Yankee cavalry loafing in the hills. I reckon we'll gobble 'em, too. But don't you worry, Miss Cynthia," he added gallantly. "I shall be here to-night, and by sunrise there won't be a soldier within ten miles of you." "Within ten miles," she murmured; "ten miles is too near. I I think I will go back to the house."
Prayer gives you strength to "work" the answer comes from your Larger Self which is the Spirit of God "brooding" over all and pouring strength into all. But do not fly in the face of DEITY by expecting it to "do the work" for you while you go about loafing after offering your prayer. Nonsense. That man prays who works constantly, silently, patiently, unceasingly and intelligently. Exercise 1.
It showed up grandly there, with its bright green leaves so high in the air. The masters had granted the men a day off and given them plenty of beer. All that warm day they had made merry, drinking and singing and loafing about the streets like happy savages.
"I've discovered you, anyhow; and now I suggest to you that swearing won't help the reckoning between us." "Oh, stow your fine talk! I've heard of sea-lawyers, and I suppose you're a canal specimen. Carriage was paid at the other end, and you know it. I catch you here loafing, and I'm going to dispute the bill which means that you'll get the sack, my friend, whether I recover the money or no.
"I had then, as you remember, just returned to London after a lot of Indian Ocean, Pacific, China Seas a regular dose of the East six years or so, and I was loafing about, hindering you fellows in your work and invading your homes, just as though I had got a heavenly mission to civilize you. It was very fine for a time, but after a bit I did get tired of resting.
An Englishman, if he be kept waiting by a train in some forlorn station in which he can find no employment, curses his fate and all that has led to his present misfortune with an energy which tells the story of his deep and thorough misery. Such, I confess, is my state of existence under such circumstances. But a Western American gives himself up to "loafing," and is quite happy.
It was wonderful how highly that loafing young rascal, Joe Gregg, was prized at the moment. "It's an outrage that the son of a leading citizen should be held up in this way by one of the forestry Cossacks," declared one of the merchants.
They think all you've got to do is just to sit down and have afternoon tea and watch the crops grow by themselves." "Oh, come now, Gertie. You've never had to accuse me of loafing, and I'm an Englishman," said her husband good-naturedly. "I said 'most." "And as for afternoon tea," broke in Hornby, "I don't believe they have that sacred institution in the whole blessed country."
But with that teleceiver conversation I overheard and all the rest well, I just don't get it," he concluded lamely. "You'll get it in the neck if you don't watch out," said Roger. "Here comes Spike and he doesn't like to see us loafing!" The two cadets worked steadily for ten minutes, and when the guard finally walked away, they paused to watch the big ship again.
