I do not know why I should seek from you any postponement or long delay." The emperor weeps with pity, while Cliges sheds tears of joy when the permission to fight is granted him. Many a tear was shed that day, and no respite or delay was asked. Before the hour of prime, by the duke's own messenger the challenge to battle was sent back to him accepted as he had proposed.英文原著 · 《Four Arthurian Romances》
Wolf ordered his men to break in the door. After some little delay, one of the keepers applied a chisel, while a policeman held his truncheon ready to defend the operator. The lock gave way. But the door could not open for furniture. After some further delay they took it off its hinges, and the room stood revealed. To their surprise no rush was made at them. The maniac was not even in sight. "He is down upon his luck," whispered one of the new keepers; "we shall find him crouched somewhere." They looked under the bed.英文原著 · 《Hard Cash》
Delay? Why should there be delay? Amy wished nothing but to become his wife. Idle to think of his doing any more work until he sat down in the home of which she was mistress.

THE THREE BADGERS. Still more dreamily I found myself following this imperious voice into a room where the Earl, his daughter, and Arthur, were seated. "So you're come at last!" said Lady Muriel, in a tone of playful reproach. "I was delayed," I stammered. Though what it was that had delayed me I should have been puzzled to explain!

There was no need for me to maintain the conversation.英文原著 · 《Sylvie and Bruno》
