For pretence's sake he announced that he would wait no longer, whereupon Nicholas brought in his supper, and left him again to go and linger about the door, looking out into the night and listening for his master's return.
Принеся ужин, Николас вышел из столовой и отправился в холл. Открыв дверь, он некоторое время вглядывался в темноту, прислушиваясь, не идет ли хозяин.

The strike was swift and measured. The damage inflicted was largely superficial and of no lasting consequence to an army of this size, so the Dwarves did not linger.
Нападение было стремительным и точно рассчитанным, однако нанесенный им урон не мог привести к серьезным последствиям для такой огромной армии, поэтому дворфы не стали задерживаться.

He read it slowly, working his way through its thick parchment pages with deliberate pacing, letting his eyes linger on the gold edges and ornate calligraphy, determined that now that the book was opened nothing should be missed.
Он читал ее медленно, неторопливо перелистывая плотные пергаментные страницы, разглядывая золотые виньетки на исписанных витиеватым почерком листах и думая: «Раз уж я открыл книгу, нельзя пропускать ни одной мелочи».

He thought of it as "rescuing," for it seemed to him that he could not linger an hour, and that by daylight he must be on the high road.
Именно спасти, ибо, по понятиям его, медлить нельзя было уже ни часу и чем свет надо было находиться на большой дороге.

Suddenly from out of the distance came a prolonged, resonant, almost wailing sound, one of those inexplicable sounds of the night, which break upon a profound stillness, rise upon the air, linger, and slowly die away at last.
Вдруг, где-то в отдалении, раздался протяжный, звенящий, почти стенящий звук, один из тех непонятных ночных звуков, которые возникают иногда среди глубокой тишины, поднимаются, стоят в воздухе и медленно разносятся наконец, как бы замирая.

I was alone aboard the tugboat, and I doubted that the collector holding the contract on Utgard’s spirit would allow him to linger as a poltergeist.
На борту буксира я оставался один и сомневался, что тот, кто имел на руках контракт на душу Утгарда, позволит ему задержаться в этом мире, чтобы устроить полтергейст.

'It was in the sweet days of youth,' she sang: every note seemed to linger plaintive and ardent in the evening air.
«Век юный, прелестный», – пела она; каждый звук так и расстилался в вечернем воздухе – жалобно и знойно".
