[ verb ] pass by, as of time
Used in print (William Maxwell, The Chateau....)When enough time had elapsed so_that there was little likelihood of his returning for something he had forgotten , Harold went_out into the hall and stood looking into one room after another . (E. Lucas Myers, "The Vindication of Dr. Nestor,"...)Time elapsed but the doctor was obviously unconscious of its passage until an unwelcome knock on the door interrupted the processes of nature . |
