Too weighed down even to give voice, he merely sat and looked at her.

He didn't get out but merely sat behind the wheel.

He merely sat there, his face serious, waiting for Dan to go on.

Others merely sat, trying to make sense of what they had seen.

After a while the sense of waiting for something to happen passed, and they merely sat.

I merely sat beside her, and we were both silent.

And she a girl of twelve merely sat looking at me.

But we were merely sitting, so perhaps half a gallon would be enough.

The wolf did not say anything, but merely sat and watched.
