stay put

But the nuns stayed put after a court ordered them out earlier this year.

“They’d rather rent out their home than sell for a low price, and people who don’t need to move now are opting to stay put and re-list in a year or two.”

“By staying put in that pew, a side is taken,” Jud insists to the parishioners.

“I absolutely do. And I think—that is —I hope you understand mine. Meaning, if you’d rather stay put for a bit, then I would, too.”

But Lady Constance would not stay put; she raced from window to window and peered out to see if the Widow Ashton’s carriage had arrived.
