“Stroll” in literature

I daresay you are watching me, and wondering what will happen when I discover you, I can tell you what will happen.
Frances Hodgson Burnett – The Shuttle
As it was now too near the middle of the day to see any dancing, and hearing that a bull was expected down from the country, to be baited in the presidio square, in the course of an hour or two, we took a stroll among the houses.
Richard Henry Dana – Two Years Before the Mast
One day after dinner Will took a stroll among the firs; a grave beatitude possessed him from top to toe, and he kept smiling to himself and the landscape as he went.
Robert Louis Stevenson – Merry Men
