I waited for my father, but he didn't come, so Bob said we should get on with the lesson.

She got scared but still waited for her father to come out.

Every afternoon Alex would stand by the front window, waiting for his father to come home.

"Perhaps you'd like me to tell you a story while we wait for your father."

Despite waiting for her father, the car suddenly started driving.

He sat down again and waited for his father to join him.

"It's because I spent so much time waiting for my own father."

And waited for her father to make the next move.

Unlike' so many, he did not stand around waiting for his father to die or, as also happened sometimes, try to speed the process along.

Or would she simply wait for her father to do the job?
