intermittent
in
The Pedestrian, by Ray Bradbury
- For long ago he had wisely changed to sneakers when strolling at night, because the dogs in intermittent squads would parallel his journey with barkings if he wore hard heels, and lights might click on and faces appear and an entire street be startled by the passing of a lone figure, himself, in the early November evening.†
intermittent = stopping and starting at irregular intervals
