Yoko Ogawaの "the memory police" を読んでいます。
I looked around at the objects in the room and then tucked my hair behind my ears. R let go of my arm and leg, and I scuffed my foot in and out of my slipper. The traces of his fingers on my ankle and calf vanished almost immediately as they reverted to their plaster state.
"scuff" だと足を引きずって歩く意味があることは知っていますが、ここでは歩いていないので、辞書で確認します。
・Oxford English Dictionary: scuff your feet, heels, etc. to drag your feet along the ground as you walk
・Collins Dictionary: If you scuff your feet, you pull them along the ground as you walk.: Polly, bewildered and embarrassed, dropped her head and scuffed her feet.
・Cambridge English Dictionary: If you scuff your feet, you do not lift them as you walk.
やはり、普通は足を地面から離さないで歩くことですが、小説の場面では単に足をこする様に動かしているのでしょうね。
