He sighed contentedly and turned to reënter the house, but even as he did so he wheeled about in response to the greeting: "How do you do, Mr. Kronberg?" The speaker was none other than Morris Perlmutter, who had tossed on his pillow until past midnight devising a plan for approaching Uncle Mosha in a plausible manner.
Should one take a cynical view of mankind because he perceives this great power of the commonplace? Not at all. He should recognize and respect this power. He may even say that it is this power that makes the world go on as smoothly and contentedly as it does, on the whole. Woe to us, is the thought of Carlyle, when a thinker is let loose in this world!
He stretched his long legs out gingerly because of the aches, sighed contentedly, and looked about him. His eyes fell on Neil. "Hello, chum!" he said weakly. "Haven't you gone in yet?"

While a fidgetty child cannot keep still for two minutes at a time, I sit contentedly for days together in the same attitude; and I have before now seen one of those irritable young mortals cry at a scratch, while I was hearing needles drawn in and out of every part of my body, or sitting with a pin run straight through my heart, calmly congratulating myself on being free from the inconveniences of flesh and blood.
"Oh, I was just thinking!" Bert stretched in his chair, to the infinite peril of his equilibrium and hers.

"I'll bet you there are lots of rich men who would like to try it again!
Old Dick chuckled and grinned, and without more ado took out and filled a short black pipe, which he lit with a burning glass, and then sat contentedly sucking at it, while Bob, who had provided himself with a bamboo about ten feet long a natural fishing-rod in one piece fitted on a thin line, baited his hook, and began to fish in the deep stream.
