"He must be very busy trying some sheep-stealer in the hall," mused Israel. "I hope he won't forget all about me till to-morrow." He waited and listened; and listened and waited. Another restless night; no sleep; morning came. The second day passed like the first, and the night. On the third morning the flowers lay shrunken by his side.
"No, I am wrong," my aunt added, presently; "that dress I am thinking of is richer than that; the lace on that robe was never bought for ten dollars, or fifteen either. What do you want to know about it for, Daisy?" I mused a great deal.
Alas, with a little bow, a smile, and a shrug, the waiter passed by, and the disappointed couple sank back, with looks of blank despair. Surely here was enough to set any open-minded man on the right track! Yes; but not enough to free one who was tied and bound to his own theory. "She's dashed anxious to hoar from home!" mused Laing. "Poor girl! It ain't over and above flattering to him, though."
Up and up he went, until he stood on the top. Before him was a fence, with high iron pickets, put there evidently for the double purpose of keeping certain persons out, and certain other persons from falling over the cliff. "Too risky to scale that," Frank mused, as he noted the sharp-pointed palings. "I'll walk along it a bit."
Bagehot has remarked, that savages did not formerly waste away before the classical nations, as they now do before modern civilised nations; had they done so, the old moralists would have mused over the event; but there is no lament in any writer of that period over the perishing barbarians. I am much indebted to Mr.
"Gad, it's a hard thine: to lose a fellow of that sort: but he must go," thought the major. "He has grown rich, and impudent since he has grown rich. He was horribly tipsy and abusive tonight. We must part, and I must go out of the lodgings. Dammy, I like the lodgings; I'm used to 'em. It's very unpleasant, at my time of life, to change my quarters." And so on, mused the old gentleman.
And the wiry little man released himself and bustled away to his chair where he became buried in rugs and magazines. "Corsica to-morrow," said the admiral. "Napoleon," said Laura. "Romance," said Cathewe. "Treasures," said M. Ferraud. Hildegarde felt uneasy. Breitmann toyed with the bread crumbs. He was inattentive besides. "Napoleon. There is an old scandal," mused M. Ferraud.
"I'd give a lot to know whether we've got the Germans licked or not," mused Fitts. "We've had nearly three years to do it in." "Depends entirely on the navy," said Platt, Minister of Marine, late of the U. S. Navy. "What can the navy do if the Germans will not come out?" demanded Landover. "Why, confound it all, the navy can go in, can't it?" "The British Navy hasn't," was Landover's reply.
There are reasons that I shall not presume to examine, why the cell of poor Francesco was kept closed, long after the death and confession of his accuser left his innocence beyond dispute." The prince mused, and then he bethought him to consult the countenance of his companion. The marble of the pilaster, against which he leaned, was not more cold and unmoved than the face of the inquisitor.
There was only Silence. "Mighty queer," mused the youth. "Whoever it was, he couldn't have had more than a minute start of me no, not even half a minute and yet they've disappeared as completely as though the ground had opened and let them down; and the worst of it is, that they've taken my plans with them!" He turned about and retraced his steps, making a careful search.
