She was approaching the end of her endurance; she could not resist much longer this her dull rambling brain told her over and over. And that curious phenomenon that feeling of confidence and exultation that she had had away back when was it? Long ago, anyhow that had meant nothing nothing meant nothing. The Supreme Intelligence who had made things didn't know she existed, probably.
Life, I tell you, would be impossible without you. And now I want " She had heard him so far with a feeling that she had dropped some material word which made sense of the rest. She could hear no more of this unintelligible rambling without checking him. She felt that she was overhearing what was meant for another. "I don't understand," she said. "You're saying things that you don't mean."
There is a most flattering entreaty in his tone. Marcia considers. Violet and Cecil are forever rambling round, and she knows how easily an interview can be spoiled. It will hardly be safe to appoint one between here and Grandon Park. Down below the park there is a little cove, with a splendid view opposite, and a grove of trees for protection. She will appoint it here. Friday is unlucky.

He showed me the track of five ignorant persons rambling through the wood, as the hawk flies in the air, round, round, round, all the time, or like an ox that has been browsing on the leaves of the buck-eye; and he showed me that five evil-minded Shawnees were pursuing in their trail.

"Because," said he, "we can then amuse ourselves by rambling about here, and shall be ready to return to the steamboat whenever they send for us." So they went to the tavern. Forester seemed to have little appetite for his breakfast. He complained of feeling fatigued, and yet he had nothing to fatigue him. Marco ate, and talked fast all the time; but Forester seemed silent and dejected.
The only place where its banks are shelving is on the side next to a rambling farmyard, belonging to one of those old world, gabled, black and white houses I named above, overlooking the field through which the public footpath leads.
The Collector lives in a long rambling bungalow furnished with folding chairs and tables, and in every way marked by the provisional arrangements of camp life. He seems to have just arrived from out of the firmament of green fields and mango groves that encircles the little station where he lives; or he seems just about to pass away into it again.
They are always to be found lurking about fairs, and races, and rustic gatherings, wherever there is pleasure, and throng, and idleness.
