After the completion of those researches, and in a paper forwarded to the Royal Society on October 22, 1851, he devotes himself to the formal development and illustration of his favourite idea. The paper bears the title, 'On lines of magnetic force, their definite character, and their distribution within a magnet and through space. A deep reflectiveness is the characteristic of this memoir.
All his bearing showed his intellect, his reflectiveness, and his greatness, and was not devoid of a certain grace.
German children are not exuberant or volatile: they are serious, a seriousness, however, not to be confounded with the grave reflectiveness of age, but only the abstract wonderment of childhood; for all those who have made a loving study of the young human animal will, I think, admit that its dominant expression is GRAVITY, and not playfulness, and will be satisfied that he erred pitifully who first ascribed "light-heartedness" and "thoughtlessness" as part of its phenomena.
A direct question inevitably plunged Master Gammon so deep amid the soundings of his reflectiveness, that it was the surest way of precluding a response from him; but on this occasion his honest deliberation bore fruit. "Squire Blancove, he's dead." The name caused Rhoda to shudder.
"Some folks is too damn dirty," said Wid Gardner to himself as he passed now along the edge of the willow bank toward the front gate of his own ranch, a half-mile up the stream. "And him talking about a woman!" He flung out his hand in disgust at the mere thought. That is to say, he did at first. Then he began to walk more slowly. A touch of reflectiveness came upon his own face.
Nevertheless, I felt chilled to the bone, and I was glad enough to get into bed as quickly as I could.

Haply if he had lingered without the sweats of bodily tortures to stay reflectiveness, he, also, in the strangeness of his prostration, might have cast a thought on the irony of the fates felling a man like him by a youngster's hand and for a shallow girl!
Berta watched her with a wavering expression that veered from wrathful amusement to uneasy reflectiveness. Was it really true that she dressed so untidily as this little scamp made out? Perhaps she did slight details once in a while, but though not scrupulously dainty like Lila, still she tried to be neat enough on the whole.
'That isn't trying to answer a question, you know. Alma, after looking keenly at him, had turned her face to the window. She kept silence, and wore a look of calm reflectiveness. 'Have you been bored and wearied by this life? Harvey asked in his most good-natured tone. 'I don't think I have ever for a moment shown a sign of it, replied Alma, with grave conviction.
So the Colonel filled in the breach with "My old Kentucky Home," which he sang with much feeling, if not great art. This performance restored harmony and a gentle reflectiveness. Father Wills told about his journey up here ten years before and of a further expedition he'd once made far north to the Koyukuk.
