"Look at those two youngsters down there, engaged to be married, and swearing by the moon that nobody ever loved as they do. How absurd it is! A man has to be fifty before he knows enough about love to get married." "Nonsense!" "I cannot take youth seriously," he ruminated; "its behavior, yes; that may be serious enough!
Now, Kennedy, there must be some way to catch those crooks with the goods." "They aren't ordinary crooks, you know," ruminated Kennedy. "I know they are not.

Joe pushed the bottle toward Casey, eyeing him curiously. "That stuff they run yesterday shore is kicky," Joe ruminated sympathetically. "Pap's proud as pups over it. He thinks it's the real article but I dunno. Shore laid yuh out, Casey, an' yuh never got much, neither. Not enough t' lay yuh out the way it did. Y' look sick." "I AM sick!"
