After this, which was part of Pink's little code of philosophy, she fell a-musing happily, while Hilda walked beside her in a kind of silent rage, almost hating herself for the fulness of vigor, the superabundant health and buoyancy, which she felt in every limb. She looked sidelong at the transparent cheek, the wasted frame, the unearthly radiance of the blue eyes.
Fairfax fell a-musing upon those apocryphal men who might be subjugated by the charms of Miss Lovel.

He was really attached to Geraldine Challoner.
Hilarius listened with a smile until the last notes of Martin's voice had died away, and then fell a-musing of hunger and love, the dancer and the Prior.

But, friend of the wood, as to thralls, there be none such in the Dale, but therein are all men friends and neighbours, and even so shall ye be. And he fell a-musing, when he bethought him of how little he had known of sorrow.

How much brighter a road might it have been, had he been wiser, had he known!
