He was not writing yet; he was filling up his soul with the thing, making it a reservoir of impressions. Some times it would seem that the reservoir was nearly full, and he would be seized with a hunger to be at work; he would go about possessed by it absent-minded, restless, nervous when he was spoken to.
He fell asleep for a little. Then the cool wind that blew inside the cave woke him up. He sat for a few minutes without moving, absent-minded, vague-eyed. He tried to reflect, to recapture his still torpid thoughts. And, as he recovered his consciousness, he was on the point of rising, when he received the impression that his eyes, suddenly fixed, suddenly wide-open, saw
This, as I afterwards discovered, was her way of finding conversation for strangers. Have you ever met with absent-minded people to whom it is a relief to ask questions mechanically, without feeling the slightest interest in the answers? She began. "Where did you live in America?" "At Tadmor, in the State of Illinois." "What sort of place is Tadmor?"
In the inner doorway Razumov had a glimpse of the protuberance of a large stomach, which he recognized. Only a few feet from him Julius Laspara was getting down hurriedly from his high stool. The appearance of the midnight visitor caused no small sensation. Laspara is very summary in his version of that night's happenings. He was growing uneasy, and Razumov appeared absent-minded.
And like all artistic people Marshall is a little absent-minded absorbed to the point of not seeing exactly what he is doing. Poor young man, I sometimes tremble for his future. Such a highly strung, sensitive nature amounts almost to a curse. If he got into wrong hands what mightn't the end be? Catastrophe, for he is capable of fatal desperation.

You and the governor ought to understand each other. He expects to see you tonight.
Wyatt turned to him. "I suppose you are very fond of theatres?" "Yes no yes, I mean; I go to heaps." He wondered if his reply sounded very foolish and absent-minded. He rushed on to cover it. "I've seen this particular play a dozen times; it's a great favourite of mine. I I'm very keen on it." "I think it is lovely," said Christine dreamily. She was leaning back beside him in the corner.
"Understand me well, a master of your choice," the uneasy parent replies. Magdalene is making signs from the doorway to Eva. The girl becomes absent-minded, drops the subject in question, and suggests to her father that he go in to supper. Vexed with himself and her, he rises from her side. "We are not expecting any guest, are we?" he asks, a shade querulously. "Why, surely, the Knight?"
If Edgar made any poetry while in the water he did not mention it; but he was absent-minded and unsociable all the way to the river and back sky-gazing for curious cloud-forms, listening for bird-notes and hunting wild-flowers, and talking almost none at all.
There is one comfort about the beastly business, you cannot blame me more than I blame myself." "It might have been worse," said Sylvia, who always championed Rumple through thick and thin. "And of course no one expects quite so much from a poet as from a more ordinary person. People with teeming ideas are always rather absent-minded I find; it is one of the penalties of the artistic temperament.
