"How that poor abbe fails! Did you notice that he slept? He does not know what cards he holds; he is getting very absent-minded." "We shall soon have the grief of losing him." "What a fine night! It will be a fine day to-morrow." "Good weather for the apple-blossoms." "You beat us; but when you play with Monsieur de Valois you never do otherwise." "How much did he win?"
"I concede her beauty," I said, uneasy at his warm praise, "but as to her wit, I confess I scarcely exchanged a dozen words with her that night, and so am no judge." "Ah!" he said, with an absent-minded stare. "I naturally devoted myself to my cousin Dorothy," I added, irritated, without knowing why. "Quite so quite so," he mused.
Then, there is the parrot; what a long time it takes to teach him to say "Gear-ardelly." And that sentimental touch, "If pipes could talk." They do. Sometimes, in an absent-minded way, I get them confused, movies and merchandise, and find myself wondering who's starring in "Nucoa."
He turned in silence, and left the room. “My suffering is her revenge,” he murmured on leaving the room. Once alone, he stood for a while perfectly absent-minded. “Am I really suffering?” he said to himself.
Raffles woke me to hear "The Absent-Minded Beggar" on the morning it appeared; he was one of the first substantial subscribers to the fund. By this time our dear landlady was more excited than we. To our enthusiasm for Thomas she added a personal bitterness against the Wild Boars, as she persisted in calling them, each time as though it were the first.

"You must try to look out for Mr. Seaton then on this trip. He is so absent-minded! Come and I'll show you your room, Enoch. You must get ready for dinner." She rose, and led the boy down the hall to a small room. It was furnished in oak and chintz.
"God save the Queen" and "Rule Britannia" were thrown in every now and then, but seldom, if ever, I am glad to say, that wearisome doggerel "The Absent-Minded Beggar". It is quite a mistake, by the way, to suppose that Mr. Kipling's poetry is widely appreciated by the rank and file of the army. From what I have noticed, the less intelligent soldiers know nothing at all about Mr.
He was probably out in the hay field with the others. She gave her aunt a rather absent-minded greeting and a highly condensed summary of her news. Her father was well and was stopping on with Paula for a day or two. "He's taken over my job," she concluded mischievously, "maid, chauffeur and chaperon.
On this occasion I had listened to the conversation of these two men on philosophy and philosophers, which made a tremendous impression on me. I remember that Weiss was an absent-minded man, with a hasty and abrupt manner of speaking; he had an interesting and pensive expression which impressed me immensely.
"No, no," he thought, watching her with pride, as she played round the camel, "let the maiden wait to know the joy in store for her till the full moon; she is but a child." Stanhope went that night to a dance at the palace at Khartoum, but he was late in arriving, and seemed very dull and absent-minded when he came, and flattered the women less than usual.
