He should have waited a few hours in order to drive home the utter inconsequence with which he regarded the incident. What an asinine blunder! She would think he considered himself particularly favored. She would think he was reacting with the most inept intimacy to a quite trivial episode.
When I told them of my conviction that the records had been tampered with, they laughed at me." The Judge's eyes gleamed indignantly. "Sometimes, I feel heartily in sympathy with people who rail at the courts their attitude is often positively asinine." "Perhaps the long arm of power has reached to Santa Fe?" suggested Trevison.

"I'm glad to find you alone," he said; "I want to make an explanation." "Don't bother about it," she told him frigidly. "You owe me no explanations whatsoever, Mr. Turner." "I'm going to make them anyhow," he declared. "You saw me twice this afternoon in utterly asinine situations." "I remember of no such situations," she stated still frigidly, and started to move on toward the house.
Nay, I fancy most persons would excuse him, if in this case he did not take the trouble to go through the process of verification at all; and it would not be without a parallel in the history of the human mind, if our imaginary physiologist now maintained that he was acquainted with asinine circulation a priori.
