"It be," he announced, and went out on the track to welcome the guest. "She do look," he contemplatively remarked, "like she had an all-fired jag on." The train came in sight, swaying unsteadily on its rickety tracks. Puffing, panting and hissing, it reached the platform and stopped jerkily.
He was sick of the sight of her and the children. They were not nice children. He looked at Hazel contemplatively. If his conjecture was right, he would have to try and legalize things during the next few months. He badly wanted a son born in wedlock. He would have to go and beg the parson to divorce her. It would be detestable, but it would have to be done. He would wait and see.
The Umpire drew a long breath; the good-looking English Commissioner heaved a sigh, and again commenced amusing himself with the quill; the sedate American Commissioner yawned, and turned contemplatively the leaves of a commentary; to end, they all seemed seized with the yawning fever, which was kept up until they laughed right earnestly at one another, the handsome gentleman stretching his arms athwart, and making a hideous grimace.
"Very much," replied Constance enthusiastically. "It is so exciting, you know." "You must come again when more of my friends are here." "I should like to. But to-night was very nice."

Let us yield him this new ascent, this new triumphant peak and pyramid in science, which he claims to have been the first to master, the unity of the universal man, the historical unity, the universal human form, collected from particulars, not contemplatively abstracted, the inducted Man of the new philosophy.
The jam crew, scattered for many miles along the lower stretches, kept the drive going; running out over the surface of the river like water-bugs to thrust apart logs threatening to lock; leaning for hours on the shafts of their peavies watching contemplatively the orderly ranks as they drifted by, sleepy, on the bosom of the river; occasionally gathering, as the filling of the river gave warning, to break a jam.
He cared more about getting on in the world than he did about his wife." Jethro looked away contemplatively. "Wa-wahn't the woman to blame any?" he said.
