"I had a cow, a gentle cow, who browsed beside my door, Did not think much of Maeterlinck, and would not, furthermore!" "Heavens!" he ended, "that fool and his magazine editors! Nobody but you could have been so patient with the poor devil, Marge." He leaned her and himself back in the cab, and stared contemplatively out at New York going by.
Roy asked, with a pathetic smile that went straight to his aunt's heart. "There's no reason why he shouldn't go into Parliament, and perhaps end by being a member of the cabinet." "I never quite understand what that is," said Roy, contemplatively. "I don't think I should like to be shut up in a stuffy cupboard. They shut them up in it to talk, don't they, Aunt Judy?" How Miss Bertram laughed!
Tomaso had always said that the diversion of his mill-stream would be dangerous to the traffic on the new road. But it was nobody's business to consult Tomaso. He stood in the middle of the road, contemplatively biting his lower lip a lean, lithe man, who had lived a clean and simple life and never dreamt that this might be his fortune trotting down the new Miramar road towards him.
There, not ten paces away, sitting up on its haunches and eying him contemplatively, was a gigantic wolf, much bigger, it seemed to him, than any wolf had any right to be. Timmins' first instinct was to spring to his feet, with a yell that would give the dreadful stranger to understand that he was a fellow it would not be well to tamper with. But his woodcraft stayed him.
Isn't it about time you toed the line?" The King's Messenger shook his head. "No. It doesn't come my way." His eyes rested contemplatively on his outstretched leg. "Not very likely to either.... How d'you like the idea of joining up with the 'Great Silent' again after the flesh-pots and whatnot?" For the second time he had changed the conversation almost abruptly. Standish lit his pipe.
Buck drew up a chair, and obediently filled and lit his pipe. "Life's pretty twisted," the Padre began, his steady gray eyes smiling contemplatively. "So twisted, it makes you wonder some. That girl's happier now, because I told her there were no such things as cusses. Yes, it's all queer." He reached out and helped himself from Buck's tobacco pouch. Then he, too, filled and lit his pipe.
Haley, notwithstanding that he was a very old bird, and naturally inclined to be suspicious of chaff, was rather brought up by this view of the case. "If yer warn't both on yer such cussed liars, now!" he said, contemplatively as he pondered a moment.
"I have just learned that you have taken over the business, and I wish as quickly as possible to form with the son the same cordial relations which for years I enjoyed with the father." Bobby looked him contemplatively in the eye, but had no experience upon which to base a picture of his father and Mr. Trimmer enjoying perpetually cordial relations with a knife down each boot leg.
As she took one of these and twirled it contemplatively, the blue-gray vapor spiraling upward was no more dreamy than her eyes. "The invincible Orient!" she said, all at once. "It absorbs everything and gives back nothing. And we thought, we hoped, we might conquer part of it! Well no that's not done."
Stanley gazed contemplatively around him as his friend spoke. "Hand me the telescope, Frank; it strikes me we are nearer the sea than you think. The water here is brackish, and yonder opening in the mountains might reveal something beyond, if magnified by the glass."
