Winn was all eagerness to meet her. "How do you mean?" he asked anxiously. "Oh," she said contemplatively, "such heaps of things! One thing, I don't expect you've ever noticed that you never ask your friends to stay here. I've had all mine; you've never even asked your mother! It's as if you were ashamed of me." "I'll ask her like a shot if you like," he said eagerly.
In the same spirit, but this time with a lurking smile at himself, did he write to the secretary of Congress for his commission: "If my commission is not necessary for the files of Congress, I should be glad to have it deposited among my own papers. It may serve my grandchildren, some fifty or a hundred years hence, for a theme to ruminate upon, if they should be contemplatively disposed."
His face grows alive and he looks this way and that. He starts to walk and walks quickly, leaving the newspaper man standing alone. The newspaper man watched him. As he stood looking after him some one tapped him on the shoulder. He turned. "Specs" McLaughlin of the detective bureau. "Specs" rubbed his chin contemplatively and smiled. "Know that guy?" "Who?" "No; just bumped into him. How come?"
Come on, let's have some lunch." The two disappeared toward the dining car, but Clark did not stir. His eyes, which were gray and keen, still fixed themselves contemplatively on the ragged wilderness. His lips were pressed tight, his jaw slightly thrust out. Water rights industries unlimited power land for an industrial city; all this and much more seemed to hurl itself through his brain.
"Oh, but you will;" and Barry rang the bell and had the wine brought. "And you expect she'll have another attack to-morrow?" "That's a matter of course, Mr Lynch; the fever'll come on her again to-morrow. Every attack leaves her weaker and weaker, and we fear she'll go off, before it leaves her altogether." "Poor thing!" said Barry, contemplatively. "We had her head shaved," said the doctor.
After a few more casual words the super left, and Hanlon sank back onto his favorite lounging place, thinking very seriously and contemplatively about this whole matter. Again he had run into that thought about someone called "His Highness," but never any indication as to who the man was, or what position he occupied.
His men had held that terrace twenty-four hours earlier; now they had vanished as if they had never been, save for the testimony of the trampled grass. In their place a solitary figure sat on a baluster drinking smoke contemplatively from a pipe of clay.
As we stepped about cautiously, seeking to engage again, his eye was fixed on mine curiously, half contemplatively, but utterly without concern or fear of any kind. I never saw an eye like his. It gave me not fear, but horror! The more I encountered him, the more uncanny he appeared.
Archie watched her contemplatively, as if she were a beaker full of chemicals working. A few years ago, when she used to sit there, the light from under his green lampshade used to fall full upon her broad face and yellow pigtails. Now her face was in the shadow and the line of light fell below her bare throat, directly across her bosom.
Now, Peters had marked the gathering as one that suited his purpose exactly, so he gave the conversation the right twist. "I suppose you local gentlemen have been greatly disturbed by this sensational murder?" he said. Hobbs took refuge in a glass of beer. Siddle gazed contemplatively at his neat boots.
