He was playing poorly that morning playing inattentively with his eyes always waiting for the hands to indicate that hour which was most likely to herald the arrival of the advance guard of the crowd of regulars.
Easter, 1899. Rome took hold of me again as usual, yesterday, bicycling near Porta S. Sebastiano. The Arch of Drusus was surrounded by a band of Cookites, listening inattentively to their Bear Leader; and the whole Via Appia, to beyond Cecilia Metella, was alive with cabs and landaus.
This business of Houck ain't gonna help any. There's a big bunch of 'em over there in the hills now. They've been runnin' off stock from outlying ranches." "Sho! The Indians are tamed. They'll never go on the warpath again, Blister." "J-just once more, an' right soon now." The justice gave his reasons for thinking so, while Bob listened rather inattentively.
I have resided in many countries, and almost always as a soldier; and then, I have spent a long period of my life in the country. I am almost a savage." "You do not like your residence in England, I fear." "I scarcely know," said Raoul, inattentively, and sighing deeply at the same time. "What! you do not know?"
"Well, mistress, you are a bold one, I must say!" commented Dinah that night by the kitchen fire, where Mrs Bosenna enjoyed a chat and, at this season of the year, a small glass of hot brandy-and-water, with a slice of lemon in it, before going to bed.

A little group of men was assembled round one of the tables, and a woman of perhaps five-and-thirty leant with her elbows on the counter. All the men were armed with rifles, and the barrel of a gun peeped above the counter. They were all listening idly, inattentively, to a cheap, metallic-toned gramophone that occupied a table near at hand.

Few people see what they see, or hear what they hear; that is, they see and hear so inattentively and superficially, that they are very little the better for what they do see and hear.
Addison must be the judge in what regards himself, and seems to have no very just one in regard to me, so I must own to you I expect nothing but civility from him." In the same letter he mentions Philips, as having been busy to kindle animosity between them; but in a letter to Addison he expresses some consciousness of behaviour, inattentively deficient in respect.
