The two pair of eyes rested meditatively on the unconscious little sister, again lost to her surroundings in the construction of her twenty-third mud pie. Not even the surrender of her fortune beguiled her from this unleavened joy of the simple life. "We've made her do 'mos' everything, I guess," admitted Grace Margaret, with evident reluctance. It appeared so, indeed.
Even if papa were rich enough to buy it, Mr. Granger would never sell the Court." "Sell it!" repeated Lady Laura, meditatively; "well, perhaps not. One could hardly expect him to do that a place for which he has done so much.
She looked meditative, and Hewet, who had been talking much at random and instinctively adopting the feminine point of view, saw that she would now talk about herself, which was what he wanted, for so they might come to know each other. She looked back meditatively upon her past life. "How do you spend your day?" he asked. She meditated still.
I know you didn't," said Helena serenely; "but you might have and he isn't innocent a bit. He's as complex as you make 'em. Most women are in love with him, except me!" The brown eyes stared meditatively out of window. "I suppose I could be if I tried. But he doesn't attract me. He's too old." "Old?" repeated Mrs. Friend, with astonishment. "Well, I don't mean he's decrepit!
"But I really don't see much difference. The same thing is said, only in the one case it is a command and in the other it is an impelling suggestion." "Isn't that rather a great deal of difference?"

"Ah, Dunwoodie good evening!" he said. But he did not go back, and Dunwoodie looked after him meditatively and then went back into the bar, shaking his head. He had always meant to make a friend of Harboro, but the thing evidently was not to be done. Harboro was scarcely conscious of the fact that he crossed the river.
The faint, far barking of a dog, or an occasional subdued murmur from the river shallows, audible only when the wind rose slightly, helped to intensify their solitude. So supreme had it become that when the man at the window at last continued his conversation meditatively, with his face towards it, he seemed to be taking all Nature into his confidence.
"Forty-two Cadogan Square, I might be tempted. I came out as a mimic, you know, at Corsher and Byall's in Philadelphia." Miss Schley gazed reflectively upon the brown carpet of Mrs. Wolfstein's boudoir. "Folks said I wasn't bad," she added meditatively. "I think I ought to warn Viola," said Mrs. Wolfstein. She was peculiarly intimate with people of distinction when they weren't there.
"Yet," rejoined Paul, almost meditatively, "you must have been here some minutes at least before I arrived." "I tell you," said Boris, almost earnestly, "that I found nothing." "That is to say," said Paul, "nothing which you could turn to your own good account." Boris smiled a sour yet demure little smile. "Precisely," he said evenly.
Archie moved to the door. "Oh, by the way." "Yes?" "If I were you, I think I should catch the very first train you can get to New York. You see er you ought to take Percy to the vet. as soon as ever you can." "You really do think of everything," said Miss Silverton. "Yes," said Archie, meditatively.
