"There, I must hustle or Dolores will put red pepper in the eggs." Polly stared at the photograph. It was of a tall, slender woman, with large dark eyes, and obviously of a personality distinctly pleasing. She had, even in the photograph, an air of vitality which accounted for Mrs. Van's comment. "And he looks like the sort of man who would stay single for a woman," she said, pensively.
"It is in my thoughts," said Black Simon, still pensively grinding his sword, "that we may have need of your strings ere sundown. I dreamed of the red cow last night." "And what is this red cow, Simon?" asked Alleyne.
"I am afraid there are more than six years between us, Barbara," I said pensively. Barbara regarded me closely with large round eyes. "About ten, I fink. I'm seven, you know." "How nice of you to say that, Barbara. Then I'm only seventeen." Barbara regarded me still more closely. "A little more, p'waps ten monfs." "Thank you, Barbara. I'll remind you of that some day."
I sat mournfully on the counter after father left me, my head reclining pensively against a pile of ten-cent calicoes; I was thinking of my grandmother's legacy gone up in smoke of how Belle looked when she found I had conducted her into the coal-cellar of those tidies, cradle-quilts, bib-aprons, dolls' and ladies' fixings, which had been nefariously foisted upon me, a base advantage taken of my diffidence! and I felt sad.
Two young girls, amid the fading light, with the rich warm blood of young womanhood in their cheeks, and its latent emotions sending a softened light into their eyes, with their arms about each other's waists, were pensively walking out of the dusky woods to the open fields, with a little ripple and murmur of voices, like the liquid pearls of a brook. They had been speaking of the young lawyers.
That the lady started at this unexpected sound was evident, by her falling up against the rushlight shade; that she persuaded herself it must have been the effect of imagination was equally clear, for when Mr. Pickwick, under the impression that she had fainted away stone-dead with fright, ventured to peep out again, she was gazing pensively on the fire as before.
Eleanor at any rate was doing her best. She had brought out her newest gowns and Lucy was submissively putting them on one after the other. Eleanor was in pursuit first of all of some general conceptions. What was the girl's true style? what were the possibilities? 'When I have got my lines and main ideas in my head, she said pensively, 'then we will call in the maids.
"I have heard nothing, my friend, but cannon. I am from Sedan to-day." The man seemed to hesitate. He turned uneasily in his chair, glanced this way and that among the trees a habit acquired in the macquis, no doubt. He took off his hat and passed his hand pensively over his hair. Then he turned to Lory.
Having gained the summit of a hill, the pig, much exhausted, sat down on its hams, and gazed pensively at the ground. Bumpus took advantage of the fact, and also sat down on a stone to rest. "Wot a brute it is" said he to himself. "I'll circumvent it yet, though."
Whither was she bound? and what were the Indians going to do with her? Over and over again she vainly asked herself these questions as she gazed pensively out over the water. All through the morning they continued on their way, and only stopped once to rest and to eat a hurried meal. Then on again, hour after hour, with nothing to break the monotony of vast forests crowding to the very shores.
