"Ye allers was a funny gal, Tessibel," ruminated Mrs. Longman. "Now Ezy says that yer takin' a likin' to such things as toads, lizards and snakes, shows as how ye needs some one to help ye. God'll make ye a happy mother if ye'll keep yer nose low in the air, and not think too much of yer betters." Ezra, then, had told his mother of the student. A frown deepened on the girl's brow.
Above the house to the back was a dense plantation, the roots of whose trees were above the level of the chimneys. The corresponding high ground on which Grace stood was richly grassed, with only an old tree here and there. A few sheep lay about, which, as they ruminated, looked quietly into the bedroom windows.
When the two men went away I ruminated over what they had said, and I laid up several points for my own use. I was especially glad to hear them praise other traveling men. It's a mighty good sign of any man to find him generous in his praise of others. I thought this all over as I started down the street to find Shull & Cox and try to sell them 100 bull-dogs.
I have scarcely exaggerated a detail of this curious and absurd adventure. It occurred almost exactly as I have stated it. We actually went into camp in a snow-drift in a desert, at midnight in a storm, forlorn and hopeless, within fifteen steps of a comfortable inn. For two hours we sat apart in the station and ruminated in disgust.
"Why, of course. Oh, David, you do ask so many questions!" "Everything has to be made," he ruminated. She agreed, absently. David put his spoon down, deeply interested. "Who made God? another god, higher up?" "I think," she said, "that I'll send word I have a headache!" David sighed, and gave up theological research, "Dr.
Peter walks through this house at all hours; you can't wash your hair or do a little ironing without having Peter under your feet; he borrows money from me; he bullies Hong about wasting butter " "Also you borrow money from me, my child, don't forget that," Peter interrupted serenely, peeling an apple. "I don't come to see YOU, Alix." "I have a rope somewhere " the doctor ruminated.
"I ain't discovered any," came dryly from Zenas Henry. "We've all had a whack at the thing Captain Jonas, Captain Phineas, Captain Benjamin, an' me an' we're back where we were at the beginnin'. Nothin' we've tried has worked." "U m!" ruminated Willie, stroking his chin. "I've about come to the conclusion we ain't much good as mechanics, anyhow," went on Zenas Henry with a short laugh.
Call and answer were complete, and no doubt remained. "I judge that it's Saplin' who answered," ruminated Shif'less Sol. "He always did hev a hoot that's ez long ez he is, an' them wuz shorely long." "I think, too, that it was Long Jim," said Henry, "and he'll come straight for us. In five minutes I'll send out the cry again, and maybe another will answer."
And I wanted to think over the little fact, which Chappy had let fall, that certain ladies called me the "Gem." I chewed a blade of grass and ruminated. That flattering little disclosure balanced the weight of Fillet's dislike. I wished it could be brought to his knowledge; and I imagined conversations in which he was told.
You have been doing in the past few days all the left-over jobs which should have been attended to since warm weather began. Once you get clear of legacies from the past you'll find a day's work can be done in much less than a day and will neither exhaust nor weary you. Now what can I do to make you as comfortable as possible?" He had sat down and had motioned me to be seated also. I ruminated.
