"How often we defend cases," ruminated his partner, "where the complainant is just as bad as the prisoner at the bar if not worse." "And of course," added Tutt, "you must admit there are a lot of criminals who are criminals from perfectly good motives. Take the man, for instance, who thrashes a bystander who insults his wife the man's wife, I mean, naturally."
"No," smiled Carrados. "It's quite right." "Then it's a funny business, sir you what are blind expecting to find something that those with their eyes couldn't," ruminated Hutchins sagely. "There are things that you can't see with your eyes, Hutchins." "Perhaps you are right, sir. Well, what is it you want to know?"
For weeks and weeks Domenico ruminated over the subject. And little by little the logical, inevitable answer dawned upon his horrified but determined mind. For what was the sacrifice which witches and warlocks notoriously offered their Master? The place could not be better chosen.
For the garde spoke in a lower tone than the commissaire, and was a trifle shorter and walked behind him. The commissaire was polished, important, fluent; he consulted himself, ruminated, talked to himself, and smacked his tongue; the garde was deferential, attentive, pensive and observing, and would utter an exclamation from time to time and scratch his nose.
And Herb "finished 'em up" while they both ruminated on the incomprehensible vagaries of fate. "We've got to go over and see 'em do it," declared Jimmy. "Right you are," returned his chum. "I won't believe it till I see it with my own eyes."
Then he lifted the body, stood it on its feet against the chimney, and ruminated as to where he should lodge his mate for the night, not noticing that the shorter sheet of bark had slipped down on the boots and left the face exposed. "I spect I'll have ter put yer into the chimney-trough for the night, Brummy," said he, turning round to confront the corpse.
"Say, Sunny," broke in Baker, "how many you got rounded up now?" "There are at present twenty-one earnest proselytes." "At fifty a head and you've got to feed and keep 'em somehow even three dried prunes cost you something in the long run" ruminated Baker. He turned briskly to the mulatto: "Sunny, on the dead, where does the graft come in?"
Even now, fate's coils may be closing about his doomed life." Esther was very pale, but made no reply. There was to Sir Donald a most decisive leaning toward prompt action in an emergency. About many subjects he ruminated with speculative ease, but dallied little in matters affecting Esther's interests.
At all events one of these alleged exhibitions about the year 800 inspired the good Bishop Agobard of Lyons to write a book against superstition, in which he proved conclusively that it was impossible for human beings to rise through the air. Later, Roger Bacon and Leonardo da Vinci, each in his turn ruminated in manuscript upon the subject of flight.
That one glance carried him beyond the gate, but he suddenly spun round on his heel, collided with an indignant lady laden with parcels, and stared hard at Christopher. Christopher stared hard at him. Then the boy outside went on his way. "Jolly like Jim," he ruminated, "but a swell toff, I reckon. Poor little kid."
