The first who presents himself is the ruminative hermit already mentioned a species of uninspired Thoreau. His name was Benjamin Lear. So far as his craziness went, he might have been a lineal descendant of that ancient king of Britain who figures on Shakespeare's page. Family dissensions made a recluse of King Lear; but in the case of Benjamin there were no mitigating circumstances.
Her tone was ruminative. "There's no real sense in that, you know. Why shouldn't I carry wood when I am perfectly able to do it? Your objection is purely an acquired one a manifestation of the herd instinct." There was a slight pause. Professor Spence was wondering if he had really heard this. "W what was that you said?" he asked cautiously. Desire laughed.
Tredgold. Mr. Stobell, whose habit was taciturn and ruminative, fixed his dull brown eyes on the ground and thought it over. "I believe it's all my eye and Betty Martin," he said, at length, quoting a saying which had been used in his family as an expression of disbelief since the time of his great-grandmother. "He comes in to see me when I'm hard at work and drops hints," pursued his friend.
Indefatigably he worked on, and the work had to be its own reward. He was busy in the usual way this afternoon, as he sat on the bed, coatless, a trade journal open on his knees. His wife never disturbed him; she was a placid, ruminative woman, generally finding the details of her own weekly budget quite a sufficient occupation.
There was gentle laughter and the three below kept their heads tilted upward. "I think I shall tell you the story of my education," continued Maury, "under these sardonic constellations." "Do! Please!" "Shall I, really?" They waited expectantly while he directed a ruminative yawn toward the white smiling moon. "Well," he began, "as an infant I prayed. I stored up prayers against future wickedness.
The packer was a taciturn inhabitant of the wilds who seldom indulged in an unnecessary remark. There was, however, no moroseness about him; the man was good-humored in his quiet way, and his usual ruminative calm was no deterrent from apparently tireless action.
They found the chicken-coop once more right side up, and everything ship-shape. Percy promptly asked where Olga was. I pointed her out to him, breast-high in the growing wheat. She looked like Ceres, in her big, new, loose-fitting blue waist, with the noonday sun on her yellow-gold head and her mild ruminative eyes with their misted sky-line effect. She always seems to fit into the landscape here.
There was not the faintest sign of disappointment in his bearing. He looked merely ruminative. Nick was thoughtful also. He sat and watched his man fasten his gaiters with those flickering eyes of his that never seemed to concentrate upon one point and yet missed nothing. "What are you going to do about Hunt-Goring?" he asked suddenly. "Do about him?" Max sounded supremely contemptuous.
They came slowly, and finding the rooms all filled considered themselves absolved from a disagreeable duty, and went back to the sunny side of the haystack, where they smoked their pipes in ruminative enjoyment. The Elder, upon entering, took his place beside the coffin, the foot of which he used for a pulpit on which to lay his Bible and his hymn-book.
And when the mayor concluded, Dibbott did not move but began to rumble in a deep, throaty, ruminative voice something that sounded like one hundred and thirty thousand dollars at six per cent. On his way back to the office, Filmer saw Bowers' lean figure across the street. He crooked a masterful finger. "Come here!" The lawyer came over very deliberately and the two went on together.
