He fell asleep, in a kind of ruminative growl: "Made a fool of myself babbling about what I remembered what I thought! I'll go back to Washington in the morning." Judge Wilton's unsteady voice, supplemented by a rattling of the doorknob, roused him. He had thrust one foot out of bed when Wilton came into the room. "Quick! Come on, man!" the judge instructed, and hurried into the hall.
"Good gracious!" "Fact. But come up to the roost changing taxis to-morrow at five and have tea." Down in the street Cutty bore into the slanting rain, no longer a drizzle. With his hands jammed in his side pockets and his gaze on the sparkling pavement he continued downtown, in a dangerously ruminative frame of mind, dangerous because had he been followed he would not have known it.
Yet it was not exactly a stare; it was too thoughtful, too ruminative, too unconscious for that. "Let's walk back together. You've had a look at the place already perhaps?" "It's very beautiful." "Yes," he assented absently, as they began to walk.
The tendency to ruminative loitering, which those who saw him abroad always associated with his tall, spare figure, was not suggested today. He moved forward like a man with a purpose.

She glanced at his round, innocuous face, with the downy mustache and ruminative eyes, and smiled irrepressibly. Then her own face grew grave. "I wonder! You see, Mr. North, it isn't all like a movie; there's an element of uncertainty that keeps a man quick on the trigger. I was living with friends at the Casa de Limas, as your father told you.
He was gloomy, ruminative, and broke out now and again with futile manifestations of his disaffection.
