"That is authoritative?" "You can quote me, if you like, though I'd rather nothing were published, of course. And I give you my personal word that it's true." "That's quite enough." "So much for publication. What follows is private: just between you and me." Banneker nodded. After a ruminative pause Densmore asked an abrupt question. "You found my sister after the wreck, didn't you?"
On the center-table, cheap magazines; on the stage, vaudeville these are habits that sap the ability for slow, ruminative pleasure in the arts. Luckily, they are not the only modern manifestation, else were we in a parlous state, indeed! The trouble with Scott, then, may be resolved in part into a trouble with the modern folk who read him.
'P'raps, now and then, there's some honest people as likes it, observed Mr. Weller, in a ruminative tone, 'but I never heerd o' one as I can call to mind, 'cept the little dirty-faced man in the brown coat; and that was force of habit. 'And who was he? inquired Mr. Pickwick. 'Wy, that's just the wery point as nobody never know'd, replied Sam. 'But what did he do?
He guaranteed to free himself from his Teutonic engagements and alliances in time to join the Guardian by the first of January. Suave and profound, with his grave glance suggesting unutterable depth, he bowed himself out of the presence of Mr. Wintermuth and the other directors. And the ruminative elevator carried to the street level the best satisfied man in New York.
Her head high, her eye ruminative, she had looked on it all as one quite detached from possible consequences. The little parasol did not change its angle. Only, quite deliberately, she had relinquished the ribbon by which she held on her hat, and had placed her slender hand steadyingly on the side of the vehicle.
Not in the least." Violet glanced down at her book, a little ruminative smile curving the corners of her red mouth. Olga peered at the volume. "What is it? Something respectable for once?" "Not in the least. It is French and very highly flavoured. I daresay you wouldn't understand it, dear," said Violet. "You're such an ingénue." Olga made a grimace.
Kingozi was too restless, too stirred, to sit still. After a vain attempt to smoke a quiet and ruminative pipe he arose and began to wander about. The men looked up at him furtively from their little fires where perpetually meat roasted. He strode on through the camp. His feet bore him to the narrow lane leading to the village.
Here was a theme for a sermon from the patriarch, who now leaned upon his hoe and shook his head with a slow ruminative motion, as if he hoped by this action to disengage from it some profound moral reflections, and then began to enumerate how many of these good people he had helped to bury; but before he had well begun this discourse we had turned away and were about leaving the place, when he recalled us by saying, "I have got one tombstone yet to show you, as soon as I can clear it off with the hoe: it belongs to old Master Rousby, who was stobbed aboard ship, and is, besides that, the grandest tombstone here."
He was no what-you-may-call-it good as a pilot, shouted Marmaduke to the ruminative cow, and he intended to leave the blank R.F.C. for the Blanky Army Service Corps or the blankety Grave-diggers Corps. As a last resort, he would get a job as a double-blank Cabinet Minister, being no blank-blank good for anything else. The Brass Hats gazed and gazed and gazed.
"Do you know, it's rather a pity you don't like me," said Hal, with ruminative frankness. "I think I could use some of that religion of yours." "Not on the market," returned Ellis shortly. "You see," pursued the other, "it's really my own money I've put into this paper: half of all I've got." "How much did you pay for it?" inquired Ellis: "since we're telling each other our real names."
