Seeking to pluck inspiration out of the air, his roving eye fell upon the dappled rump of Mittie May as she stood in her stall placidly munching provender, and with that, bang! inspiration hit him spang between the eyes. To look on her, ruminative, ewe-like, fringed of fetlock and deliberate in her customary amblings, you would never have reckoned Mittie May to be a mare with a past.
'I never knew, said Sam, fixing his eyes in a ruminative manner upon the blushing barber, 'I never knew but vun o' your trade, but HE wos worth a dozen, and wos indeed dewoted to his callin'! 'Was he in the easy shaving way, sir, inquired Mr. Slithers; 'or in the cutting and curling line? 'Both, replied Sam; 'easy shavin' was his natur', and cuttin' and curlin' was his pride and glory.
Don't we want to do something a big thing, too that will be a credit to ourselves and a real adornment to our city?" Jeremiah puckered up his mouth and slowly blinked his little red eyes. "I've had one or two of those young painter fellows after me lately," he said in ruminative tone, as he picked at the green baize of his desk-top.
He hurried away towards the entrance gate, and Cotherstone, after ruminative inspection of the new carts, glanced at some papers in his hand and went over to a consignment of goods which required checking. He was carefully ticking them off on a list when a clerk came down the yard. "Mr. Kitely called to pay his rent, sir," he announced. "He asked to see you yourself."
Quisanté sat puffing at a cigar and looking straight at him with observant searching eyes. "Anything against him, eh?" asked Foster in a ruminative tone. "They've been ready enough to ask where I come from, and how I live, and so on." "They know all that about Sir Winterton, you see, sir." "Yes, confound them."
The ninth century saw Saracen invasion, and then it was, no doubt, that the second religious house under Mons Moscius perished from its place. Thinking over this, I walked away from the cave and climbed again to the railway; my friends also were silent and ruminative.
"There are things up here even more interesting than your Edmonton formation," he remarked. "But I was born a Quaker, you see, and I can't get rid of my self-control!" "I like you for that," I rather depressed him by saying. "For I find that one accepts you, Peter, as one accepts a climate. You're intimate in your very remoteness." Peter looked at me out of a rueful yet ruminative eye.
The evening after, as Susan was snapping out her dish-towels, she spied her neighbor meandering back and forth among the clover blossoms. Later she observed her standing ruminative and ruminating, so to speak at the fence. There was always a potent suggestion in Mrs. Lathrop's pose, as she leaned and waited, which vastly accelerated Miss Clegg's after-dinner movements.
She put her head in the kitchen door only long enough to say that she was not hungry, and went upstairs to fling herself on her bed, grateful for silence and solitude at last. To Jim the world was turned upside down. He could hardly credit his senses. His was not a quick brain; processes of thought with him were slow and ruminative; he liked to be alone while he was thinking.
Brett surveyed the privileged classes on the hearth-rug with a ruminative eye. "Are you proposing to add yet another to your collection of dogs?" he inquired with some amusement. "You must pay over quite a young fortune to the Government every year in the shape of dog-licenses." Lady Susan smiled deprecatingly. "Well, I really didn't intend to add to their number just at present," she admitted.
