The three of you eat supper, lots of supper. Billy arises first, filling his pipe. He hangs water over the fire for the dish-washing. You and Dick sit hunched on a log, blissfully happy in the moments of digestion, ruminative, watching the blaze. The tobacco smoke eddies and sucks upward to join the wood smoke.
"I talk with a good deal of confidence," she went on, with a cheerless, ruminative little laugh, "because it is my own organization that I am describing, too. The difference is that I was allowed to exploit my capacity for mischief very early. I had my own way in my teens my own money, my own power of course only of a certain sort, and in a very small place. But I know what I did with that power.
Further inquiries, however, led me to the bridge at Brentford, whence starts that almost unknown system of inland navigation which extends to Manchester and Birmingham. Here I accosted at a venture a ruminative bargee. "Tom Blake?" he repeated, reflectively. "Oh! 'e's been off this three hours on a trip to Braunston. He'll tie up tonight at the Shovel." "Where's the Shovel?"
"Say! gents, I'm no spring rooster, but this jest gits away with anything in line of cold I ever see." While this communication was being received in ruminative silence, Steve was holding his ears in his hand and gazing at the intent champions at the board.
"And may I ask why you should come to me?" Mr. Tutt had demanded severely from behind the stogy, which even at that early date had been as much a part of his facial anatomy as his long ruminative nose. "Why the devil should you come to me? I am nobody, sir nobody! In this great city certainly there are thousands far more qualified than I to further your professional and financial advancement."
His features are striking a big nose, heavy, grizzled mustache, bushy brows emphasizing eyes blue and kindly, a wide mouth, tobacco-stained, with a constant movement of the jaws bovine, but shrewdly ruminative. A leonine head of shaggy white hair crowns the whole. Ridley, the private secretary, is about the same age.
There is a debate in your mind on the matter, isn't there?" The other lady, tall, slender, gently ruminative once more, stood at the window and with bowed head looked down at the lake. "Yes I suppose it might be called that," she replied, in a low voice. "And you hesitate to tell me about it? You would rather not?" Celia, after an instant's pause, went on without waiting for an answer.
Bronson Perkins, a cousin of mine, a big, silent, ruminative lad who had long hung about Susie, stood no show at all. One night in county-fair week, Susie, who had gone to the fair with a crowd of girl friends, was not at home at ten o'clock.
The central chair supported the large presence of "Judge" Fulsom, who was dispensing both information and tobacco juice. "The practice of the legal profession," said the Judge, after a brief period devoted to the ruminative processes, "is full of surprises."
Her voice became half-absent-minded, ruminative, as though she were thinking aloud. "They caught me young, too," she murmured. "Oh, that was a long time ago. Not measured in years, measured in time. There's a difference. "A mission-school got hold of me. Good women, not brainless velvet pets from the younger set, looking for a new sensation. Good women, sincere women that wanted to help.
