Once or twice, he had roughly pushed the dog away, but, when he had finished the work and seated himself from sheer fatigue on the veranda steps, Veno came and squatted beside him, the dog's head upon his knee. He filled his pipe and smoked ruminatively; the exertion had had one good effect; it had dulled the fierceness of his pain.
"He sent her violets last night, and this morning, when we were taking all her flowers out of the bathtub, and looking at the cards, she gave me such a funny little grin and said, 'I'll thank the gentleman for these myself, Rose! Ted and I roared at her." "But that was dear," said Ann, romantically. "She simply does what she likes with Dad," said Ted, ruminatively.
"You ought to know," said Mr. Shackford, ruminatively. "A thing as good as a mint must be a good thing." "If I were a partner in the business, I could marry Margaret." "Who's Margaret?" "Mr. Slocum's daughter." "That's where the wind is! Now how much capital would it take to do all that?" inquired Mr. Shackford, with an air of affable speculation. "Three or four thousand dollars, perhaps less."
Agathemer broke off two fragments of the bread and we munched ruminatively. We had hardly swallowed three mouthfuls when Agathemer exclaimed: "Just in time! I can hear the arrows already! Listen!"

"I will give you ten gold for them." Ha! Now they were getting somewhere. Ten gold!
Then he inherited a fortune and made another one on Wall Street, where I imagine he came across Dreadnought Phipps. What happened I don't exactly know," he went on ruminatively.
"You have just missed the afternoon express," went on Bart. "Yes, Lem Wacker said I would." "What has he got to do with it?" asked Bart. "Why, nothing, I gave him a lift down the road, and he told me that." The driver departed. Bart stood so long looking ruminatively at the trunk that Darry Haven finally nudged his arm. "Hi! come out of it," he called. "What's bothering you, Bart?"
He would stand for a moment at the front of the store, balancing airily from toe to heel, and glancing about from shelf to bin and back again in a large, speculative way. Then he would begin to walk slowly and ruminatively about, his shrewd little German eyes appraising the stock.
For I confess that with all my forty years' experience of Law, I well, I don't think I should ever have thought of it!" "Oh, I don't know," said Mr. Tertius, modestly. "I well, I looked and then, of course, I saw. That's all!" Mr. Halfpenny sat down and put his hands on his knees.
