Since they could not content themselves anywhere else, they remained there until it should be time for them to call, still speculating as to what their good-fortune was to be, and wishing the minutes would pass more quickly.

They talked as they rode, lowly, earnestly planning the night's work, speculating upon the probable outcome of the raid upon the Circle L by the men under Slade. When they reached the edge of the big valley and concealed themselves in the fringing brush, they saw that Slade and his men had already struck.
As he was standing on the rude platform, musing over the events which had taken place in his journey thus far, and speculating as to the probable result of his chase after an individual who had seemed, phantom-like, to have eluded his grasp at every point.

Before she looked up Keith had leisure to note the poise of her head and shoulders, the fine long lines of her figure, and the arched-browed serenity of her eyes.
