You notice it will take considerable of a man to touch shoulders with me; I'm a head taller than most of them." Mrs. Jardine looked at her speculatively. "Ummm!" she murmured. Kate laughed. "For eighteen years I have been under marching orders," said Kate. "Over a year ago I was advised by a minister to 'take the wings of morning' so I took wing.
Almost, as she passed from room to room, through the different buildings, she wished she were staying right there as a year pupil. Amy introduced her to her closest friend, Peggy Barrows, a girl from South Dakota, who took them up to her quarters in one of the dormitories. "Dear me," Kit said, looking around her speculatively. "I wish I were going to live here.
Bud did not say anything, but he reached for the bottle, tilted it and swallowed three times before he stopped. "Gee!" whispered Frank, a little enviously. Bud glanced somberly across at Frank, who was sitting by the stove with his jaws between his palms and his hair toweled, regarding his guest speculatively. "I'm going to get drunk again," Bud announced bluntly.
In his own way Franks was in conflict with the problems of life; neither was he very able to encounter them; but on the other hand he was one to whom wonders might safely be shown, for he would use them not speculatively but practically.

It was all in the game, and he was obligated to be truthful only to Mrs. Clephane. She looked at him contemplatively, trying to read behind his words. "What is it, Madeline?" he asked.

But I did decide that that was the only probable conclusion from the facts that were given.
"The roustabout, the poor fellow that I've got the ten dollars for, the good fellow, if I don't mistake, who saved the books and the contents of the safe!" exclaimed Bart. "Actually, I had forgotten all about him for the moment." Bart stood still thinking, looking around speculatively, his fingers mechanically touching the bank note in his pocket which Mr. Leslie had given him in trust.
They walked along in silence for several minutes, staring speculatively at Master Chitten. His appearance was pleasant and not remarkable. He was a handsome, dark little boy, with quick eyes and a precociously reserved expression; his air was "well-bred"; he was exquisitely neat, and he had a look of manly competence that grown people found attractive and reassuring.
And he would have been no end amazed and bristling with defence had he glimpsed the astonishing fact that Gloria already fully and clearly meant to parade him before her summer friends as her latest and most virile admirer. Gratton's heavy-lidded pale eyes trailed over her speculatively.
Again, from some unknown, undiscoverable place, came the liquid, baffling, mysterious note of the nesting upland plover, sweet and clean as pure white honey. Now and again a band of antelope swept ghostlike across a ridge.
