absently

But the big man looked down at him almost absently.

Part of it was the way he moved, she thought absently.

He did it absently; his attention was all on me.

She nodded absently, and read as he went into his own office.

She spoke a little absently but her voice was serious.

Got up, walked to the window and looked out absently.

Absently he lifted a hand to the side of his head.

She spoke absently, with no deep interest in the subject.

More interesting up close than from a distance, she thought absently.

He lifted his hand absently as a woman tried to near the table.

He took one long look around before absently pulling out a book.

Absently, he saw one of his arms fall to the stone floor.

She wondered, absently, if he had yet found his wife and children.

He absently held her hand, and she did not seem to notice it, either.

"Thank you," she said absently, without so much as looking at me.

Absently, he began to eat the food from the plate.

Only ran a hand over his head absently while she picked up a book with the other.

Almost absently he said, "Later, all may be made known to you."

He stared absently at it for a moment, then turned away.

Then he turned to leave the room, wondering absently how many other things they had got wrong.

He sat for a time staring absently in front of him.

Almost absently she stretched out a hand to him and he took it.

She did not look up but spoke absently, her mind following its own train of thought.

He spoke the words absently; his mind had already moved on to another subject.

He went upstairs, came down two hours later, and absently tried to walk past me.
