"I think he's a scientist who never had any success

"I think he's crazy and we will die here unless we escape."

Maybe he blames someone for that, and I think he wants to hurt that person."

I could not think only of myself

Conseil loved the sea, but I did not think he wanted to live his life there

"Because I think I see it right there."

They'll think I'm stupid.'

She began to think about her friends

But I think you will like Dinah

Do you think at your age it is right?'

'I think I'll go and visit the March Hare?' said Alice

'Wednesday, I think,' she said.

'I don't think-' Alice began.

'Do you think I'm stupid?' Javert gave an unpleasant laugh

Marius was too much in love to think clearly

He moved away from the girl's touch and said, 'I think, Mademoiselle, that I have something belonging to you.' He handed her the parcel of letters.

Marius sat down and buried his face in his hands, too overcome by emotion to think clearly

Finally, he asked Marius for his door key and told him to go home and hide quietly in his room so that his neighbours would think he was out.

When you think it's getting dangerous, shoot one of these guns

What do you think it's worth?'

'There are moments when I think this is a dream

There are other moments when I think I'm a little mad

" That's what you think, isn't it? Well, my boy, you can do whatever you want

He could think of only one thing: his meeting later that evening with Cosette

Marius, I think I was a little bit in love with you.'

Javert glanced at the dead body and murmured, 'I think I know that girl

'Then, returning his attention to Valjean, he said calmly, 'I think you know me, too

There was no way out and, as all hope of escape left him, he began to think of Cosette.

You see, I'm not as unkind as you think

But there were more important things for Marius to think about

I don't think I could bear it..

But I think it would be better if you stopped seeing her.'

He did not return to the house again, and Cosette was too busy with married life to think too much about him

I think you'll be interested;

'The man you think is your wife's guardian is a murderer and a thief

Thenardier looked puzzled for a moment, then said, 'Monsieur, I think you are mistaken.'

This is the first thing that I think when I wake, and I look around nervously, confused by the dark and by the thick fog which surrounds me.

Is she my wife? My girlfriend? I think that she is, and I suddenly feel afraid for her

I think about the lump on the back of my head and the fresh blood on my fingers

The image I remember of Catherine tied to the grey stone is in less fog, and I think that it must be on higher ground.

I try not to think of anything but the direction I am moving in, but I am starting to remember things now

For a moment I think that I am dead and that Catherine is alone, tied to the grey stone in the fog

Is it the man with the dark eyes and dirty brown hair? Does he know I am here? Good! If he looks for me, he is not with Catherine, I think

In amazement, I think that I recognise this circle of ancient stones.

His hair is blond, his eyes light, and I think that this is not the man who has Catherine

At first, I think that maybe I am quick enough, but then I hear the snap of the gun and feel the explosion in my back.

We think she's his third victim this year."

I almost do not recognise the two men beside me, and I think that from a distance people cannot see that I am a woman.

"What do you think?" Robin asks, and he tells him to sit at one of the tables.

"You think you can just walk out of here?" Robin laughs

I think we must wait until tomorrow now."

And then the oar hits him on the head, and he cannot think, and he cannot swim, and the water takes him.

Sometimes he's so close that I think he can touch me, and other times he's far away, but I still know that he's there

And Detective, you might think that I'm crazy, but I know what this man wants..."

"You work in Leeds, but you don't drive? I think your sports car can get you there a lot faster than the bus to Keighley and then the train to Leeds."

And they watch me every day, and I think that they watch me at night too."

"You think that this man enters your premises? That he enters your cottage during the night?"

"I think you should tell me everything," he says, and he can see clearly now the guilt that fills her deep-green eyes

You know, I don't think he believes us about the salties."

"How? Do you think you can steal from me and escape? Gerry, you know me better than that."

After we eat, you will think this place is the best in the world.

But you can't think about that, he tells himself.

He needs to think clearly now

He needs to think like Nick.

He has no time to think, but he must

"Oh, I think I can look after myself," responds Eleanor, and again Carolina thinks what a sweet, lovely thing she is

For the summer perhaps." Then she is quiet, and the three men think how polite and gentle she seems

"You know, I think you're all correct

In fact, I have an idea for a story: an idea I think about occasionally."

"Okay, well, it's not my idea, and it's old, but I think it's great for a film

What do you think, Eleanor?"

Michael takes a moment to think about it and then nods

And in the low, romantic light of the ballroom they both think they see something strange on her back and neck

But no, it cannot be what they think it is.

"I think the judge needs to listen to this first," he says, and he looks back at the beautiful Mrs Dawson and sees that she is not sad now, and that she is not victorious, and not angry.

And for a few moments you are so afraid that you cannot think

So you listen, and you think that everything seems to be normal

You think that if you scream, someone will hear you.

And then you think of Sophie, your cat

It was just a bad dream, you think

My computer, you think

No reason for you to think that there is more than one burglar

I need to wait for a few days until they think I'm miles from the city

Three thousand maybe? What do you think?" But there is no answer.

But you know, I think I can do that next time

Yes, I think I might have a lot more to confess tomorrow

But anyway, why think about it? Just drive; get a few more miles from the town, and from her.

Brandon tries not to think as he walks through the snow that reaches up to his waist

"What?" his brother said, his eyes full of anger: "You think I do? Idiot, we won't hurt anyone

I think she has family here, or maybe she comes from the area

"I don't think so," she says quietly.

"Who does he think he is? Just because he plays golf with the chief inspector

"No, it's not what you think

I think he hits the boys sometimes, but I can't prove it."

I can teach you a few things I think, West." And Smith nods to the workmen.

Can there be a finer place in Wales? I don't think so."

But Owen does not like to think about that too much

So he tries not to think about it.

He thinks there is someone or something moving, and it is big: bigger than a rabbit or a hare, but he does not think it can be a person

I think he probably cheated to get that too

They all think they can win

They all think they can cheat and beat the casino."

Did you hear that, Jimmy? So before I take this gag out of your mouth, and before you think about saying something stupid again, think about this

Did you really not think that we were watching you? We knew you were cheating

"Scare you? You think we want to scare you? Clive, let them out," he says.

She does not want to think about their conversation or the horrible reason why the tube is so quiet

She does not want to think about the stories in the newspapers

She does not want to think about what the police are calling the tube murders

"You think I'd forget?" he laughed

It's starting really soon - in a couple of weeks, I think."

"I think they're saying two years, at least," said Palo.

And you get to study, I think."

"I think it must be something for you to plant."

I think she must have followed me

"Wait a minute - you think your brother sent the fruit?"

"Do you think we'll ever be able to travel like you did?" Sala asked

Maybe it was silly to think so

they kind of make me think

So Cham probably needs to think about the future more carefully than you."

"Do you honestly think it came from outside?"

How wonderful to think that there might still be a different world out there - a world where you could do all those things for real!

She tried to think of something else instead

"Well, Gran doesn't seem to think so..."

would you think about doing it with me?"

"But I think it's like another world

We can think about it more clearly afterward."

"I think they want us to follow them!"

"If I didn't have you, I'd sign up for Pod Life, I think."

"I'll think about it

"Mom, I've been wondering what you think of this new thing, Pod Life

"I'd ask you to think about the things you love

We'd miss you terribly, and I think you'd miss us." Mom smiled

"I don't think you can depend on that, Gran," she said

For the next twenty-four hours, Sala tried to think clearly

"I know," said Cham, "but I think it's just stopping

"Also, I know you think it's crazy, but..

She ran until she was exhausted - too tired to think anymore.

I still smile when I think of all the fun we had as children, playing on the beach and in the forest

Here, we are free, and we have beauty all around us, but my heart breaks when I think of you trapped in that city, like a bird in a cage.

We think we can trust them, but we know that this letter could put you in danger

"We need to think about this." Mom pointed to the letter

"I think we need to be cautious," said Gran

Cham was enthusiastic, but he didn't seem to think the news had anything to do with him

What more could she say? Cham's number one consideration right now was his family, and she couldn't stand in the way of that; but she wished that he would at least think about other possibilities.

So the word 'passenger' describes you very well, don't you think?"

"We think it's quite generous," he said

Sala took a deep breath, and tried to think clearly

"So, Gran, what do you think?" she asked breathlessly, when she'd finished her story.

What do you think about that, Mom?"

We want to have them beside our beds, so we can think of you every night." Cham looked over at Sala apologetically

"I don't think she'll change her mind."

"Sala, I don't think you should see her anymore

That's how you've been taught to think."

She didn't know what to think anymore

"I think I could test this," she said

You know, I'm starting to think I might stay in for a while longer."

You should seriously think about joining me."

We have to report anything we think is strange

So, what do you think? How about coming to join me?"

"I'll think about it," said Sala, suddenly afraid of what else he might say.

"What do you think? Could the pod be doing something to him? Changing the way he thinks somehow?"

Sala walked in circles around the tiny Real Space, trying to think of a way forward.

"I think your mom and dad would miss you," Sala said to his sister

"But - don't you think he seems..

"I think the pod is like a drug

"Do you think we could have a few minutes to talk on our own, at the end of the hour?"

I should think so..." said Tian

"But how have they persuaded him to think like that?" asked Sala

"It seems that the pod is designed to change the way people think

"Let's think about this reasonably

"Do you think the rebels would hide us?" asked Mom

With her new strength of mind, she didn't think about the tears and hugs as she'd said goodbye

This, Gran had taught her, was what she must think of.

'At least, she did not think you were

'Important? Why does she think that I'm important?' de Winter asked.

'I think it's because of Manderley,' I said

Yes, I think so

'No,' I said, 'I don't think so.' I tried not to look at her.

'I think we could still catch it

I could not think clearly.

'I think I'll talk to her alone,' Maxim said

But I think you're making a big mistake.'

'I think you will be very comfortable there.'

'Well, what do you think?' Maxim said to me

I think you've done very well, Mrs Danvers.'

I think that some of the young servants are afraid of her.'

I think you'll like Beatrice

I think you know your way now, don't you?'

'What do you think of Manderley?' she asked me.

'What did you think of Beatrice?' Maxim asked me

'I think I did most of the talking,' I said

'Someone much smarter, I think

You wouldn't talk about it or even think about it.'

What must people think about me?

'Mrs de Winter, you mustn't think that,' said Frank, looking at me for the first time

Dear God, I did not want to think about Rebecca

'Anyone would think you were afraid of Mrs Danvers.'

'If you don't think we're happy, you must tell me,' I went on

You think I am not right for Manderley

'I think so,' Maxim answered

'I think you should come out,' I said

'What do you think of it? Aren't you lonely living here?'

'Do you think she can see us now?' Mrs Danvers asked me

'Do you think the dead watch the living?'

'Sometimes I think she watches you and Mr de Winter together,' Mrs Danvers whispered.

'No, I don't think so,' I said.

'I think he came to Manderley quite a lot when Rebecca was alive

'And I don't think anyone else has, either.'

'I think I rather like the idea,' I said with a smile.

They will think of me as the real Mrs de Winter at last

What does Mr de Winter think?'

'I think we ought to be getting ready.'

'What the hell do you think you're doing?' he said.

I could think of no other words.

'Where do you think he's gone?' I asked

Do you think his pain and unhappiness will bring Mrs de Winter back?'

How do you think I've felt, watching you sit in her place, using the things she used? I hear the servants calling you Mrs de Winter

I would not have to think about Rebecca any more...

'I think I'll stay here

"If I had a child, Max," she said, "Everyone would think it was yours

'They will think the boat sank when Rebecca went down into the cabin

They'll think she was trapped there

They'll think that, won't they, Maxim?' I said.

I don't think it will take very long

Don't you think so, Crawley?' the Colonel asked Frank.

Colonel Julyan thinks she was trapped in the cabin and the jury will think that too.'

'I think I shall stay here in the car,' I said

'Can you think why they are there?'

God, let me not think about it

Let me think about something else, anything...

'Why do they think Rebecca did that?'

'I think I had better see Mr Favell,' I said

I could not think why Favell had come.

Do you really think Rebecca killed herself after writing that note?'

Tell me whether you think the writer had decided to kill herself.' Colonel Julyan took the note and read it slowly.

What do you think really happened to Mrs de Winter?' Favell looked at Maxim.

'I'll tell you what I think,' he said slowly

I think I can find someone who saw him.'

'I think Ben can go home now, don't you, Colonel Julyan?' Maxim said

'Mrs Danvers,' Colonel Julyan said quietly, 'can you think of any reason why Mrs de Winter killed herself?'

'I don't think he would tell you anything,' Colonel Julyan answered

'I think de Winter should see him and explain.'

And I think I'd better go too

'I think you've made a mistake,' he said

You think you've won, but don't be too sure, I haven't finished with you yet.'

I don't think the papers will bother you any more

'Do you think Colonel Julyan knows the truth about Rebecca's death?' I asked Maxim as we were drinking our coffee.

She was miserable because she couldn't think of a way to reach him

At first, it had seemed terribly wrong that such a wonderful opportunity should come her way before she'd even had time to mourn her boy, as if the Fates were so shallow and insensitive as to think that they could balance the scales and offset Danny's death merely by presenting her with a chance at her dream job

She was able to think about the boy without crying, to visit his grave without being overcome by grief

In bed, again she snuggled in the covers and closed her eyes and tried not to think about the chalkboard

"You think so? Really?"

She was in such an excellent mood that she didn't think even the sight of his room would be able to bring her down, as it usually did

Fighting with Michael, coping with the shock of separation and divorce, grieving for Danny, and putting together the show with Joel Bandiri had filled her days and nights, so she'd had no chance to think of romance.

They would think she was just a foolish old woman

Vivienne Neddler refused to give anyone reason to think her a fool.

Her nose was so straight that some might think it was severe

in between all that popping in and out of Magyck! Do you think you'd have time for dinner?"

"I can't hear myself think."

Nah, I don't think it's his heart

They think they're being overcharged, and they argue with the desk clerks

"I think someone broke in."

"You think?"

She didn't think he was lying now

"I think they were just trying to upset me, scare me."

"You were wrong to think I'd come crawling back

It'll be a great promotion, don't you think?" She raised her hands, as if framing her next words, "The Golden Pyramid - a Magyck! Place for lovers."

I can't think of anyone I know who'd be capable of this sort of thing even if they did hate me enough to contemplate it

"I don't think the police would be much help

They probably won't think it's serious enough to waste their time

"So you think you're - what, sleepwalking? In your sleep, you're writing a rejection of Danny's death on his chalkboard?"

I'll admit I don't know you all that well yet, but I think I know you well enough to say you wouldn't react that way

Do you really think you're so far gone that you could do something like that and not remember it? Do you think you've got multiple personalities and one doesn't know what the others are up to?"

"I'm just trying to think how best to phrase what's on my mind

"I'm not going to think you're nuts," Elliot assured her

They didn't think it was a good idea for me or Michael to see it

But mainly I think they used dental records."

"See? You do think I'm crazy."

I think you're distraught, and that's understandable."

"You think he'll be able to do that?"

Perhaps it was too soon to tell for sure, but he was beginning to think that fate, in an uncharacteristic flush of generosity, had given him a second chance at happiness.

While Tina and Elliot had been joking in the kitchen, even before dinner had been completely prepared, she had begun to think they might go to bed together

"What do you think?"

Tina realized that she had been wrong to think that celibacy should be a part of her period of mourning

But Tina herself didn't think there was any serious danger, and Elliot tended to agree with her

He spent an hour and a half in his library, paging through legal casebooks, boning up on precedents for the exhumation of a body that, as the court had put it, "was to be disinterred in the absence of a pressing legal need, solely for humane reasons, in consideration of certain survivors of the deceased." Elliot didn't think Harold Kennebeck would give him any trouble, and he didn't expect the judge to request a list of precedents for something as relatively simple and harmless as reopening Danny's grave, but he intended to be well prepared

With all these attorneys, it's sort of a busman's holiday, don't you think?"

I'll call you this evening, after I've had a chance to think about it."

Bob shook his head in agreement, frowning, as if he was dismayed to think that he could be mistaken for a common thief.

Elliot's mind raced through a list of cases that his law firm was currently handling, searching for some connection with these two intruders, but he couldn't think of one.

He wanted them to think that guns didn't scare him

I think all the houses in this area have gas furnaces

"You really think you want to tangle with me, little man? Hell, my fist is just about as big as your head

"I don't think it's safe for you to stay here."

They think there might be a leak in this neighborhood."

She said, "My God, you don't think-"

"You don't think they'll actually start shooting at us?" Tina asked.

And I think they had a fake suicide planned for me

Smiling, Tom said, "I think the deposit might not turn out to be as refundable as you thought."

Obviously, it pleased Tom to think that people who could afford a Mercedes were not so smart after all

Or you can think of it as an important lesson this here Fitzpatrick fella taught you."

"What do you think?"

He said, "I think it's safe to leave."

I think he takes his job seriously

"We just need time to think about it, time to work out a plan

And now, just when I'm beginning to think I can face up to it and put it behind me, I discover he might not have died accidentally after all

"I think..

"Groucho Marx, I think."

I don't think anyone is."

He knew exactly what she meant, but he didn't want to think about it, because there was no way he could make sense of it

"Evidently they think someone from Project Pandora has decided to rat on them."

"But you don't think so."

"But I think it's more complicated than that

"You'd think it was even more amazing if you'd suffered those nightmares," she said

I think we'll have to take the story out of town, and before we do that, I'd like to have a few more facts."

"Well, they'd have had to be pretty stupid to think murder was the safest way to handle it

I think it would be wise for us to stay up there for a couple of days, even after we've talked to Bellicosti, until we can figure a way out of this mess

But before she could think of a way to phrase her odd request, the old man succeeded in unplugging the machine.

"What're you saying - that Danny reached out to you from the grave to cause that excitement in the restaurant? Tina, you really don't think his ghost was haunting a jukebox?"

I don't know how long they think they can keep him bottled up like this

they think someone involved with Project Pandora has turned on them and told me what really happened to Danny

"I can't think of a better explanation, but I'm not ready to accept yours

I don't think we do."

"Still think you can shoot my theory full of holes?" she asked.

What had happened to Danny might still prove to be terrible, shattering, but she didn't think it would be as hard to accept as his "death" had been

Evans turned, and Bruckster said, "I think maybe you dropped this back there."

"I think it's hopeless."

Oh, I know, I know, you don't think he'll show up

"You think he's licensed for instrument flying? Most businessmen-pilots and hobby pilots aren't certified for anything but daylight."

"Not as smart as I think I am."

See, I'm not as great as you think I am."

I still think you could have avoided issuing all those termination orders

I don't think we'd better rely on that carrot any longer."

And the coroner too, I think

I don't think it's a good idea to hit Stryker and the woman in a public place like an airport."

"I don't even think we should put a tail on them as soon as they get there," Alexander said

"You really think we should confront Bellicosti at this hour?" she asked.

"I think I can find it without any trouble

"I really don't think I want to hear your opinions on either subject," Dombey said

A warm, animal satisfaction rose in him, which was not an entirely welcome feeling, for he liked to think of himself as a civilized man

And I guess they were so sure of where we were headed, they didn't think it was necessary to keep a close watch on us

"We'll think of something."

"You think you can actually sleep?"

"Can you think of anything better?"

Yes, I think that's true."

"I don't think you do need or want them," Tina said

"I think..

What would the elder Alexander's, the famous statesmen, think if they knew he'd soiled his hands with blood? As for the fact that it was sometimes his job to order other men to kill, he supposed his family would understand

"I don't think so."

"He's going to try, I think

Tina stared at the map and tried to think of nothing but the appealing greens, blues, yellows, and pinks that the cartographers had used to indicate various types of terrain

She tried not to think about the chill

He looked at Elliot and said, "I don't think this spirit writing stuff is-"

"I'm still not convinced your dream meant what you think it did

Tina said, "Elliot, what happens if we stay here, hiding out until we can think of an alternative? How much time do we have? Not much

I don't think so

"What - you think the boy might be responsible for the changes in air temperature?"

"Hold it! I think this is what we're looking for."

He was trying hard not to think about the chopper, the bad weather, and the likelihood that they would take a long, swift, hard fall into a remote mountain ravine.

"You think Danny is on this floor?"

"Well, if you don't think I can, just sit back and listen

But I think maybe I can

"It's certainly something to think about," Morgan said

Tina was too busy with Danny to think about what Carl Dombey had said, but Elliot knew what the scientist meant

He wasn't scheduled for R and R, and on the spur of the moment he couldn't think of an excuse to sign out one of the Range Rovers, so he tried to escape on foot

The ghostly, slightly luminous winter landscape made George Alexander think of graveyards

"I think so," Dombey said

What sort of research do you think they might do then?"

If I can make them think that Zachariah was the one who spilled the secrets to you, if I can protect my position here, maybe I'll be promoted and have more influence." He smiled

She couldn't think what to say.

Was it one of the security people, or was it someone on the medical staff? I'd like to think it was a doctor, one of my own, who finally did the right thing."

The police said he killed himself, but I knew he was afraid to die, so I didn't think that was true.'

They think that there's nothing to worry about.'

'There'll be a lot of people in the streets, so I think that you'll be all right

'More than one man, I think

But now I think about it, you're quite right

'The doctors seem to think there is no hope of that,' I said.

'I really don't know, but 1 shouldn't think so

'I think that fly must have died long ago, Henri,' I said, getting up and walking to the door.

I must think and by then I will have typed out an explanation for you

You know the rest and can now do whatever you think right.

When it was burning, he said, 'I think it proves beyond all doubt that Madame Delambre was quite insane.'

Does he think I have stolen Church money? But now I must get on with preparing my sermon

Just think of the talk in the village.' She kissed me, and stepped through the open glass door into the garden.

'I think I did

'I think married ones are the worst.'

'Don't you think,' said my wife, 'that Miss Cram might just like having an interesting job?'

'You think the best of everyone.'

'But do you really think she is attracted to that boring old man?' Griselda said.

'Don't you think, Miss Marple,' I said, 'that problems may be caused by careless talk?'

'Len, do you really think I am having a romance with Lawrence Redding?'

'Miss Marple didn't think he was.'

When we reached her gate, she said, 'Please, come in and tell me what you think of my new home.'

No, I don't think anyone can help me.'

'Oh! Do you think I haven't thought about that again and again? I'm not a bad woman

'Haven't you thought,' I asked, 'that Lettice might think that, too?'

'I think you have made the right decision,' I said.

I've got to think.' And he began to run down the road.

'He's dead - he's been dead for half an hour, I think.'

'He has been dead just over half an hour, I think

'I think you ought to know...' I said.

Well, I suppose we all think we know

'Lawrence Redding? Now I didn't think...'

'Oh, but Vicar, you don't think that he is guilty?'

'I think I left it in the study.'

'I think, I'll go home and tell Anne that Lawrence has been arrested.' She went out of the French window again.

'What do you mean - what had just happened? When do you think Redding shot him?'

'Yes, I think there was a shot somewhere in the woods

At the end of the road, I think they were joined by Miss Cram

'I think Lettice thought so, too

'Oh, do you really think so?'

'Well, can you think of anyone else?'

I can think of at least seven people who might be very happy to have Colonel Protheroe dead.'

These scientists, they think a girl's a kind of machine

But do tell me, Mr Clement, what do the police think about the murder?'

'Ah! Then they don't think Lawrence Redding did it

I could think of no answer to this.

'Don't you think it would be a good idea if Mary was taught how to cook?'

So when you hear a shot, you naturally think it comes from there.'

But I think we should see Redding first.'

You can think of them yourself, I am sure.'

But I can't think of anyone else.'

'What do you think, Miss Marple?' asked Griselda.

No, Miss Marple didn't think it had been louder, just different

'It was awful of me to think you could have killed...'

'I suppose you think I was foolish?'

'I think I saw it on a shelf in his cottage.'

'You don't think it might be someone else wearing the gardener's boots?'

'Just think of the call as a joke, and don't worry, Mrs Price Ridley,' I said.

'A woman's, I think

'But which of those choices do you think would be your duty?'

When you get to my age, you will find that you like to think the best of people.'

'I don't think you are the best judge of that.'

'All I could think about was Anne-'

'But I always think it wise to suspect everybody just a little.'

'Can you think why Mrs Lestrange visited Protheroe after dinner on Wednesday night?'

And what do you think I saw?'

I only think about archaeology.'

'I think that is very unlikely,' I replied.

I don't think he has any idea that Lettice cares about him.'

'And I think the Inspector should be told about it.'

'He asked me if I wanted to find my husband's murderer, and I said, "Yes." And then he asked me whether I suspected anyone, and I said, "No." And then he said, did I think the person who committed the crime knew the village, and I said they certainly seemed to

Do you think I ought to tell the police about it?'

'But you know,' she sat up, 'unless the real murderer is found people will always think it was Lawrence

I think she knows something and I want to watch her.'

'You think she did it? But why?'

I couldn't think of an answer so I took the blue earring from my pocket

'I don't think it's rude at all

'You don't think it would be better to telephone?'

And I think we ought to find out for certain.' I went once more to the telephone and called Old Hall

'Do you really think he shot Colonel Protheroe?' I asked.

I have learned something that I think may be important

I think you ought to know.

Just because you're much older than I am, you think that I might like other men more than you.'

But I have heard of something that I think they should know about.'

'I think that you are wondering why I am so interested in this murder

And when there is a mystery and I think I know the answer, it is so satisfying to find that I am right.'

'Let us think about it again

'The first is that Colonel Protheroe was dead already, but I don't think that's likely

And I think one coincidence is all right

'So you really think that you know who killed Colonel Protheroe?' I asked.

They still think the 6.20 was written by someone else - but they're not sure.'

I think I recognized that voice.'

'I think so,' I said

'I think you should read this,' I said, and gave her Protheroe's unfinished letter

'Don't you think,' I said, 'that it might be better if Hawes didn't recover? We know the truth now and...'

'Of course! That's what he wants you to think! That you know the truth - and that it's best for everyone as it is

'That's what he wants you to think

I really think that for a moment we thought she had gone mad

It upset all my ideas and made me think he was not guilty - when up to then I had been sure that he was.'

'I did not think it was right to speak until now, because I still needed one more fact in order to explain what had happened

And I began to think of other people who might want Colonel Protheroe dead.'

It had made me think about the past romance between Lawrence and Griselda.

'There is, I think, something called a Maxim silencer

'It was the wrong sort of stone for my garden! And that made me think.'

So he came back here with Mr Hawes last night and, I think, managed to put some much stronger pills in Mr Hawes' box

When the poor young man was found dead and the letter was read, everyone would think that he had shot Colonel Protheroe and killed himself because he felt so guilty

In fact, I think that Mr Hawes must have found that letter tonight

'I think Hawes is going to live

'You may think differently,' said Melchett, 'when you have heard what we now know.' And he quickly told him about Miss Marple's explanation of the crime

I think he still is

But afterwards I was frightened that the police might think she had killed father

I do not think I would have known anything about it myself if I had not met Ogilvy, the well-known astronomer

I think they understood that nothing could be done for the moment, and had gone away to have breakfast at Henderson's house

I think everyone expected to see a man come out - possibly something a little unlike us on Earth, but more or less a man

My wife, at least, did not think my experience unbelievable.

Under the railway bridge I found a group of soldiers - engineers, I think, men wearing small round caps, dirty red jackets and dark trousers

If I had not made a promise to the pub owner, she would, I think, have asked me to stay in Leatherhead that night

It was some time before my shock would let me struggle up into a drier position, or think of the great danger I was in.

If I had been alone, I think I would have taken my chance and gone straight across country

'Death is coming! Death!' and leaving him to think about that, I hurried on to Weybridge.

You can't possibly move without making a noise, and I think they are outside.'

This face had no nose - I do not think they had any sense of smell - but it had a pair of very large, dark eyes, and just beneath these a kind of v-shaped mouth

This idea seems horrible to us, but at the same time I think we should remember how disgusting our meat-eating habits would seem to an intelligent rabbit.

That night, as we hid in the hall, I felt a great need to do something but could think of no plan of escape

I began to think that, although our position was terrible, there was no reason yet to give up hope

Or if they stayed permanently, they might not think it necessary to watch it all the time.

The Martians had made such an impression on me that at first I did not think I could escape

I did not think that they could be defeated by human beings

It filled me with terror to think how quickly that great change had come

Yes - wait a bit, and I'll make it clearer what I think ought to be done

For the first time I began to think that there was some distance between his dreams and his powers, because I could dig a hole like this in a day

I think it's time we looked around from the top of the house.'

I do not think that nearly enough attention is being paid to this

We have learned that we cannot think of this planet as a safe home for humans

It has taken away our confidence in the future, which was making us soft; it has given great help to science, and it has made us think of human beings as one family.

If the Martians can reach Venus, there is no reason to think that this is impossible for us

And it is strangest of all to hold my wife's hand again, and to think that I have thought of her, and that she has thought of me, among the dead.

'Well,' explained Holmes, 'I think this pipe costs around seven-and-sixpence

I did not think this was a good idea, but she insisted

'No, I don't think so.'

'Yes,' Holmes replied, 'I think her first husband is in the cottage

This is what I think happened: this woman was married in America

Mr Grant Munro did not say anything for two minutes, and his answer was one of which I love to think

'I am not a very good man, Effie, but I think that I am better than you thought.'

'Watson,' he said, 'if you should ever think that I am becoming too confident in my powers, or that I am not working hard enough on a particular case, please whisper "Norbury" in my ear, and I will be infinitely obliged to you.'

Whenever I think I am ill, he examines me and says I am fine

You think he is a sweet, gentle little dog

I didn't think this was dangerous work, but it was

We wanted the water to think that we did not care about it

'Well, sir, I don't think you look very healthy, after drinking all that river water

'I think you made this happen

Do you think I can't count?'

I always think that I work too much

But, I think we were right to come back when we did

But it's hard not to think about it

I think it was on Tuesday I bought them

It's just that I didn't think it was a question I was not allowed to ask.'

I simply think it's wrong to sign a document I haven't read.'

At first, just after we were married, I tried not to think of Walter

'I think so.'

What do you think?'

In the 18th and 19th centuries, people started to think, write and talk about women's education more and more.

Examples of human rights are the right to vote; the right to think and speak freely; and the right to free education

The driver asked, "Why don't you stand up?" Rosa replied, "I don't think I should have to stand up." The driver called the police, and Rosa was arrested

But the big problem in any country is changing the way people think about child marriage - and that takes time.

What do you think, Don Diego?" asks the Sergeant

I think Zorro is sincere

I think love and marriage are boring but I must obey my father

"I think I must!" answers Don Diego.
