At the sound of her voice, Margaret dragged her thoughts back to the fact that she had been waiting for a cup of coffee. "No," she said, jerkily. "I am not ill, only a little tired, thank you." "You're working hard, I suppose? One coffee, threepence," she jotted down. "Are you in a hospital? I wish I was nursing, instead of doing this." Margaret looked at her blankly for a moment.
I know when I first did it I shut my eyes and wondered whether they would bury my remains or cremate them. 'When you first did it? Elizabeth was staring at him blankly. 'Have you done it before? Her voice shook. Bill met her gaze frankly. 'Done it before? Rather! Thousands of times. You see, I spent a year on a bee-farm once, learning the business.
Oh-Pshaw stared at her blankly, unbelievingly for a moment, and then a great joy came into her face when she realized that she had achieved her heart's desire. "Oh, Nyoda!" was all she said, but Nyoda understood, and the other Torch Bearers, having had that same emotion themselves once upon a time, also understood. Agony stared down steadily into her lap.
"What do you want?" she put in English, with a creditable display of dignity. "He does not speak English, your highness," volunteered Baldos, in a voice so well disguised that it startled her. The officer was staring blankly at her. "Every officer in my army should and must learn to speak English," she said, at her wits' end, "I decline to be questioned by the fellow.
"What's this?" says Tom, staring at it blankly. "Ye won't blame me, Mac," answers Mr. Jarrott, somewhat ashamed of his role of process-server. "'Tain't none of my doin's."

Mrs. Cluett spread a small, spotted fringed cloth on a trunk, setting on it a cut and odorous lemon a trifle past its prime and a sticky jar of jam.
Both lads were rolled over and over to the foot of the rapids, where Ned helped them and their canoes to shore. For a moment the three wrecked Jolly Rovers could only stare blankly at their dripping clothes, and at one another. The whole thing had taken place so quickly that they did not as yet realize the extent of the misfortune.
"What do yer make o' that out thar?" he asked sharply. "'Tain't a human, is it?" Sikes straightened up with a start, and stared blankly in the direction indicated.

At the time you received it I was on my way from Crossleys. I have been traveling for the last hour and a half." I stared at him very blankly. The object of such a communication was difficult to imagine, and I knew of nothing incriminating in my possession, which might have tempted the assassin to lure me from the house whilst he obtained possession of it.
"Though we all own as quite true," said Captain Horton, "that we don't see how you could have acted differently; eh, Sandars?" "Yes, yes, of course. But, hang it all, Long, how could you go and get into such a confounded pickle? It's too bad, sir, 'pon my soul, sir; it is too bad much too bad."
