Out ahead, where the trail wound aimlessly around a low sand ridge flecked with scrubby sage half buried in gray snowbanks, a horse whinnied inquiringly; Barney, his own red-roan, perked his ears toward the sound and sent shrill answer. In that land and at that season travelers were never so numerous as to be met with indifference, and Billy felt a slight thrill of expectation.
For a moment he seemed to wait for Dinnie to call him back as she always did, but this time there was no sound, and Hugo walked majestically on, with absurd little Satan running in a circle about him. On the way they met the "funeral dog," who glanced inquiringly at Satan, shied from the mastiff, and trotted on.
Who is your leader?" Duval smiled, turning his head inquiringly. "I don't think you have much choice," he commented dryly. "However, perhaps you are not too proud to talk to a regular who outranks you I present Major Lawrence, of the Continental Line."

The old lady looked up inquiringly. "It's something I've been thinking of a long time, at least most of the time since I've been sick.

"Here, Jocko," said Browne, standing in front of his house and calling to the Adamite negro lad, "you go and call Bob, and get the sloop ready. I'm going down to the ship." "Get sloop, massa?" said the negro, speaking English with difficulty. "Massa say sloop?" Sanford Browne looked at the black figure inquiringly. It was not often that poor, cringing Jocko ventured to question him.
Leading to the floor below the dormitory, I was shown a room with a long table down the middle, with a lot of dirty pictures stuck on the wall, and one or two dirty books piled up in the corner.

The postman knocked next door, and I was ashamed to show myself; but only a second or two later he appeared with a single letter in his hand. "Captain Fyffe?" he asked, inquiringly, and I responding "Captain Fyffe," he handed me the letter. The superscription was in Violet's hand.
Boris said no more, but looked inquiringly at his mother without taking off his cloak.

I shall not disturb him, my friend... I only need see Prince Vasili Sergeevich: he is staying here, is he not? Please announce me."
"Then Drummond got mumps, and I wrote to him asking if I might represent the house instead of him, and I suppose he didn't believe I was any good. At any rate, he wouldn't let me go in. Then Joe a man who knows something about boxing suggested I should go down to Aldershot." "Joe?" said Mr Spence inquiringly. Sheen had let the name slip out unintentionally, but it was too late now to recall it.
And, in her anxiety and anguish, she almost smiled, in thinking that he had succeeded so quickly by his folly. "To-morrow?" said he, inquiringly.
