She could not parry the question as she had done before, and it probed depths. She said very seriously and sweetly: "I should have done, Austin, as I always shall do, whatever you ask me to do. I'm glad you didn't ask me very glad for the love a woman gives a man died within me, you know." He took her hand and kissed it. "My dear," said he, "you are the truest friend that ever man had."
They then entreated him "to be content to go with them aboard," there to have his wound probed and dressed before adventuring farther. This did not satisfy Drake, for he knew very well that if the Spaniards rallied, the town would be lost, for it was "utterly impossible, at least very unlikely, that ever they should, for that time, return again, to recover the state in which they now were."
Your dry old woman, who hath had losses, who has become, in fact, world-worn and very wise, or like one of Shakespeare's veterans the Grave-digger, or the Countryman in Antony and Cleopatra has probed the ball and found it hollow; such a battered and fortified soul in petticoats is peculiar to Italy, and countries where the women work and the men, pocketing their hands, keep sleek looks.
The surgeon-in-charge informed me that I would probably lose the arm. The younger surgeon says the ball will become what he calls encysted. They probed and couldn't find it. Isn't that Josiah I hear?" "Yes, I will bring him in." In a moment they came back. "My God! Master John, I been looking for you all night and this morning I found Hoodoo dead.

Ester struggled with herself, tore bits of down from the edge of her fan, tried to regain her composure and her voice, but the tender, gentle, yet searching tone, seemed to have probed her very soul and the eyes that at last were raised to meet his were melting into tears, and the voice which answered him quivered perceptibly. "No, Mr. Foster, I am not happy." "Why? May I ask you?
The trustees were clearly of opinion that the matter should be probed to the very bottom; so Cadell sets off to-morrow in quest of Robinson, whose haunts he knows. There was much talk concerning what should be done, how to protect my honour's person, and to postpone commencing a defence which must make Ahab desperate, before we can ascertain that the grounds are really tenable.
Renee suffered herself to be probed here and there, and revealed nothing of the pain of the operation. She said to Nevil, in Rosamund's hearing: 'Have you the sense of honour acute in your country? Nevil inquired for the apropos. 'None, said she. Such pointed insolence disposed Rosamund to an irritable antagonism, without reminding her that she had given some cause for it.
Colwood noticed the quality of it. "Of course if my mother had lived," said Diana, in the same tone, "it would have been different." "But she died when you were a child?" "Eighteen years ago. I can just remember it. We were in London then. Afterwards father took me abroad, and we never came back. Oh! the waste of all those years!" "Waste?" Mrs. Colwood probed the phrase a little.
The observer with steady hand moved the spot of light about till he had probed the room, and found all it contained, which was nothing save a bed and two chairs. "Applied science reports the man is fit for treason, spoils, and that sort of thing. He has no pictures. His room is a sleeping den. The man is a Hallo! Steady there!"
She knew, too, his powers of intrigue; that they were enlisted against her; and a glance sufficed to show the path to be pursued. Long ago her penetrating eye had probed the mask of dissimulation which concealed, like the "silver veil" of Mokanna, a great deformity: how much greater because, alas! a moral one. Father Mazzolin inquired, with apparent interest, the cause of contention.
