"Where?" queried Fauchery with growing surprise. "Upstairs in a dressing room. Yes, she has, indeed, and with such distinction! She's got a way of glancing at you as she goes by you something like this, you know!" And eggcup in hand, he endeavored to imitate Nana, quite forgetting his dignity in his frantic desire to convince the others. Fauchery gazed at him in a state of stupefaction.
"How impertinent!" she exclaimed, flushing, addressing herself rather than the older woman beside her. "Of course, it couldn't be Allen; but if it wasn't, why was he looking back at me? Did you recognize him, Eleanor?" "Who's impertinent?" queried Patricia, who sat between them and exercised a ten-year-old sister's prerogative. Mrs. Gorham was quietly amused.
Burns, also in dust-coat pulled on over his evening clothes, grinned cheerfully. "Deserter?" he queried. "You'll be back within the hour, won't you?" "Less than that, probably. The Imp's running like a bird to-night show you her paces when we get out. Hi, there! Who's that chasing us? Well, of all the you, too, Ches?"
Well, I reckon the man who tries 'll be one of ole Abraham's pets right off soon after," commented Pete. "He don't look good to me." "You sabe 'em?" queried Bailey and winked at a companion.

It's this trip up into New Hampshire that's crowding things; otherwise, I might have managed it very well." "Couldn't anybody else have seen Mr. Hackett home?" asked Julius. "No."
Magin returned the look frankly, humorously, quizzically. Then he said: "You remind me, by the way, of a question I came to ask you. Would you object to telling me what you are up to here?" "What am I up to?" queried Matthews, in astonishment. The cheek of the bounder was really beyond everything! "What do you mean?" Magin smiled. "I am not an Englishman. I mean what I say." "No you're not!"

"I have been wanting to see you," he said at once. "About Mr. Banneker?" she queried eagerly. "No. About The Searchlight." "The Searchlight? I don't understand, Mr. Edmonds."
