'Brave old Sun! said Raphael, 'how merrily he flashes off the sword-blades yonder, and never cares that every tiny spark brings a death-shriek after it! Why should he? It is no concern of his. Astrologers are fools. His business is to shine; and on the whole, he is one of my few satisfactory sensations. How now? This is questionably pleasant!
For though no royal personage had graced the occasion with his presence, nor had bears suffered martyrdom to promote questionably amiable mirth, Brockhurst, during the past week, had witnessed a series of festivities hardly inferior to those which marked Sir Denzil's historic house-warming.
After forty such involuntary exhibitions of emotion are unattractive, questionably even pathetic. "Really time has stood still with you it seems to me, Colonel Carteret." "Time has done better than stand still," Damaris broke in, with a rather surprising imperiousness. "It has beautifully run backwards lately."
So that it is no arrogance, though it may be a questionably wise form of expression, when we say that the object of Christ's coming is to make us all Christs, God's anointed, and to make us so because He Himself in His Spirit dwells in us.

Theodore tried to arouse his attention and direct it to the hot punch which he had brewed as the best corrective of the evil influence of the weather. "Beyond a doubt," said Cyprian, "this is the germ of insanity, if it is not actually insanity itself." The friends looked questionably at each other.
Heyst, glancing back casually, saw behind him still another light the light of the strangers' open fire. A black, uncouth form, stooping over it monstrously, staggered away into the outlying shadows. The kettle had boiled, probably. With that weird vision of something questionably human impressed upon his senses, Heyst moved on a pace or two.
I told him I was unacquainted with your accomplishments in that line, as I had written you two letters which remained unanswered." "But your mother thanked you for them in my name." "Which was very sweet and good in my dear mother, but questionably courteous in you. Mr. Palma sent you a present."
