After this she wandered everywhere about the country full of disquietude and perplexity in search, of the chest, inquiring of every person she met with, even, of some children whom she chanced to see, whether they knew what was become of it.
"Search for him!" she answered, and sat down on a chair. The Baron hesitated a moment longer. "Come in, come in," he then said roughly to the guards; "what are we waiting for?" They stepped into Frederick's room. He was not there, but the bed was still warm. They climbed to the garret, down the cellar, examined the straw, looked behind every barrel, even into the oven; he was not there.
They're like dollar bills up in Hudson Bay country. Tobacco's the only thing you can trade with an Esquimaux. You can't cook very well, you don't know how to milk a cow; why, you can't even harness a horse." "Are you regretting your bargain already?" "No," he said, going over to the shelf in search of the matches, "I guess I can teach you.
"Heavens!" he said, "don't tell me I'm to search all China, and Greece, and wherever the cabalistic pundits come from!" "Well, no," Hewitt answered with a smile. "I think I should, at any rate, begin in this country. I rather think you might make a beginning at Denson. That is what I should do if the case were mine.

While sitting at my post of observation, my neck sometimes refused to retain its unnatural position a moment longer, and then I refreshed myself with other objects around; for after some search I had found a charming place for study.
In an instant I saw what she had done. In rash presumption she had told Newhaven that she was going with the curate and now the curate had refused to take her and Ives had met him in search of Mrs. Wentworth. What could she do? Well, she rose or fell to the occasion. In the coldest of voices she said, "I thought you'd gone for your walk."
"Has he been out?" "No." "Got the ladder?" "Yes." "All quiet in the neighborhood?" "All quiet." "Good." The street in which this conversation took place was one running roughly parallel with that in which the house of Sin Sin Wa was situated. A detailed search of the Chinaman's premises had failed to bring to light any scrap of evidence to show that opium had ever been smoked there.
