I haven't said all I could say about Sir Malcolm if I were pressed." "Why not?" "I've told you. Suspicion is not evidence, but if I do get evidence, those who will suffer by it had better beware!" Ned turned at the door and surveyed him with a cool and caustic eye. "That's talk," he said, "and something has got to be done."
She surveyed it critically: the "Mona Lisa," the large "Melrose Abbey," the Burne-Jones draperies, and the "Blessed Damozel" that spread a placid if monotonous culture through the rooms of educated single women.
This is a clear and forcibly written exposition of the tendencies of American society, as surveyed from the point of view of an earnest, practical, and dispassionate reformer. The essays on Town and Country Life, those on Education, Art, and Religion, the Forces of Free Labor, and the Gold Dollar, exhibit equal independence of thought and extent of information.

He pulled out his watch, and after some fumbling got it back into the breast pocket of his thick woollen jacket. Then he surveyed the heavens and ran his eye along the white sky-line to the south. "Twelve o'clock," he mumbled, "A clear sky, and no sun."
He'll want his melon." The doctor surveyed the shattered fruit on the mountainside, and then looked down into the small brown face with its pathetically drooping mouth. "We'll drive around by the store and get another melon, Tabitha, and everything will be all right. Won't that do?" "Why didn't I think of that before?" she exclaimed in visible relief.
