She set a massive golden bowl to his mouth, and very gently raised his head. Unquestioningly he drank, as though he had been a child and she his mother. The liquid, warm and somewhat sweet, had just a tang of some new taste that he had never known. Singularly vitalizing it seemed, soothing yet full of life.
"It will sure be the gosh-dangdest stampede that ever was," Daylight chuckled, as he tried to vision the excited populations of Forty Mile and Circle City tumbling into poling-boats and racing the hundreds of miles up the Yukon; for he knew that his word would be unquestioningly accepted.
But and many guardians find it a good plan she preferred to give the girls a good deal of latitude and real independence. One result was that, whenever she did give a positive order, it was obeyed unquestioningly.
D'Arthez's revelations of himself were made very simply, but to Lucien he seemed like an intellectual giant; and by eleven o'clock, when they left the restaurant, he began to feel a sudden, warm friendship for this nature, unconscious of its loftiness, this unostentatious worth. Lucien took d'Arthez's advice unquestioningly, and followed it out to the letter.
He died with every circumstance of tragedy, yet it is not the accident of his death but the purpose of his life that is remembered. Readers of history in another country cannot doubt that the praise so given is rightly given; yet any bare record of the American Civil War may leave them wondering why it has been so unquestioningly accorded.
"Quick!" gasped Ventnor, stretching out to me an arm. "Cut off the sleeve. Quick!" Unquestioningly, I drew my knife, ripped the garment at the shoulder.

"Hold her!" he ordered Drake; and with a sob of relief sprang up.
The children are taught their catechism on Sundays and are drilled as those of their class into having good outward manners and behaviour. They are given orders without explanations, which they are expected to obey unquestioningly, and they are duly punished when they are disobedient. They see their parents at stated hours each day, and are seemingly a well-regulated and satisfactory young brood.
There is perpetually the inducement to act the hypocrite before the hypocrite world, unless a woman submits to be the humbly knitting housewife, unquestioningly worshipful of her lord; for the world is ever gracious to an hypocrisy that pays homage to the mask of virtue by copying it; the world is hostile to the face of an innocence not conventionally simpering and quite surprised; the world prefers decorum to honesty.
Shirley wondered, then sniffed the air suspiciously. The girl looked at him with a silent question. "Quick, tear off your glove and let me have that diamond ring I noticed on your finger, the large solitaire, not the dinner ring." Unquestioningly she obeyed. There was a strange Oriental odor in the car suggestive of an incense.
You soon understood how it comes about that the Eastern takes all the natural facts of life for granted, without bothering about fine shades, and acts on them unquestioningly. What is called altruism in the West seems artificial.
