"A Prince Albert has no swallow-tails?" I gasped wonderingly; "but it has great, long tails, surely!" "Oh, now I see," an idea flashing through my mind; "it has cock-tails, has it, mamma, and it can't swallow them, can it, mamma?" "Oh my, oh my!" screamed mother, "you are the funniest little chap to ask me questions. Go, ask pussy!"
She is the one to pity, I don't care how selfish and shallow she was! As for your brother, he just died. What was dying, compared to living? Oh, you don't understand. Poor bad women! You might at least be sorry for them. How can you be so hard?" "I suppose I am hard," he said, half wonderingly, but very meekly; "when a good woman can pity Dora that was her name; who am I to judge her?
It was not safe to be the bearer of ill tidings to Adelaide. "An announcement?" she said wonderingly. "Oh, no, Mrs. Baxter, my father will never marry again.

His lips began to quiver, his face grew white, and his hand trembled so that the old monkey took hold of one of his fingers and looked at it wonderingly.

Vronsky looked wonderingly at the prince with his resolute eyes, and, with a faint smile, began immediately talking to Countess Nordston of the great ball that was to come off next week. "I hope you will be there?" he said to Kitty.
"Danger?" he repeated wonderingly. "Danger! Get up and get out if you want to save your hide!" "What's the trouble?" said Dan, and his eyes were surprised, but not afraid. "The biggest man in this room is after your blood." "Is he?" said Dan wonderingly. "I'm sorry I don't feel like leavin', but I'm not tired of this place yet."
"I couldn't help it. It would ha' been just the same if I'd been on parade. It would come. It's been ready to bust out all this time. I thought you was going to die, sir I thought you was going to die!" "Die, Pete! No! What for?" "Don't you know, sir?" "No-o," said Archie wonderingly. "Here, stop a minute; let me give you some water."
The forced smile faded as Wallace stood staring; the expression both in Durham's voice and on his face was so hopelessly despondent, that into Wallace's mind there came a fear lest the recovered gold had again disappeared. "Not send that?" he asked wonderingly. "Why? You said " "I know. But you must not send it now. Write another." "The gold is lost?" Wallace exclaimed. "No.
The Girl looked at him wonderingly. "Now don't spring your recurrent 'why' on me," said the Harvester. "I'll tell you 'why' some of these days. Just now answer me this question: Do you want me to remain here or leave until you finish? Which way would you be least afraid?" "I am not at all afraid on the rug and with my work," she said.
