But Maurice was once a friend of ours you don't deny it, I hope?" she threw in challengingly; for Dove muttered something to himself. "And I want to get at the truth about him. I'm sorrier than I can say, to hear, on all sides, what a fool he's making of himself." Dove was suavely silent.

Even the special form of the loop-line time-table, pasted here and there on the walls of the station, had not varied since his youth. Toby gazed around, half challengingly and half nervously it was conceivable that he might be recognized, or might recognize. But no! Not a soul in the vast, swaying, preoccupied, luggage-laden crowds gave him a glance.

The man put the whip away and rejoined us, flinging himself down on the other side of me. He was breathing hard from his exertions. He wiped the sweat from his eyes on his coat-sleeve, and looked challengingly at me. I returned his look carelessly; what he had done was no concern of mine. I did not go away abruptly.

There was no moon. The lake lay dark and mysterious, pricked here and there with the swaying orange light of a fishing-boat. High up, like a ring of planets brooding above the town, the great arc of the Caux Palace lights blazed through the starlit dusk. Tony reverted to the evening's play. "You didn't do badly, either," he said, challengingly. "You weren't bored to-night, were you?"

Western faith has generally seen in this situation a challenge to personality to assert its own supremacy over the impersonal and subject its encompassing order to the high purposes of the soul. If we are wounded in the fight we take our wounds as good soldiers; if the forces which face us are challengingly strong we fall back upon our deeper resources and in the end assert our own vaster powers.

Even now we might send for General Westerling and some of the other staff-officers." She paused and looked at Bouchard questioningly, perhaps challengingly; at least, he thought challengingly. He had half a mind to concur. Could anything be better than to have Westerling present if suspicions proved correct? But no. She wanted Westerling and that was the best reason why he should not be present.

"It's a pity, isn't it?" she said, her chin lifting. "The men seem to like it, ma'am. Every day there's new ones makin' contracts for managers." "I suppose you will never sacrifice yourself?" she asked challengingly. "It ain't time, yet, ma'am," he returned, looking straight at her, his eyes narrowed, with little wrinkles in the corners.

Big Medicine stopped laughing suddenly, reined his horse close to the other, and stared at him challengingly, with his pale, protruding eyes, while the Happy Family glanced meaningly at one another. Big Medicine was quite as unsafe as he looked, at that moment, and they wondered if the offender realized his precarious situation.

And so you mustn't talk to a woman until somebody whose name has been spoken to you speaks yours to her! Do you call that a rule of nature?" "My dear boy," I laughed in some desperation, "we must conform to it, ordinarily, no matter whose rule it is." "Do you think Madame d'Armand cares for little forms like that?" he asked challengingly. "She does," I assured him with perfect confidence.

"No, he don't," Jake Pergrin, a fat bachelor of forty who was foreman in a machine shop and the man of the house, would answer. So long had Jake been the final authority in the house on affairs touching Caxton that he looked upon Sam as an intruder. "John told me last summer when I was home that he intended to sell the blacks and buy mules," he would add, looking at the youth challengingly.
