Now he's just been offered the post of agent on the Duke of Wiltshire's estate a perfectly splendid position. Of course, I told him all about my first marriage" she glanced challengingly at her sister "but he's a perfect dear, and he saw at once I'd been more sinned against than sinning. We're going to be married this summer." "I'm unaccountable glad." Ellen gave her a queer look.
His rugged weather-beaten face convulsed with suppressed rage, which but for the presence of the King would have exploded upon Edestone after the manner of the old-fashioned sea-dog that he was, but holding himself in check he said loudly and challengingly: "If there is no objection I will ask the young man to repeat the last picture, and I would also like to inquire with what material the framework of this ship is covered, and what is the calibre of those large guns if they are guns?"
However, this new situation had removed the diffidence that had affected her; their relations were less matter of fact and more romantic, and she felt toward him as any woman feels who knows an admirer pursues her breathless with the wonder of it, but holding aloof, tantalizing, whimsical, and uncertain of herself. She looked at him challengingly, mockery in her eyes.

And you know what we heard about it before we left San Juan. This whole country is strange, somehow. 'Strange? he queried challengingly. 'What do you mean? She had not relaxed her hand on his arm.
"I don't want to spoil your face till after the Fourth, though that ain't saying yuh don't deserve it. But I will say this: You're a liar you ain't had a letter for more than six weeks." "Got anything yuh want to bet on that?" Weary reached challengingly toward an inner pocket of his vest. "Nit. I don't give a darn, anyway yuh look at it. I'm going to bed."
"I expect you think we're a lot of very commonplace people, Nan," she commented. "Own up, now!" challengingly. Lady Gertrude's eyes flashed like steel. "Hardly that, I hope," she said coldly. "Well, we're none of us in the least artistic," persisted her niece, perfectly aware that her small thrusts were as irritating to Lady Gertrude and Roger as the picador's darts to the bull in the arena.
But Hans Hansen turned his head squarely toward the table, as if defying the world, and mustered with his steel-blue eyes one face after another, challengingly and as it were contemptuously; he even dropped Ingeborg's hand and swung his cap back and forth more vehemently, to show what sort of a man he was.

Jill said challengingly, "Go on!" Again what he'd said had little meaning to her, but she could see that he believed it important. "Why, a searchlight beam is stopped by a cloud, which is many mist-droplets in one place.
He went to another saloon, found and hired a cow-puncher strayed up from Valley County, and when Dick came in, a half-hour later, Ford went to the bar and deliberately "called up the house." He had been minded to choose a mineral water then, but he caught Dick's mocking eye upon him, and instead took whisky straight, and stared challengingly at the other over the glass tilted against his lips.
But how do you manage with Emmeline?" "I tell her that no one can conduct, an automobile as she does." "My dear!" "It's an amusing game," the girl answered. "But is it a safe one?"
