"Perhaps I'm stupid," he said, "but a misshapen valise containing a cabinet with a girl's name on it doesn't seem calculated to scare an able-bodied man to death. It isn't full of dynamite, is it?" "What is your branch of scientific work?" counter-questioned the other. "Botany," replied the young man, at random. "No other? Physics? Entomology? Astronomy? Chemistry? Biology?"
"Are you not you that were born a Cornish Christian gentleman become a heathen and a robber, a renegade and a pirate? Have you not sacrificed your very God to your vengeful lust?" He met her glance fully, never quailing before her denunciation, and when she had ended on that note of question he counter-questioned her. "And your instincts had forewarned you of all this?
"I was waiting only for daylight," he concluded, "to return to prison." "What did you think had become of me?" asked Casanova. "I imagined that you had tumbled off the roof." "And is this abuse the expression of your joy at finding yourself mistaken?" "Where have you been all this time?" the monk counter-questioned sullenly. "Come with me and you shall see."
"Am I such a tyrant?" counter-questioned the signorino. "No; but they are always begging me to ask you things. Angiolino wants to know if he may go for three days to see his uncle at Fiesole." "Of course." "But why, then, don't they ask you themselves? Is it they think me so cheeky?" "Perhaps they think I can refuse you nothing." "Che! In that case they would ask Madame Petrucci."
"At the cost of my own neck?" quoth he. "The price is high," he reminded her. "Do you think that Richard is quite worth it?" "And are you to save yourself at the cost of his?" she counter-questioned. "Are you capable of such a baseness?" He looked at her thoughtfully a moment. "You have not reflected," said he slowly, "that in this affair is involved more than mine or Richard's life.
"Bauer, your grandfather was a robber," the girl laughed. "Take heed that you do not follow in his footsteps." "I am a poor man, your mm -Fräulein," he stammered. "Here's a crown," said Max, tossing a coin which was neatly caught by the grimy hand of the smith. "Are you very rich?" asked the girl curiously. "Why?" counter-questioned Max. "Oh, I am curious to know.
"About what?" counter-questioned the other girl, reddening. "About your father and your wonderful voice, and, oh, all there is to tell." "Marjorie," the Mary girl's tones were strained and wistful, "do you really think it is wonderful?" "You will be a great singer some day," returned Marjorie, simply. "Oh, do you believe that?" Constance clasped her hands in ecstasy. "I wish to be I hope to be.

On the table a single candle burned in a candlestick. "Why didn't you bring along with you, Benson," sneered the long fellow, "the property of mine that you stole from me?" It was plain, then, that the foreign agent remembered the submarine boy well. "Why are you playing this fool trick on me?" counter-questioned Captain Jack. "You knew I didn't have the the things with me. You could see that."
I'm beginning to learn that." A brief silence fell upon the three classmates. "Have you had your breakfast, Elfreda?" asked Grace, almost abruptly. "Are there waffles?" counter-questioned Elfreda. "There can be. The Harlowe House kitchen boasts of waffle irons, bought with this occasion in view." "Then I am heart and soul for breakfast," avowed Elfreda.
