Fred put the men through a searching course of cross-questioning, but could not discover any flaw in their statement regarding the large fire lit on the hill; and he was obliged to admit that there must have been a signal there as described. After seeing that the men had every comfort, he went off to consult the minister and Doctor Holtum as to what must be done.
Sudden got heavily to his feet and stood looking down at her, his whimsical mouth slack with dismay. But he pulled himself together and took the dominant, cool initiative which was so much a part of his nature. "You say he started last night. How do you know?" "The hotel clerk I 'phoned oh, don't start cross-questioning, dad! I know! His plane is gone, and he should have been here last night!
"Are we charged with shoplifting, Mr Walton? Really, one is not accustomed to such cross-questioning except from a lawyer." "Have patience with me for a moment," I returned. "I am not going to be mysterious for more than two or three questions. Please tell me whether you were in that shop or not." "I believe we were," said the mother. "Yes, certainly," said the daughter. "Did you buy anything?"
As soon as she had finished the first song, he looked up at her in unaffected embarrassment, and murmured: “Who are you, anyhow? Who are you?” “No investigations or cross-questioning, please,” replied the singer, and, blushing at the praise Daniel was bestowing on her by his very behaviour, she laughed and said, “The next song, please, that one by Eichendorff!”
He wrestled with a vague recollection of having somewhere heard the name of the periodical. For a moment he thought of risking cross-questioning, and saying that he had only missed the last number.

I fancy I hear Sir Abraham cross-questioning him at the Common Pleas." The warden thought of his income being thus discussed, his modest life, his daily habits, and his easy work; and nothing issued from that single cord, but a low wail of sorrow. "I suppose they've sent this petition up to my father." The warden didn't know; he imagined they would do so this very day.
The old horse was sleepy, and wouldn't "stand round" to order, and they had to push her into place; but they were ready at last, and Happy-go-Lucky whispered "Pile in!" They piled in literally one above the other, and lay down upon the hay in the bottom of the cart. There might yet be some stray wanderer to meet and run the gauntlet of his cross-questioning.
"I was harassed by frightful dreams, and only awoke from one fit of nightmare to fall into a worse." "Are you often troubled with bad dreams?" said he, without removing his powerful gaze from my pale face. "Not often with such as disturbed me last night." I detected my uncle's drift in using this species of cross-questioning, and I determined to increase his uneasiness without betraying my own.
"No." "Windjammer?" "Yes." Leonard nodded at his painting. "Fishing smack, I'll bet." The cross-questioning was interrupted by a raucous voice overhead, and both boys looked up to see the mate's thick torso hanging over the rail. He was shaking his fist at the tall Englishman. "W'ot you think we brought you along for?" he bawled savagely. "To give lectures?
Long she spoke, and loudly, in her broad Scotch way; and the general objected many things, but was answered to them all; and there was close cross-questioning, slow-caution, keen examination of documents and letters: catechisms, solecisms, Scottisms; reminiscences rubbed up, mistakes corrected; and the grand result of all, Emily a Stuart, and the general not her father!
