Vickers little knew what an ordeal the woman he loved was passing through in this simple affair. A woman may present no difficulties to the most fastidiously bred man, and yet be found wanting in a thousand particulars by the women of his social class. As the two emerged from the hotel, Isabelle looked dubiously at Mrs. Lawton. "Queer, isn't she?" that frank lady remarked.
"Then I'll help you braid straw," said Robert, laughing. "Don't you think I might learn after a while?" "I don't know but you might," said Mrs. Rushton, dubiously; "but the pay is very poor." "That's so, mother. I shan't, take to braiding straw except as a last resort." "Wouldn't Mr. Davis take you back into the factory if I went to him and told him how much we needed the money?"
A second block was taken out, numbered, and set aside; finally the screen was demolished, and the way stood open. The slaves looked dubiously at the dusty aperture, which held out no invitation to them; the master, however, drew his robe closer about him, and stooping went in, lamp in hand. They then followed. An ascending passage, low but of ample width, received them.
"Down there just in front of the pit, talking to that bald-headed idiot with the monocle." "Do you think she is American?" I said, dubiously. I couldn't see her feet. "She might be French. She talks all over." "No. She is an American girl. See how thin she is. The French are short and fat." "Look at her face," I said, enviously. "How animated it is.
But the friar himself was in no less doubt than his disciples; he approached her dubiously, crossing himself, making the sacred sign in the air, and sprinkling a shower of holy water before him to drive away the demon, if demon there was. Jeanne was not unused to support the rudest accost, and her frank voice, still assez femme, made itself heard over every clamour.
"Medium height and weight, blue eyes, light brown hair, smooth face." Louie looked at me dubiously. "How big a guy?" he asked. "Five feet seven or eight; weighs about hundred and forty." "Blue eyes you say?" "Light blue gray blue." "How was he tucked up?" "Blue serge suit, black shoes, black derby. Neat, quiet dresser." Louie's eyes wandered over the guests in the office questioningly.
There leapt into his mind the oddest contrast, a memory of Bensington, very bright and little Bensington with his hand amidst the soft breast feathers of that first great chick, standing in that conventionally furnished room of his, peering over his spectacles dubiously as cousin Jane banged the door.... It had all happened in a yesterday of one-and-twenty years.
Deronda had a strongly resistant feeling: he was inclined to shake off hastily the touch on his arm; but he managed to slip it away and said coldly, "I am an Englishman." The questioner looked at him dubiously still for an instant, then just lifted his hat and turned away; whether under a sense of having made a mistake or of having been repulsed, Deronda was uncertain.
"Hot ride, sir; a hot day," commented McAlpin, shaking his head dubiously as he called a man to take the horse, unstrapped de Spain's coat from the saddle, and followed the manager into the office.
“There’s a good deal in it, I believe,” said the younger man. “His theory is all right if he can get some one to help him carry it out.” “Well, maybe, maybe,” said the Squire shaking his head dubiously, “but it seems to me a very fanciful scheme. Horses are good enough for me. I shouldn’t like to trust myself to an unknown quantity like steam, but time will tell.”
