You shall go."
Taine looked at him with a curious, half-doubtful half-wistful expression; as though she glimpsed a hint of a meaning that did not appear upon the surface of his words. "You do say such such twisty things," she murmured. "I don't think I always understand what you mean; but when you look at me that way, I feel as though my maid had neglected to finish hooking me up."
She shook her head dismally, and went on in a lugubrious tone, "Besides, didn't ye notice the windin' sheet in the candle las' night, an' didn't ye hear the howl o' thet dog along towards mornin'?" Sara's eyes were fixed upon her with an interested, yet half-doubtful look. She had heard these superstitions from babyhood, till they had become almost a part of her religion.

Then, without waiting for my denial, he told Tammy to go to hell out of it and stop his noise, or he'd boot him off the poop. After that, he walked forward to the break of the poop, and lit his pipe, again walking forward and aft every few minutes, and eyeing me, at times, I thought, with a strange, half-doubtful, half-puzzled look.

Then, holding herself away from him, she said, with a half-doubtful yet radiant look: "It is not too late yet. I will give you one final chance to save yourself." He shook his head. "Then I have done my duty!"
'Won't they do anything? cried Ursula in fear. Gudrun, who was usually frightened of cattle, now shook her head in a queer, half-doubtful, half-sardonic motion, a faint smile round her mouth. 'Don't they look charming, Ursula? cried Gudrun, in a high, strident voice, something like the scream of a seagull. 'Charming, cried Ursula in trepidation. 'But won't they do anything to us?
