At times she would turn a shy, half-doubting, half-questioning glance at him, but he would smile so naturally and speak so frankly that the suspicion that he had heard her words almost passed from her mind. "Madge," he said, "in finding an outlook toward the hotel or valley, don't go far away, if possible. It makes me awfully nervous to think of you climbing alone."
At the door she glanced back at Zoya with a half-questioning look, which the contessa answered by blowing her a kiss. That night the little sleep Nina was able to get was fitful and broken by dreams. The duke and his mother appeared to her as cuttlefish in a cave under perpendicular cliffs that ran into the sea.
Meanwhile, close to the speaker's stand sat the Honorable Jonas Whitermore himself, for the most part grim and motionless, though I thought I detected once or twice a repetition of the half-troubled, half-questioning glances directed toward his wife that I had seen before. Perhaps it was because I was watching him so closely that I saw the sudden change come to his face.
I was all the time as close at their heels as I dared to be. They turned round once, and sent me a half-fearful, half-questioning look, and I saw no resentment nor any trace of a frown in it. This forbearance with my annoyance shamed me thoroughly and made me lower my eyes.
These were of the things that made life in the woods most worth while. More insistent grew the wavering notes of the lover. More indifferent became the beloved. She was superb in her poise as she amused herself in hiding. A perfect burst of confused, sobbing notes broke on the air. Then away in the deep wood a softly-wavering, half-questioning "Coo-ah!" answered them.
Maybe Miss Daisy wouldn't read us de story, and de angels, and de shepherds, and dat great light what come down, and make us feel good for Christmas; and Uncle Darry, he'll t'ank de Lord." The last words were put in a half-questioning form to me, rather taking for granted that I would readily do what was requested.
Anthony gave no very pleasant hue to her thoughts. "Excuse me," she said rising, "I must see Mrs. De Lisle." Mrs. Anthony raised her finger, and gave Mrs. Dexter a warning look, as she uttered the words "Don't forget." "I won't," was answered. Mrs. De Lisle received her with a serious countenance. "You go to Newport in the morning?" she spoke, half-questioning and half in doubt. "Yes."
"He did not come home last night?" said Susan, cutting short the story, and half-affirming, half-questioning, by way of letting in a ray of the awful light before she let it full in, in its consuming wrath. "No! he'll be stopping somewhere out Ulverstone ways. I'm sure we've need of him at home, for I've no one but lile Tommy to help me tend the beasts.

It makes me feel old enough to be your grandmother." He glanced up, half-questioning, half-deprecating. "That would be the oddest thing of all, unless I really appear to be about twenty years before my time." For a reason she could not have fathomed, she looked into his eyes with a sudden seriousness and said: "I was thirty-two last week."
