He turned towards me with a violence of voice and manner so unlike his usual composed, half-quizzical manner, that I was quite aghast, and did not know how to reply. For the first time a doubt of his own happiness sprang into my mind, and once there it seemed to grow bigger and bigger with every moment that passed.
You lie low till they put us ashore! After that do you think you can trust me?" He spoke with comically twisted eyebrows and a smile half-kindly and half-quizzical. And the forlorn little creature in his arms turned with a swooping, passionate movement, caught one of his hands and pressed it to quivering lips. "I'll live or die for your sake!" the trembling voice told him. "I'm just yours."
The lighthouse, the hospital, the three white houses by the quay we had but to mention a building and he would promptly murmur, in his dreamy, half-quizzical way; "Oui-i-i ... c'est Dimitri!"
You imagine that only those who adore you really know you? Indeed, this belief that everybody adores you is a craze of yours." Jeanne made the little pouting grimace with which all her friends were familiar. "What a foolish girl," she said; but at once softened the expression with a kiss and a half-sad, half-quizzical smile.

It was not until she reached the bend in the staircase, where the tall clock stood, that she looked over the balustrade and saw Dan in the hall below with the white rose in his hand. She had come so softly that he had not heard her step. The light from the candelabra was full upon him, and she saw the half-tender, half-quizzical look in his face.

"It was a very noble work," said the Countess of Archester, slightly bowing her own queenly head, and giving Mrs. Aylmer a half-quizzical, half-pitying glance.
You've always been able to snap your fingers at public opinion before this; can you afford to do it now?" "Oh, I don't know; I reckon I'll have to grin and bear it if you want to buy up a few newspapers and set them to blacklisting me, as you usually do," was the half-quizzical reply. Then: "I'm pretty well used to it by this time.
We found that the first veil of steam, and a fearful stench of gases, proceeded from a miniature crater whose edge was heavily encrusted with a white salt.
