They flew around our house inquisitively to the joy of all, not only of ourselves, but also of the dogs. The latter were wild with joy and excitement, and ran after the birds in hopes of getting a delicate morsel. Foolish dogs! Their chase ended with a wild fight among themselves. On October 20th the weather had at last become so stable that we could start.
When the White Linen Nurse found anything again she found herself lying perfectly flat on her back in a reasonably comfortable nest of grass and leaves. Staring inquisitively up into the sky she thought she noticed a slight black and blue discoloration towards the west, but more than that, much to her relief, the firmament did not seem to be seriously injured.
This extraordinary man had refused to enter into the details which she inquisitively craved. Charlotte Plimpton rose. "I shall not bother you any longer at present, Mr. Hodder," she said sweetly. "I know you must have, this morning especially, a great deal to trouble you." He met her scrutiny calmly. "It is only the things we permit to trouble us that do so, Mrs. Plimpton," he replied.
The old woman approached with a stealthy, cat-like step, and sitting down beside the maiden, and gazing inquisitively into her dim eyes, said, in a whining voice, intended to be very winning and persuasive, "What ails my pretty pet? Is she unwell?" "I am not unwell," replied Magdalena, coldly, rousing herself to the exertion of conversing, with an effort.
No sooner were the two ladies alone, than Balbilla rose and looked inquisitively round and about the sculptor's enclosed work-room; but her companion said: "A very polite young man, this Pollux, but rather too much at his ease, and too enthusiastic."
It drew up opposite our chambers, and a few moments later a brisk step ascending the stairs heralded a smart rat-tat at our door. Flinging open the latter, I found myself confronted by a well-dressed stranger, who, after a quick glance at me, peered inquisitively over my shoulder into the room. "I am relieved, Dr. Jervis," said he, "to find you and Dr.
It's awful late. Was it Tony you was talkin' to outside?" "No." "It warn't?" she turned a hawklike glance on her niece. "Who was it?" she asked inquisitively. "Mr. Howe." "Mr. Ho Not Martin Howe!" Lucy nodded. "Yes." "Martin Howe here on my land! What was he doin'?" "He wasn't on your land," Lucy said. "He left me at the gate. He was seeing me home. I've been there to supper." "What!"
Bring the chops!" The parlour-maid vanished. The boy laid down his knife and fork, and looked fixedly and inquisitively on Kenelm. Kenelm, unheeding the look, placed the last chop on the boy's plate. "No more," cried the boy, impulsively, and returned the chop to the dish. "I have dined: I have had enough."
Out of doors the birds came hopping on to the apple-boughs; they twisted their heads inquisitively to one side, frantically fluffed out their feathers, and then they too joined in this orgy of jubilation, which was caused merely by a scrap of bright blue sky. But then the young master had an attack of coughing, and the whole business came to an end.
"He didn't tell you his business with the Duke?" asked Mitchington. "Not a word!" said the landlady. "Oh, no! just that, and no more. But here's Mr. Dellingham." Bryce turned to see a tall, broad-shouldered, bearded man pass the window the door opened and he walked in, to glance inquisitively at the inspector. He turned at once to Mrs. Partingley.
