While we were curiously looking at the Tilden homestead, an old man came walking slowly down the road, a rake over his shoulder, one leg of his patched trousers stuck in a boot-top, a suspender missing, his old straw hat minus a goodly portion of its crown. He stopped, leaned upon his rake, and looked at us inquisitively, then remarked in drawling tone, "I know'd Sam Tilden." "Indeed!"
The only effect of this was to deepen the belief that she was very wealthy, and could spend her money without affectation; for it was noticeable that she, of all on board, showed the least outward excitement at the time of the disaster. It occurred to me that once or twice I had seen her eyes fixed on Hungerford inquisitively, and not free from antipathy.
Having some time to wait, she fell into a reverie from which the voice of a gentlemen aroused her by inquiring in a dignified manner in what way he could serve her. Clemence again went through with her explanations, blushing and stammering awkwardly enough, as the penetrating eyes fastened themselves curiously and inquisitively upon her face.
"I mean," said Shelton, "it's irritating to look at people who have n't a chance of success fellows who make a mess of things, fanatics, and all that." His neighbour turned his eyes inquisitively. "Er yes, quite," said he; "don't you take mint sauce? It's the best part of lamb, I always think."
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.
He was mending some article taken from his master's wardrobe. His elbow went busily to and fro as he plied the needle, while sprawling on the sod about him half a dozen gossoons watched him inquisitively. Perhaps it was the suggestive contrast between his diligence and their idleness which irritated Flavia; but she set down her annoyance to another cause.
Now she was struck by how this connection that she brought into the world would be an ongoing frittering away of her days. She cachinnated at her absurdity, which caused Mouse to jump on top of the washer and stare at this mad woman inquisitively. "Hi there, Mouse. Haven't you ever seen a woman laugh while doing the laundry before? You really must get a life." She chuckled at the cat.
But we may both have luck and land on a big circuit, and then we'll begin to get some real money." While talking, the little party had been walking at a brisk pace and now found themselves close to the theater. Many of the townspeople were going in the same direction, and most of these recognized the radio boys and looked inquisitively at their two companions.
Lend me one." The Scotsman's face lighted inquisitively, till he comprehended. Then he shook his head and started on again. Frona scrambled to her feet. "What's the matter?" "Nothing. Sit down." "But what is the matter?" Corliss put his hands on her shoulders and pressed her back. "Your feet. You can't go on in such shape. They're in ribbons. See!"
A window at the side of the house, all grown round with creepers, framed in a sweet girlish head which looked down from it inquisitively on the bustle in the street. Pontius did not notice it, but Arsinoe for it was her pretty face that looked out at once recognized the architect whom she had seen at Lochias and of whom Pollux had spoken as his friend and patron.
