Further, after the way you have tricked that man, I'd think you'd draw off and leave them alone. You can't do a thing like that twice. For an instant the look in her eyes was baffling. Then there shot through the inscrutability of it a sudden gleam of malice that was like a spurt of flame. It was the fire which before now Howard's attitude had kindled there.
They'll owe us a grudge. 'The Griffin' was bad enough before, but she'll be worse than ever now." They scanned the old housekeeper's face narrowly next morning, as she carried the coffee into the dining-room, but her countenance wore its accustomed aspect of grim inscrutability.
Something caught in Annie's throat, terrified her. This old black woman, with her remoteness, her pitying wise eyes, what did she mean? Annie wanted terribly to ask her. But how begin? How get through this wall of inscrutability which the black and yellow races have raised for their protection? She fluttered nearer to the old woman.
They looked at each other steadily. Then, for the first and only time, the black and white mask of Jimmy's inscrutability melted away. In his left eye appeared a faint glimmer. Then the left eyelid slowly descended.

For it was part of Jack's seeming inconsistency, emphasizing his inscrutability, that he would never wear his revolver.
But I came by the night train and went to sleep and only woke up to find myself just in time for the fag-end of lunch." "I am host," said I. "Won't you join us?" What else was there to do? She glanced at me with smiling inscrutability. "You're awfully kind, Tony. But I'm disturbing you."
