"Yes, but " replied I. "You remember the hare and the hatter in Alice in Wonderland. 'Why? said the hare. 'Why not? said the hatter. A sensible man does not interrogate life; he lives it." "H'm," retorted Woodruff. And we went on with the game, shuffling, dealing, staking.
He propounded questions to Jorgenson much as a magician would interrogate an evoked shade, or gave him curt directions as one would make use of some marvellous automaton. And that was apparently the way in which Jorgenson preferred to be treated. Lingard's real company on board the Emma was d'Alcacer.
Love and amusement ruled the entire court; it was the period when ladies would seriously interrogate their ruder companions as to their opinions upon a foot more or less captivating, according to whether it wore a pink or lilac silk stocking for it was the period when Charles II. had declared that there was no hope of safety for a woman who wore green silk stockings, because Miss Lucy Stewart wore them of that color.
One of Johnny's favourite feats was to march Yank and me up to a bar, face us, and interrogate us according to an invariable formula. We must have presented a comical sight I with my great bulk and round, fresh face alongside the solemn, lank, and leathery Yank; both of us drawn up at attention, and solemn as prairie dogs. "How much is one twentieth of two thousand thousand?" inquired Johnny.
My apology to those who interrogate me is this, Have we not power to eat and drink? Have we not power to carry about with us a sister wife, as do also the other apostles, even the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? or I alone and Barnabas, have we not power to forbear labour?

I long to come to close quarters with him. He ridiculed me, taunted me, said I knew nothing we will see, we will see." "In fact, you wish to interrogate him yourself. Very well. Let us have him in."
And nevertheless, when I looked keenly at Hunt, it seemed to me that a sort of radiance of truth shone out of his eyes: Then I set to work to interrogate the man, putting to him precise and pressing questions which he tried to answer categorically, as we shall see, and not once did he contradict himself. “Tell me,” I asked, “did Arthur Pym really come to Tsalal Island on board the Grampus?”
It was the ensign who gave this information he who had been superseded in his command by Henri himself, as Henri had been by the duke. The prince fancied he detected a slight irritation in this man's mind against Du Bouchage; therefore he continued to interrogate him. "But," said he, "what was the comte's reason for soliciting so earnestly such a poor command?"
But according to you, when my eternal happiness is involved, have I not the right to examine God's own conduct? It is but with the hope of happiness that men submit to the empire of a God. A despot to whom men are subjected but through fear, a master whom they can not interrogate, a totally inaccessible sovereign, can not merit the homage of intelligent beings.
In two hours and a half, he arrived at the gates of the city, dying with hunger and fatigue, but determined to interrogate every sentinel, and find out by what gate a man had entered with two horses.
