Wynn," he said with quiet emphasis, and forthwith I plunged into my story, refraining only from any allusion to Anne's connection with Cassavetti's murder. That, I was determined, I would never mention to any living soul; determined also to deny it pointblank if any one should suggest it to me. He listened with absorbed interest, and without any comment; only interposing a question now and then.
The least thing you can do is to take some interest in his death. She put up her hands to her eyes, as though to drive away the sight of hateful things. 'Oh, why do you torment me? she cried pitifully. 'I tell you he isn't guilty. 'He's refused to answer anyone. I tried to get something out of him, but I couldn't, and I lost my temper. He might give you the truth if you asked him pointblank.
Green Breeks in the hospital had been asked to tell the name of the one who had struck him, but had refused pointblank, and none of either party could be found to tell. When the wounded leader heard of Walter's offer he refused to accept the money on the ground that such accidents were apt to happen to any one in battle, and that he did not need the money.
"How is your mother, dear?" asked Laura, with sympathy. "She is as well as can be expected," said Janet gravely. "If she had nothing to worry her mind she would be better in health," and she sighed. Janet did not explain what this worry was, and even Jess, blunt-spoken as she often was, could not ask pointblank what serious trouble Mrs. Steele had on her mind.

"They've been instructed, no matter what we do, to bring us to their master or masters alive." For a moment he toyed with the idea of drawing his weapon and firing pointblank into the enemy. He knew they would be compelled to take lives to escape and that the lives of all these people were forfeit anyway because of the havoc which had descended upon New York City.
A crash and a deep volley of oaths in French followed as the man pitched headlong over the chair on the dark steps. Kennedy whipped out his revolver and fired pointblank at the prostrate figure. I do not know what the ethics are of firing on a man when he is down, nor did I have time to stop to think. Craig grasped my arm and pulled me toward the door. A sickening odour seemed to pervade the air.
Lawrence's sneering aggressiveness brought him into his own element and he was hitting straight from the shoulder: refusing pointblank to mince matters. "I fancy I can," he returned calmly. "And now: is it not a fact that you despised Warren even though you pretended to be his friend?" "That, too, is my business, Carroll. Do you think I'm going to feed pap to you?"
There was no spotting the flashes of the Browns' guns in order to reply to them, for they were under the cover of a hill, using indirect aim as nicely and accurately as In firing pointblank.
