Womanlike, she began probing. "Glad you liked my valley," she said. "We are told that blue is a wonderful aura to surround a person, and it's equally wonderful when it surrounds a whole valley. With the blue sky and the blue walls and a few true-blue friends I have there, it's naturally a very dear spot to me." "Yes," said Mr. Snow, "I can see that it is. I ran down on a business matter.
Now the trail of rocks led us within two feet of the chasm’s edge; we approached it cautiously, probing well for a rock foundation, and gazing with dizzy heads into the abyss. The slope became steeper and steeper, until it abutted in an almost precipitous cliff coated with snow and glistening ice.
So Roger Chillingworth—the man of skill, the kind and friendly physician—strove to go deep into his patient's bosom, delving among his principles, prying into his recollections, and probing everything with a cautious touch, like a treasure-seeker in a dark cavern. Few secrets can escape an investigator, who has opportunity and license to undertake such a quest, and skill to follow it up.
Alymer was silent too, standing with the thoughtful expression on his face that was so attractive, probing a little nervously into that wish he had expressed, and wondering a little uncertainly just what it meant. Then Lorraine got up. "You are grave, mon ami; and it is the springtime. Grave thoughts are for the autumn of life recklessness better becomes the joyful spring."
Crothers did her share filling in for Ethel the picture of Joe's old life, his work and dreams, and his first marriage. She told of several meetings with Amy.

Then the last question of the little girl popped up into his head, and without waiting to catch his breath, or to give his mother time to think up a suitable answer, he blurted it out.
I looked at these drunk young fools, and thought that maybe, in less than an hour, one of them might be standing over me, probing a bullet wound in one of my legs, and then and there promptly deciding the question whether the leg should be sawed off, or whether it could be saved.
He even took to probing the darkness in a strange hope to catch the glimmer of the eyes of Donnegan as he moved to the attack. If there were a hair's breadth of light, then Donnegan himself must go down. A single blow would do it. But the devil had instructed his favorite Donnegan how to fight. He did not come lunging through the shadows to meet the point of that knife.
They had reached the threshold when Denys cried "Halt!" "What is't?" "Here be bottles in this corner; advance thy light." The torch-bearer went towards him. He had just taken off his scabbard and was probing the heap the landlord had just been crouched upon. "Nay, nay," cried the landlord, "the wine is in the next cellar. There is nothing there."
Now Talboys, spurred by uncle, had often all but popped; only some let, hindrance, or just impediment had still interposed: once her pony kept prancing at each effort he made towards Hymen; they do say the subtle virgin kept probing the brute with a hair pin, and made him caracole and spill the treacle as fast as it came her way. However, now Talboys elected to pop by sea.
