Utterly confounded to have missed a second time, with so fair a shot, I stood half confused a moment, first querying whether something was not the matter with my eyes, and then thinking of stories I had heard of witches turning away bullets from their object.
She seated, herself at the piano and her slim, nervous hands wandered soundlessly a moment above the keys. Then a wailing minor melody grew beneath them unsatisfied, asking, with now and then an ecstasy of joyous chords that only died again into the querying despair of the original theme. She broke off abruptly, humming the words beneath her breath.
And Gilian could not release his arm from her restraint. "Is there, Auntie?" said he. "Perhaps. And still I could not name it. Come, come, what's the sense of querying a man upon his moods?" "A man!" said Miss Mary. "On the verge at least," said he, with a confidence he had never had in his voice before, taking a full breath in his chest. "A man!" said she again.
Intensely interested were they in the World War, querying minutely into its causes, its effects. In our weapons their interest was avid. And they were exceedingly minute in their examination of us as to the ruins which had excited our curiosity; their position and surroundings and if others than ourselves might be expected to find and pass through their entrance! At this I shot a glance at Lugur.
For this is in your power to act well the part assigned to you; but to choose that part is the function of another." I lay thoughtful, querying. Was I a rich man, or a poor man?
Her round, white arms, bared almost to the shoulder, seemed designed as a sculptor's model rather than to wield the brush with which she scoured the paint and woodwork; but she thought not of sculpture except in the remote and figurative way of querying, with mind far absent from her work, how best she could carve their humble fortunes out of the unpromising material of the present and the near future.

When her jewelled watch indicated that the time for dinner or supper was near, she would make the most bewitching of toilets, and laugh at herself for doing so, querying, "What is the use of conquering one over and over again who is already helpless at your feet?"
It requires capital." "True, very true; but I think we can arrange that. Perhaps your father could give you a start, judging from what Captain Homes says." "I suppose that he might if he was so disposed; but I doubt whether he would do it." Benjamin was querying, as he spoke, whether Captain Homes had disclosed the fact of his being a runaway.
I evaded the question by querying if he was always so quiet and good-tempered. "Oh dear, no. He is considered a particularly bad-tempered man. Not one of the snarling nasty tempers, but " Here the re-entry of the owner of the temper put a stop to this conversation. Harold gave O'Doolan rides on his back, going on all-fours.
Their example soon becomes contagious, and group after group chimes in with the uproarious chant. Listen! From the farthest extremity of the encampment comes a querying solo: "De todos los Generales cual es el valiente?" and from five hundred throats the response is thundered: "Mi General Paez con toda su gente!" Again the solo demands: "De todos los Generales cual es el major?"
