"No, there's nothing particular weighing me down," I lied flatly. "Anyway, I don't aim to unload my personal troubles on you. I came over here to acquire a little information. How came you away up here by your lonesome, and what brought your father and old Hans " Her purple-shaded eyes widened, each one a question-mark. "Who told you that Hans was up North?
Again she had given an unexpected turn to the subject with the usual convincing question-mark. "But what can I do?" he demanded, letting himself go a little. Betty Jo steadied him with: "Well, suppose you listen while I consider? Did I tell you that 'considering' was another of my strong points, Mr. Burns? Well, it is. You may consider me while I consider, if you please.
She assigned the possible cause, though not directly Mrs. Nailor rarely did things directly. She was a small, purring lady, with a tilt of the head, and an insinuating voice of singular clearness, with a question-mark in it. She was of a very good family, lived in a big house on Murray Hill, and had as large a circle of acquaintance as any one in New York.
"What is this little question-mark after the name of the island for?" I asked, pointing to the map. "That means that the island's position in the ocean is not known very exactly that it is somewhere ABOUT there. Ships have probably seen it in that neighborhood, that is all, most likely. It is quite possible we shall be the first white men to land there.
The 132d to remain! He, too, had a question-mark in his secret mind. Westerling proceeded with his mathematics. Having heavily shaded the tens, he essayed a sum in division. He found that ten went into seventy just seven times. "One-seventh the allotted span of life!" he mused.
There was a general movement of surprise among the men in the office, and all eyes, with a question-mark visible in them, were turned towards Octavius Buzzby. Upon him, the simple announcement had the effect of a shock; he felt the need of air, and slipped out to the veranda, but not before he received another bright smile from the little girl.
He leaned out of the buggy and called to a boy who was running past. "Jimmy Reed! What's the matter?" Jimmy, breathless and hatless, his whole figure one huge question-mark, exploded like a bunch of fire-crackers. "That you, Sandy? Ricks Wilson's broke jail and shot Judge Hollis. It was at half-past five. Dr. Fenton's been out there ever since. They say the judge can't live till midnight.
"I'm willing to gamble twenty thousand dollars." "You will?" cried Uncle Henry. There was no quieting him. His life was one long question-mark. "It's a fair proposition, and, as far as I can see, your only way out, Jones." He had paid no attention to the old man's interruption. But the latter broke in once more: "Why don't you lend us the ten thousand and let us gamble?"
That little movement, the unconscious feminism of it, the way she folded her hands in her lap afterward, disturbed Carrigan even more. What a glory on earth it must be to possess a woman like that! The thought made him uneasy. And she sat waiting, a vivid, softly-breathing question-mark against the warm coloring of the upholstered chair.
I tell you, the talking that's been going on in Yorkburg in the last few days would fill a barrel of books. By the end of the week a whole lot more will be known about Uncle Parke than he knows about himself. If Yorkburg had a coat of arms it ought to be a question-mark.
