You don't know what you're saying!" She quizzed him with a saucy look. "I didn't say anything, dear. I asked something." If eyeglasses shiver, so did James's. "Well, well you quibble. I dare say Urquhart has fifteen thousand a year, and even you will know that I haven't half as much." She quenched her eyes, and looked meek. "No, dear, I know. All right, he's quite rich.
"No, sir; picked them up along-shore." The Honourable Captain Ducie thought he was quizzed, and his manner became a little more cold, though it still retained its gentlemanlike tone. "I wish much to see you in private, sir, on an affair of some magnitude, and I greatly regret it was not in my power to speak you the night you left Portsmouth.
"Turkey?" quizzed the Lay Reader who had dined that day on corned beef. "Oh, of course, mush was what they were intended to have," admitted Flame. "Piles and piles of mush! Extra piles and piles of mush I should judge because it was Christmas Day!... But don't you think mush does seem a bit dull?" she questioned appealingly. "For Christmas Day? Oh, I did think a turkey would taste so good!"
Edna brought Florence and Maud Atherton back to dinner, and we had a very merry evening, playing all sorts of games. Mr. Sefton came into the drawing-room for a little while, but he did not stay long. I think the girls quizzed him, and made him uncomfortable.
And he bowed to her very neatly. Now I was never fond of being quizzed, and in that company I could not endure it. "We have a saying, sir," I said, "that the farmyard fowl does not fear the eagle. The men who look grave just now are not those who live snugly in coast manors, but the outland folk who have to keep their doors with their own hands."
Tresham could possibly be a bore, and yet the authorities in various green-rooms either said so in plain English or made him aware of the fact through every other sense but hearing. He felt himself to be politely or sarcastically quizzed. Stars ignored him; meaner lights gave him a bare tolerance. A few inquired if his grand relatives had yet forgiven him.
"Stop laying down rules and regulations," laughed Grace, "and let us form our secret row. I am eaten up with curiosity to know what Anne and Nora know." "Are you eligible?" quizzed Nora. "That is the important question. Anne, you must head the row. You began this session." Anne complied obediently. Nora sat down beside her. Grace stood eyeing Nora thoughtfully. Then her eyes sparkled.
It was almost indecent, this parade of his nonentity! She wanted to say, "Oh, hush! Those are the things one only enjoys never talks about." But instead, somewhere up at the top of her voice, she said: "Oh, we always lock up our silver!" "But even then," he quizzed her, "I wonder how you dare to do it?" He looked as if she had taken him by surprise; then laughed out.
The sage always examines a mystery before he decides upon it. My Masonic friend will be here at breakfast to-day: he promised me. Only wait for him. He can explain these things better than I, you will see. The little experiments with our noses and thumbs, you understand, are symbols Thummim and Urim, or something of that kind." "Or else nonsense. You have been quizzed, I fear."
The Legislature went through a pretense of investigating what public opinion regarded as a particularly atrocious outrage. Vanderbilt covered this committee with undisguised scorn; it provoked his wrath to be quizzed by a committee of a body many of whose members had accepted his bribes.
