His duty being to keep the Grays' secrets, there was a leak somewhere in his own department. He quizzed subordinates; he made abrupt transfers, to no avail. Meanwhile, the Grays were taking the approaches to the main line of defence, which had been thought relatively immaterial but had been found shrewdly placed and their vulnerability overestimated.
This was my way of drawing Dora into a flirtation, my first attempt in that direction, though in my heart I had been making love to her for weeks I told her the story of my acquaintance with Matilda. She listened with non-committal interest, with an amused, patronizing glimmer of a smile "You did not fall in love with her, did you?" she quizzed me as she might Lucy
The rebel we quizzed yesterday says that there are five fords between the Warrenton pike bridge that's just ahead of us yonder at the end of the road we are on the last one is McLean's Ford, at the very knuckle of the elbow that is crooked toward us a mile west of where we were yesterday.
"Yes," replied Marjorie, shortly, bracing herself for what she felt would follow. She was not the only one who had seen the pin in Constance's possession. "Did Constance Stevens find it?" quizzed Jerry. "Yes." "Oh, then that's all right. I saw her wearing it this morning; and I'm not the only one who saw her, either.
We know that Arnold's mind dwelt on this aspect of his sad situation from the fact that he once quizzed a captured American to find out what the Americans would do with him if they took him prisoner. The soldier audaciously replied that they would "cut off the leg that had been wounded in the country's service and hang the rest of him!"
Miss Lucas laughed at her, and quizzed her so on her allowing a man to interfere in such sacred things as dress and cosmetics, that she came back irritated with her husband, and gave him a short answer or two. Then he asked what was the matter. "You treat me like a child taking away my very puff." "I treat you like a beautiful flower, that no bad gardener shall wither whilst I am here."
"Ah!" exclaimed the mate, laughing, in spite of Rose's frowns, as the manner in which the old sea-dog had quizzed his wife became apparent to him. "I see how it is you are quite right, ma'am I dare say The Rose In Bloom had all these masts, and some to spare." "Yes, sir I knew you would be satisfied.
That meant an end to our rides and walks and sails down the St. Lawrence and long evening talks; but I took my revenge by assuming the airs of a man of forty, at which Hamilton quizzed me not a little and his wife, Miriam, laughed. When I surprised them all by jumping suddenly from boyhood to manhood "like a tadpole into a mosquito," as my Uncle Jack facetiously remarked.
"Even when she told you in the first place what a er torment you were to us?" quizzed Cyril. "Yes," flashed Billy. "She was being kind to you, then." "Humph!" vouchsafed Cyril. For a moment no one spoke. Cyril's eyes were on Marie, who was nervously trying to smooth back a few fluffy wisps of hair that had escaped from restraining combs and pins.
He subjected the collegians to a rigid examination in Latin, quizzed them in physics and promised the whole company a course of lectures on astronomy. Perky strolled away in one direction; the Governor in another and Archie, left to his own devices, fumed at this desertion.
