'I burned all your wood, said I, 'to save your furniture from the damp; otherwise mushrooms would have sprung up on your embroidered cap, and on your glowworm robe de chambre that you wore so often while you were waiting for the little lady who quizzed you." A heavy plaintive groan from Alfred interrupted.
We left soon after, I think." "And then where did you go?" The lawyer made rapid notes as he quizzed her, and Billie stared in growing wonder. "Oh, we just traveled. I can recall a lot of places, but not their names; mining camps, and cattle towns and farming centers. Then we came here, when the boom first started, and Dad built the Blue Chip " The lawyer nodded as she faltered.
Moreover, he is quizzed and teased in all sorts of ways till he frees himself from further annoyance by treating the others to brandy or beer. These examples illustrate the contests in reaping, threshing, and binding which take place amongst the harvesters, from their unwillingness to suffer the ridicule and discomfort incurred by the one who happens to finish his work last.
A few days afterwards Newton accepted the colonel's invitation to dine, when he found that affairs were going on better than he expected.

"Just for one little thing, you're not telling us what happened to you last night after you let a lot of strange men chase you out of Dick's street." "They didn't chase me off the street!" declared Tom indignantly. "Then what did happen?" quizzed Danny Grin. "They all tried to beat me in a foot race," Tom declared, "and I put it all over them!"
We had each so many beds allotted to us, and it was our business to know everything about the patients who occupied them, to keep accurate "histories" of all developments, and to be ready to be quizzed and queried by our resident house physician, or our visiting consultant on the afternoon when he made his rounds, followed by larger or smaller crowds of students according to the value which was placed upon his teaching.
"Still, from my point of view, I wouldn't swap with you." "Just as bughouse on West Point and the Army as ever, are you?" quizzed Hazelton. "Just as much, and always will be," Dick nodded, beaming. "I can't share your enthusiasm," laughed Hazelton. "We've seen the Army in the West, and they're a lazy, little-account lot." Instead of getting angry, however, Dick and Greg laughed outright.
"If you attack the business of putting Harlowe House to rights with the same energy, I shall know exactly how you looked when you cleaned the cottage." "Perhaps you will," Elfreda grinned boyishly. "I hadn't thought of that." "You couldn't see that far ahead, could you?" quizzed Grace with twinkling eyes.
Again did Ralph wear a puzzled frown as he heard Bud make this significant remark. He must have wondered more than ever what it could possibly be that the other had conceived this time.
