His respect for his father was so little short of reverent awe, that he could take no step yet without John Harper's command. Quizzed by the police, questioned by the Chief, knowing himself dogged wherever he went, feeling certain that even his mail was no longer safe from prying eyes, he said always the same thing: "Some of you are fools, some liars! When Dad comes back . . ."
"Thank you for those glorious words of praise," was Dorothy's light retort. "You're welcome, but do hurry," urged Jane. "Where do we go from here?" quizzed Dorothy as they started down the drive. "I sha'n't tell you. Wait and see, Miss Impatience. This is a very mysterious journey."
All three waited, to see if one of the others wished to speak first. After waiting a moment or two Colonel Cleaves asked: "Captain Prescott, it was you who struck the knock-down blow, was it not?" "Yes, sir," Dick answered promptly, "though it followed a parry, and was more of a thrust than a blow." "You agree to that, Captain Cartwright?" quizzed the K.O. "Essentially so, sir."
Here, however, they knew better; and though the lawyer quizzed the doctor for never having another patient than the house dog, all of whose arteries he had tied in the course of the winter for practice and the doctor retorted as heavily, by showing that the lawyer's practice had been other than beneficial to those for whom he was concerned his one client being found guilty, mainly through his ingenious defence of him; yet they never showed any, the slightest irritation on the contrary, such little playful badinage ever led to some friendly passages of taking wine together, or in arrangements for a party to the "Dargle," or "Dunleary;" and thus went on the entire party, the young ladies darting an occasion slight at their elders, who certainly returned the fire, often with advantage; all uniting now and then, however, in one common cause, an attack of the whole line upon Mrs.
Unable to believe the school authorities, the old gentleman took the boy home and quizzed him. He gave an unsatisfactory account of himself and that night disappeared with a considerable sum of money. The police were notified, and a week later he was found in a house of the type so euphemistically called of "ill fame."
Seeing some little children far below in the village playing near the priest's school she laughed aloud. "They will surely say I am bewitched if they see me, and what a joke that would be! I am certain to be badly quizzed by the youngsters when I get home, for there is no such luck as to escape their sharp eyes while standing upon this hill-top.
"He's a disgrace," replied Josie. "Don't pay any heed to him, Arty! They'll cut up your verses soon enough, and they're just lovely." The others laughed, all talking at once, commending, criticising, comparing. Arty laughed and joked and quizzed, the liveliest of them all. Ned stared at him in astonishment. He seemed like somebody else.
There was no doubt that Tom was looking straight at Madge. "We are rowing over to the island," remarked Lillian graciously. "How strange! We were going over there, too, weren't we, Mr. Bolling?" quizzed Tom. "Then catch us if you can!" challenged Phyllis. With a sign to Madge the two girls began rowing their boat through the water with the speed of an arrow.
Shortpointz was hanging anywhere except on my arm. I did, indeed." "Ha! ha! ha! Poor Mrs. Shortpointz! And she was so full of you last night. The beau ideal of manly beauty! that was what she called you. She did indeed. Ha! ha! ha!" "She was very kind." "And then we all quizzed her about you; and Miss Finesse called her Lady Bertram. You can't think how funny we old women are when we get together.
Sanborn growled under his breath, and when some one else in the dugout quizzed him curiously he burst out: "I'll bet you galoots the state of California against a dill pickle that when your turn comes you'll be sick in your gizzards!" "We'll take our medicine," came in the soft, quiet voice of Purcell. No more was said.
