"I should say that it is worth from six to eight hundred dollars; you younkers have made purty good wages for to-day. I hope," he added quizzically, "you'll be able to keep it up." "And how have you made out?" asked Roswell. "Tim says he didn't come onto anything that looks like pay dirt; but I struck a spot that gives me hope. We'll locate here for a while."
Then, as the evening drew on, something about the schooner astern caused the mate to secretly regard his newly shipped watch and mate, and in turn made Bill Blunt make many a trip to the shelter of the galley whence he inspected his superior quizzically.
While he waited for the trickle to yield him a drink, he cocked his head sidewise and looked up quizzically at his "heavy." "You must have come within speaking distance, Gil," he guessed shrewdly. "Got any make-up along? You look like a mild case of the measles, right now. What did she have to say, anyhow?" "Nothing," said Gil shortly. "I didn't talk to her at all.
She looked at him doubtfully across the table. 'But where? she said. 'I don't know, he said. 'We'll just wander about for a bit. Again she looked at him quizzically.

"And only one cigar," added the mother. "Say, Molly, you keep closing in on me. Tobacco won't hurt me any, and I get a good deal of comfort out of it these days." "Two," smiled Nora. "But his heart!" "And what in mercy's name is the matter with his heart? The doctor at Marienbad said that father was the soundest man of his age he had ever met." Nora looked quizzically at her father. He grinned.
"Yuh better go and lay in yuah hammock, dearie," she suggested to Grace, "an' rest up a bit; I got a lot o' tidyin' up to do yeah." The room was already painfully clean and the man on the bed knit his brows quizzically. "I do want my hair curled 'n' my mustache waxed 'n' some ody-kolone on my hank-chy," he murmured plaintively.

"There you go again," remonstrated Harry Hazelton. "You'd better be careful, or Bad Pete will hear you."
From the engine-room a grimy stoker emerged. Rolling along, and scraping his bare feet audibly against the deck, he approached the boatswain's cabin, where the said boatswain, a fair-haired, fair-bearded man from Kostroma was standing in the doorway. The senior official contracted his rugged eyes quizzically, and inquired: "Whither in such a hurry?" "To pick a bone with Mitka." "Good!"
"Aw, I tell you this, then: I don't like what I see here, an' I like it less an' less ivry day." "What don't you like, Patsy?" asked the other quizzically. "I don't like the way the old fella watches that child he calls his wife. I don't like the young fella bein' the cause of the old man's watchin'." "What has happened? What has he done?" asked the Young Doctor a little anxiously.
