Then he lit the lamp and unscrewed his fountain-pen. "My dear wife " That was how he always began, whether in storm or sunshine. Nellie always began, "My darling husband," but he was not a man to fling "darlings" about. Few husbands in the Five Towns are. He thought "darling," but he never wrote it, and he never said it, save quizzingly.
A friend of mine who is intimate enough with me to guess my secrets, said to me quizzingly the other day: "Do you know 'Alpha of the Plough?" "I have never seen the man," I said promptly and unblushingly. He laughed and I laughed. "What, never?" he said. "Never," I said. "What's more, I never shall see him." "What, not in the looking-glass?" said he.
As she expected, Henry Rayne was much weakened by the effort and refused to speak or take any nourishment for the rest of the afternoon. He dozed lazily and languidly until nine o'clock, and then waking somewhat refreshed, he turned towards Jean d'Alberg, who sat knitting by his side, and smiled pleasantly. "I hope I see you in a better humor than before, you dear old bear," she said quizzingly.
He held out his hand and shook Ned's warmly, giving a strong, clinging, friendly grip, not waiting for any introduction. "Of course, this is Mr. Hawkins, Nellie?" he enquired, seriously, turning to that young woman, whose hands he took in both of his while looking quizzingly from Ned to her and back to Ned again. "Yes, of course," she answered, laughing. Ned laughed.
Climbing up on his father's knee, Bert pressed a plump cheek lovingly against the lawyer's brown whiskers and looked, what indeed he was, the picture of happy content. "What sort of a man are you going to make, Bert?" asked Mr. Lloyd, quizzingly, the previous conversation being still in his mind. "I'm going to be a fireman," replied Bert, promptly; "and Frankie's going to be one too."
"Oh, since I praised my champion, you have a right to praise yours. But he will get the worst in that little encounter." "Why so? "Because my sprightly aunt forgets the very names of her conquests when once she has thoroughly made them." "She will never make this one; my brother carries an armor against coquettes." "Ay, indeed; and pray what may that be?" inquired Lucy, a little quizzingly.
Jan tried his best to growl and to turn up his nose at the same time, indicating serious preoccupation with matters more weighty than play. But finding that his hold upon the mouse was gravely endangered by this process, he gave up the attempt, and swaggered on toward the front entrance, followed quizzingly by the wolfhound.
Spizey moved ponderously into the box in all the glory of his time-honoured livery. He looked very big, and very consequential, and unusually glum. Meeking, who was not a Hathelsborough man, glanced quizzingly at Spizey's grandeur and at the cocked hat which Spizey placed on the ledge before him. "Er you're some sort of a Corporation official, aren't you, Spizey?" he suggested.
"Not a bit, cousin," said the Marquis, looking quizzingly at me. "I could not make such good play with the gun against a fort gable at so many feet," said I. "You could, sir, you could," said John Splendid in an easy, offhand, flattering way, that gave me at the start of our acquaintance the whole key to his character.
