Lady Merivale glanced sceptically at the speaker. Her faith in Jasper's sense of honour was not very strong. Then she gave a deep sigh. "Why, Eveline," said her husband, looking up, "you seem quite grieved. Not on your own account, I hope?"
"And did Sophia Antonovna agree with you?" I asked sceptically. "She did not say anything except, 'It is good for you to believe in love. I should think she understood me. Then she asked me if I hoped to see Mr. Razumov presently.
He was not very young, he was not very good-looking, but his voice and his eyes had been kind, and he had given Faith her first glimpse of the romance for which her youth had been unconsciously hungering. When she met Peg in the morning Faith told her what had happened. Peg listened sceptically; she seemed more impressed with Faith's fainting than with its sequence.
The next twelve or fourteen days are harder, though; there are more things to think of and more food to gather. And as for the last part of the time it demands all the care and labor that you will wish to expend." But Pierre only shrugged his shoulders sceptically. In the meantime the silkworms continued to thrive.
That leaves us two possibilities: either he knew what was going to happen or he had a reason of his own for his absence." "And that reason?" I asked sceptically. Poirot shrugged his shoulders. "How should I know? Discreditable, without doubt. This Mr. Inglethorp, I should say, is somewhat of a scoundrel but that does not of necessity make him a murderer." I shook my head, unconvinced.
"Well, if I go to Keldale armed with a card of introduction from you, to make enquiry about the shootings, I think I can undertake to turn the conversation on to other matters without exciting suspicion."

"That's the place for us!" Sommers exclaimed, gazing intently at the time-stained temple. Alves looked at the building sceptically, for woman-wise she conceived of only conventional abiding-places.
One day he asked Kathleen privately about this, but she merely confirmed Geraldine's diagnosis of the phenomenon: "Tears come into girls' eyes," she said, "and there isn't anybody on earth who can tell a man why, and he wouldn't comprehend it if anybody did tell him." "I'll tell you one thing," he said sceptically; "if Rose-beetles shed tears, I'd never rest until I found out why.
Don't know how on earth we shall get hold of it in this crowd. What an excuse me! an appalling set of girls!" "I thought so too, at first, but they look different when you know them. Some of them are sweet, and awfully pretty." "Humph!" said Harold, sceptically. "They are not conspicuous. I don't see a decent-looking girl anywhere, except who's the girl in the grey hat?"
