The girl raised the lantern above her head in order to scrutinize the two strangers; doubtless their appearance and air of respectability reassured her, for she replied, in a milder voice: "Well, that does not depend on me I am not the mistress here, but come in, all the same Mamselle Reine can not be long now, and she will answer for herself."
There was something so awful so appalling in this strange conduct on the part of the nuns, that Flora began to doubt whether she were not laboring under some terrible delusion. She feared lest her senses were leaving her: and, covering her face with her hands, so as to close her eyes against external objects, she endeavored to look inward, as it were, and scrutinize her own soul.
"Yes; it's just as well that I should know. I'll leave a copy." Something in his accent made her scrutinize him. "You're going into danger!" she cried. "Danger? No; I think not. Difficulty, perhaps. But I think it can be put through." "If it were dangerous, you'd do it just the same," she said, almost accusingly. "It would be worth some danger now to get you away from greater danger later.
He had to pass near her in order to reach the kitchen door, or else make a detour which his pride would not permit.

"What makes her so 'down in the mouth'?" he queried.
He gazed at them for a long time, and then he looked across the dotted red valley up to the vast ridgy steppes, toward the black plateau and beyond.

A little sand had blown into the depressions, and some of it was wet and some of it was dry.

Soames walked across to the "Country" box on his right, and affected to scrutinize the addresses on the envelopes of Mrs. Leroux's correspondence. Gianapolis, on the pretense of posting a country letter, reached out and snatched the correspondence from Soames' hand. The gaze of his left eye crookedly sought the face of the butler. "Go home!" whispered Gianapolis; "be cautious!"
I've hit the right nail, isn't it an excellent and most transmigratory art? Then begin with Cheetham. By-the-bye, the Anomaly has spotted a defective grindstone there. Scrutinize all his departments severely; for no man values his people's lives less than my good friend John Cheetham. Away with you both; and God speed you."
Besides, why should he have tasked himself to scrutinize the beautiful sites in Spain which formed the appropriate setting of his poetic happiness? Could he not always find them again through the descriptions of his inspired companion?
Gray and Middlemas himself were both silent on the subject, he knew little of it but from general report, which his curiosity had never induced him to scrutinize minutely. Nevertheless, what he did apprehend interested him so much, that he resolved upon trying a little experiment, in which he thought there could be no great harm.
