He neither cringed nor cowered, but scrutinized Farmer Cole's hired man with an alert gravity, as if demanding that he show his credentials. "Mis' Cole sent you over this here truck," Joe explained, "and she says she'll have Annie bring the bread, after she's through baking. Where d'you want this hen?"
"Thank God," said he, "we have always had the liberty in this country of making to friends or relatives what presents we liked, and methinks that things have come to a pretty pass when such trifles are scrutinized."
Len Dardus?" asked Foster, walking up to the counter, behind which this repelling creature stood. "That's my name," snapped the proprietor of the store, adding as he scrutinized his questioner closely: "What do you want?" "I want to know if you have a boy working for you by the name of Bob Chester." "I have, but I won't have after to-night, I can tell you.
Although master of himself, Monte Cristo, scrutinized with irrepressible curiosity the magistrate whose salute he returned, and who, distrustful by habit, and especially incredulous as to social prodigies, was much more despised to look upon "the noble stranger," as Monte Cristo was already called, as an adventurer in search of new fields, or an escaped criminal, rather than as a prince of the Holy See, or a sultan of the Thousand and One Nights.
Hawker said to the girl, "I I I shall miss you dreadfully." She turned to look at him and smiled. "Shall you?" she said in a low voice. "Yes," he said. Thereafter he stood before her awkwardly and in silence. She scrutinized the boards of the floor.

Looking up from his book, he scrutinized with unusual interest the young woman who had come before him after an absence of seven years. He was reflecting, perhaps, that, although she was unaware of the fact, he had played the part to her in an important crisis of a wise and beneficent Providence.
She was sitting in her father's chair, and on the window-sill they saw a young man lolling, who rose and stood stock-still, with an almost insolent expression on his broad, good-looking face. Lennan scrutinized him with interest about twenty-four he might be, rather dandified, clean-shaved, with crisp dark hair and wide-set hazel eyes, and, as in his photograph, a curious look of daring.
Then her voice rose above the monotone that had contented her hitherto. Into the music of her tones beat something sinister, evilly vindictive, as she faced about at the doorway to which Cassidy had led her. Her face, as she scrutinized once again the man at the desk, was coldly malignant. "Three years isn't forever," she said, in a level voice.
Once let him get up on his feet, his own master once more then it would be of use to talk. And talk he would some day. Also he would act. Meanwhile Red Pepper Burns came out of the house and scrutinized his friend and patient closely as he approached. "Want to go on, or shall I take you home?" he inquired. "Take me on anywhere everywhere! Something inside will break loose if you don't."
A Syrian would have starved rather than taste pigeon; an Egyptian would not have approached bacon: But if these species of food be examined by the senses of sight, smell, or taste, or scrutinized by the sciences of chemistry, medicine, or physics, no difference is ever found between them and any other species, nor can that precise circumstance be pitched on, which may afford a just foundation for the religious passion.
