Mary's to earn her living as a nurse, and would like to secure a situation. The doctor looked at her scrutinizingly. "Have you ever nursed?" "No, sir." "What do you know about it then?" "I have seen a great many sick people." "How was that?" Hetty hesitated, but with some confusion replied: "My husband was a doctor, and I often went with him to see his patients." "You are a widow then?"
It did not look crazy, with its Gaskell's Compendium copperplate and its careful signature. I don't know why I picked up the envelope from where it lay unnoticed on the table by Dudley and fiddled with it scrutinizingly, but I did. The outside of it looked all right, with its address in Thompson's neat copperplate.
Aunt Beatrice made no comment. She looked steadily and scrutinizingly at her niece, and in a kind but deepened voice told her to go up to her room, whither she, Lady Thomson, would follow in a few minutes, just to see how the Mantegnas looked now they were framed. As soon as the door had closed behind Mildred, she turned to Miss Burt. "You're right, in a way, Polly, after all.
In a less noble nature than Hetty's there would have grown up side by side with this pain a hatred of Rachel, or, at least, an antagonism towards her. In the fine equilibrium of Hetty's moral nature, such a thing was impossible. She felt from that day a new interest in Rachel. She looked at her, often scrutinizingly, and thought: "Ah, if she were but well, what a sweet young wife she might make!
"It looks terribly dangerous," he said at last, "but from all I have heard you've done some wonderful things, and if you can reach Logan in time, it will relieve us from this coil." "I can do it! I can do it!" said Henry eagerly. Colonel Clark looked at him long and scrutinizingly.
He checked himself, bent forward towards Gilbert, and looked at him scrutinizingly, making a shade of his two bony hands extended over his enormous eyebrows; then taking him by the arm, he led him to the embrasure of the window, and as if he had made a sudden change in his person which rendered him irrecognizable: "Nothing could be better than your throwing the scoundrel downstairs," said he, "and if he is not quite dead, I shall drive him from here without pity; but that you should have believed that I, Count Leminof Oh! it is too much, I dream No, you are not the Gilbert that I know, the Gilbert I love, though I conceal it from myself "
The Philosopher rolled over in the hammock, where he had been reposing on his back, his hands clasped under his head, and looked scrutinizingly at his friend. "Don't take it too hard," he counselled gently. "It's not worth it." "I know it," replied the Skeptic with another sigh. "But I wish I were worth millions." "Oh, no, you don't," argued the Philosopher.
But Fernand, instead of responding to this amiable gesture, remained mute and trembling. Edmond then cast his eyes scrutinizingly at the agitated and embarrassed Mercedes, and then again on the gloomy and menacing Fernand. This look told him all, and his anger waxed hot. "I did not know, when I came with such haste to you, that I was to meet an enemy here."
Give me the power to do so that I require, and you will never hear of me again." The baron hesitated for some few seconds, during which he looked scrutinizingly at his companion, and then he said, in a tone of voice that seemed as if he were making the remark to himself rather than to the other, "You look no older than you did when last we parted, and that was years ago."
He admired his little Evelyn, but no other face in the world upon which he was soon to close his eyes forever was quite so beautiful to him as Maria's. "You look very much as your own mother used to do," he said. "Was Maria's mamma prettier than my mamma?" asked Evelyn, calmly, without the least jealousy. She looked scrutinizingly at Maria, then at her father.
