And who knows but what there might be a stray wildcat abroad in those woods.
And when I've finished the ninth time I'm to turn around nine times, from right to left, and then the wish will come true right away." "Do you expect to see Pat when you finish turning?" said Dan skeptically. None of us had any faith in the incantation except Peter, and, by infection, Cecily. You never could tell what might happen.
He had fled to Dane's cabin where he had taken refuge on the bunk and snarled wild eyed when anyone looked in from the corridor. "Queex has to do it," Rip said. "But will it hunt unless it is hungry?" He surveyed the now comatose creature skeptically.
"You'll find neither Lindley nor your father are going to think so," he returned skeptically. She gave him a deep, sweet look. "But I mustn't be disappointed in you," she said, with the suggestion of a tremor in her voice, "whatever they do! You'll take my advice, won't you Wade?"

"He hain't no notion o' doin' that," asserted the old woman contemptuously. "Ketch him improvin' anybody else's water right. We're nothin' to him but sticks to boil his pot. What's he up to now?"

"Hymn to Adversity," supplied the doctor, who was better read in the poets than the younger generation. He added, skeptically, "Could you, though, do any such thing? Wouldn't it run you, once you got to going?" "Well, if worst came to worst " began Rankin, then changing front, he began again: "My great-aunt " The doctor fell back in his chair with a groan and a laugh.

"They're hid by my braids," went on Jane, "but they're there. And I seen you throw away that medicine, you bad girl!" Again she leaned to examine the coffee-cup.
Clancy asked skeptically. "Wynn and Katz are trying to beat me out of my share of the fifteen thousand," was the reply. "If I help you, Clancy, maybe, between us, we can beat out the pair of them. What do you say?" Clancy had no confidence whatever in Burton. "I'm willing to hear what you've got to say, Burton," he said, "but whether I believe you or not, is another question."
"If you dream of falling and DON'T wake you DO land with a thud and it kills you. That's what happens to people who die in their sleep." "How do you know?" asked Dan skeptically. "Nobody who died in his sleep could ever tell it." "My Aunt Jane told me so," said Peter. "I suppose that settles it," said Felicity disagreeably.
