As became their service, I found these gentry anything but amiable; they had commonly an air of ennui, and regarded a stranger with surly suspicion. When I was back again among the high new houses, my eye, wandering in search of any smallest point of interest, fell on a fresh-painted inscription: was well meant.
Lord Roxmouth glanced at him curiously from time to time with growing suspicion and disfavour.
"I'll see him again, and offer him the job. I'm pretty sure he'll take it, as I said. I have a suspicion that, within six months, he'll be a lot saner than most people around. The ordinary man doesn't realize what a job of rechecking present techniques can do and Wade is, naturally, getting a very thorough overhaul.
I worked hard, and worked uncomplainingly; but my mother's fatal legacy was against me from the first. My personal appearance excited remark; my manners and habits were not the manners and habits of the women among whom my lot was cast. I tried one place after another always with the same results. Suspicion and jealousy I could endure; but I was defenseless when curiosity assailed me in its turn.

"I will make it clear that the denunciation was false by making a thorough search," he went on in a gentle voice; "my report shall be such that you will be safe from any subsequent suspicion. I shall make mention of your patriotic gifts, your civism, and all of us will be safe." Mme. de Dey, fearful of a trap, sat motionless, her face afire, her tongue frozen.
The second source of his uneasiness he did not acknowledge even to himself, and yet it was the more powerful: it was a suspicion a strong suspicion, though he had met Basterga but twice that in parleying with the scholar he was dealing with a man for whom he was no match, puff himself out as he might; and who secretly despised him.
"Ay!" answered Hokosa, grinding his teeth, "it is true that he has read me; but this I promise you, that all books shall soon be closed to him. Yet how is it to be done without suspicion or discovery? I know many poisons, but all of them must be administered, and let him work never so cunningly, he who gives a poison can be traced."
