He trailed the torch behind him and the beast fell back several paces. The opening was now gained, and the youth ran out on the mountain side, which was covered with stubble and rocks. Glancing hastily around, Dick saw one rock that was both small and rather high and scrambled to the top of this. The bear gained the mouth of the cave and looked out suspiciously.
"My friend here does not know him, but I was in this part of Westchester visiting and having heard he was here thought I would drop in, just for old time's sake. That is all." "How did you know he was here?" asked the man suspiciously. "I heard indirectly from a friend of mine, Mrs. Pitts." "Oh." The man seemed to accept the explanation at its face value.
"You have swindled me SWINDLED me!" Her head stopped aching. The pains in her feet either ceased or she forgot them. In a suspiciously calm voice she said: "What do you mean?" "I mean that you are a swindler!" he shouted, banging one fist on the table and waving the other. She acted as though his meaning were just dawning upon her.

"Did you find it on the floor?" asked Miguel suspiciously. "I did."
We had an Englishman, Mr Stone, who acted as master of the Dove, and two other natives. Stone was a simple-minded, honest man. His principle was, if he received an order from a superior, to obey it. Therefore, as Mr Brand had directed him to continue beating up to windward till he returned on board, it never occurred to him to propose running away from our suspiciously dangerous neighbour.
His approach had been signalled by a scout at one of the windows, and he found the classes all in order and suspiciously industrious, and Jacker McKnight still sitting with his head sunk upon his arms a monument of sturdy resentment.

The German eyed him suspiciously for a moment, but, as he appeared about to sit down again, they turned their attention to the cards, which Chester dealt them. Suddenly Hal whipped out the revolver be had taken from the German officer earlier, and, taking a quick step forward, covered the two men.
"I'm making a little poem, now," she confided at last. "It's about you and me. It's a sort of a little prayer." Very, very softly she began to repeat.
