She wondered to find herself so happy; wondered what the charm was which made life so new and sweet, which made her open her eyes on the morning sunshine with such a glad eagerness to greet the beginning of another day, and filled up every hour with such a perfect sense of contentment. She wondered at this happiness only in a vague dreamy way, not taking much trouble to analyse her feelings.
He wondered, for the first time, if this might be the reason for his rather indifferent success. "Do you give them the same stuff, or have you got a rep?" "A rep?" he repeated in surprise. "Sure, repertory different acts entries, some calls 'em. Uncle Toby's got twenty-seven entries. It makes a heap of difference in the big towns where you have a run."
'As brilliant, as hard, and as dangerous as a piece of broken glass. He wondered why he had been attracted by this bit of coloured glass; he laughed at his folly and went home certain that he could lose her without pain.
Lanrivain had said; and I was overcome by the almost blasphemous frivolity of suggesting to any living being that Kerfol was the place for him. "Is it possible that any one could NOT see ?" I wondered. I did not finish the thought: what I meant was undefinable. I stood up and wandered toward the gate.

I wondered whether she had broken to him in a letter the news of her engagement, or whether she had left it for him to discover by accident.
Not a word was spoken; William himself was silenced as he watched the strange phenomenon. And I have often wondered since at the quality of that courage in an otherwise shrinking country woman which could cause her to rise, take the service out of the preacher's hands as serenely as if she had been sent from God. And this is what she really believed.
Dunn wore a neat chauffeur's costume, with which, however, his bearded face did not go too well. He felt indeed that their whole turn-out was far too conspicuous considering the real nature of their errand, and far too likely to attract attention, and he wondered if Deede Dawson's subtle and calculating mind had not for some private reason desired that to be so.
Perhaps it merely meant the doctor was thinking of moving to another part of Cannes; she had more or less wondered why he had chosen the Route de Grasse. As for Lady Clifford, whether her symptoms were prompted by hysteria or not, she kept her bed for two days, frequently visited by the doctor.
