I never "go behind" Miriam; only poor Sherringham goes, a great deal, and Nick Dormer goes a little, and the author, while they so waste wonderment, goes behind them: but none the less she is as thoroughly symbolic, as functional, for illustration of the idea, as either of them, while her image had seemed susceptible of a livelier and "prettier" concretion.
I was kneeling by her, my arm under her neck, in the act of raising her head, when she opened her eyes, and fastened them, full of wonderment, upon my face. A moment more, her memory returning to her, she made a little movement, as if to free herself. I was too excited then to heed it, and continued to support her head.
"She seemed to think," Maria answered, "that he might have gone away with YOU." "And did you tell her I know nothing of him?" She had her indulgent headshake. "I've known nothing of what you know. I could only tell her I'd ask you." "Then I've not seen him for a week and of course I've wondered." His wonderment showed at this moment as sharper, but he presently went on.

She was mystically shaken and at his mercy; and had he said then, 'Over to the other land, away from Venice! she would have bent her head. She asked his permission to rouse her brother and madame, so that they should not miss the scene.
There seemed to be magic in the touch of Vona's caressing palm on the stricken man's forehead; the words she was murmuring in his ear were stirring his faculties.

I told him I did and he got one and tied it to the end of the coach tongue, then put two lariats on the tongues of each coach, leaving a string about sixty feet long much to the wonderment of the passengers motioned for me to mount the seat and take up my whip.
She takes Conning into her confidence a horrible malady just covered by high-neck dress! Skin! and impossible that she can tell her engaged who is guess Mr. George Up ! Her name is Louisa Carrington. There was a Louisa Harrington once. Similarity of names perhaps. Of course I could not let her come to the house; and of course Miss C. is in a state of wonderment and bad passions, I fear.
"I have," answered Triffitt, who was full of wonderment. "Good good! couldn't be better!" murmured the detective. "Now then I dare say you'd be quite pleased if I called on you at your flat quietly and unobtrusively at say seven o'clock tonight, eh?" "Delighted!" answered Triffitt. "Of course!" "Very good," said Davidge. "Then at seven o'clock tonight I shall be there. In the meantime not a word.
Now it was a wonderment to Mushrat, to hear the sound of Rainbow Pete's old flute dropping from the dark ledge, by night, when they were taking their opinion of matrimony up there together, with a candle at the window.
The beaming glance terrified him with the terror of wonderment.
