In the ruined castle of her youth, and the falling in of banqueting hall and bower, the dungeon and torture-chamber appeared to have been left, or, to use her own metaphor, she had querulously complained to the parson that, "Accordin' to some folks, she mout hev bin the barren fig-tree e-lected to bear persimmums."
Look how worn she is and poorly, and look at her hands, and you men must feel how I feel. I don't ask you for myself. I don't want to go free on my own account. I am asking it for that woman yes, and for myself, too. I am playing to 'get back, gentlemen. I've lost what I had, and I want to get back; and," he cried, querulously, "the game keeps going against me.
Up on the bridge, three officers besides the captain stood with eyes fixed in grim concentration upon the dense curtains of mist which seemed to shut them off altogether from the outer world. Jocelyn Thew and Crawshay met in the companionway, a few minutes after breakfast. "I can see no object in the disuse of the hooter," Crawshay declared querulously.
Katherine was too honest a girl to pretend an interest where she felt none. She could not talk of architecture when she was thinking of a man and his fate.

I cried querulously, putting on my hat and moving to the door. My hand was on the knob turning it, when Tim said, "Mary has left the valley." It did not bother me much when he said that.

"Better walk on your hands for a while."
"I am afraid that will not be for some little time," she said. "Poor Jack. You surely remember he is lying ill?" "It is especially inconvenient just now," said Townshead querulously. "It has also been a sore point with me that a son of mine should hire himself out as a labourer. I am sorry I let him go, the more so because the work upon the ranch is getting too much for me."
The old man stopped him abruptly at the foot of the stairs. "Did any mail come for me on the noon train?" he demanded, querulously, a light of suspicion in his eyes. "Not that I know of," Mostyn answered. "It was not put on my desk, I am sure." "Well, some of it goes somewhere," Mitchell complained. "I know I don't see it all.
His face glowed, though, and the glow and strength gave to the huge misshapen features a grand repose. "You talk of To-Day," the old man continued, querulously. "I am tired of it. Here is its type and history," touching a county newspaper, "a fair type, with its cant, and bigotry, and weight of uncomprehended fact.
