There came a zigzag flash of lightning searing his brain, a crash that filled the world for him and he floated into unconsciousness. Lane came back painfully to a world of darkness. His head throbbed distressingly. Querulously he wondered where he was and what had taken place. He drew the fingers of his outstretched hand along the nap of a rug and he knew he was on the floor.
Bell cowered lonely and sad by her fireside. Now and then she asked querulously for Mercy, but no Mercy, real or imaginary, ever came near her; and then her old mind would wander off from the land of Beulah, where she really lived, right across to the Celestial City at the other side of the river. Mrs. Bell was too old and too serene to be rendered really unhappy by Lydia's harsh ways!
I am not so unjust as to want you to do what you can't do! said Mrs Gibson, querulously. 'But where's the ingratitude, mamma? I am very much tired, and perhaps that makes me stupid; but I cannot see the ingratitude. Cynthia spoke very wearily, leaning her head back on the sofa-cushions, as if she did not much care to have an answer.
Prince bears his first name, and he bears me;" lowering her voice and turning away. "A very pleasant arrangement, no doubt," querulously. "Very pleasant to me," very sweetly.

"Make them go away!
While Gilbert waited thus he heard voices in a room at the back the shrill tones of the sallow young man and a feeble old voice raised querulously and then, after a delay which seemed long to his impatience, the young man reappeared and told him Mr. Nowell was ready to see him.
"I never feared a horse yet," I said with perfect truth, "nor do I fear this one, though I know he may kill me." "I'll lay you twenty pounds you have at least one bone broken, and ten that you are killed," Baltimore puts in querulously, from the doorway. "I'll do this, my Lord," I answered. "If I ride him, he is mine. If he throws me, I give you twenty pounds for him."
To her confusion, no answering gleam illumined the young man's darkling eyes. "Struck home!" he exclaimed, shaking his head querulously. "Perhaps but where? Do you perchance make a mock of me, Mistress Mistress ?" She replied to the inquiry in his manner and tone with disappointment in her voice: "Mistress Mary Burton, sir, at your service."
The children were quarrelling at the well, and the sound of blows could be heard. Calves were querulously calling for their milk, and little turkeys, lost in a tangle of grass, were piping plaintively. The sun just setting struck through a long, low rift, like a boy peeping beneath the eaves of a huge roof.
"Well! I ask you this now. To-morrow morning I go to Liverpool to see her who is as my wife. Dear mother! will you bless me on my errand? If it please God she recovers, will you take her to you as you would a daughter?" She could neither refuse nor assent. "Why need you go?" said she querulously, at length. "You'll be getting in some mischief or another again.
