Well, there are grounds, after all, on which I'm glad," she rather inscrutably added. "Oh I was conscientious about that! But I've no authority; I can neither drive him nor stay him I can use no force," I explained. "Look at the way he's pulling that boat and see if you can fancy me."
Bear wid Yorke as best ye can divilmint an' all for my sake, will yeh?" Not devoid of a certain simple dignity was the grim, rugged face that turned appealingly to the younger man's in the light of the moon. And Redmond, smiling inscrutably into the deep-set, glittering eyes, answered as simply: "I will, Sergeant!" He declined an offer. "Nemoyah! For some unaccountable reason, Slavin smiled also.
"What's frightening you away like this?" asked Heyst, while through his mind flashed the hope that something enlightening might come from that being so unlike himself, taking contact with the world with a simplicity and directness of which his own mind was not capable. "Why?" he went on. "You are used to white men. You know them well." "Yes. Me savee them," assented Wang inscrutably.

You know you can doctor a lot of things besides the human anatomy.
"Certainly it must be done by somebody; but not always by the same person." "It's about all I'm fit for." He looked at her with half-shut eyes, inscrutably. Presently she raised her head.
