3 He repeated the question, with some surprise at her silence.
4 I can answer your question," said Fitzwilliam, "without applying to him.
5 Maria thought speaking out of the question, and the gentlemen did nothing but eat and admire.
6 She could not win him, however, to any conversation; he merely answered her question, and read on.
7 There was not much in the question, nor in the preceding remark; but there was a look and a manner which gave them meaning.
8 Darcy, after inquiring of her how Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner did, a question which she could not answer without confusion, said scarcely anything.
9 But he found, in reply to this question, that Wickham still cherished the hope of more effectually making his fortune by marriage in some other country.

17 A promise of secrecy was of course very dutifully given, but it could not be kept without difficulty; for the curiosity excited by his long absence burst forth in such very direct questions on his return as required some ingenuity to evade, and he was at the same time exercising great self-denial, for he was longing to publish his prosperous love.
