"Sir, I've asked you now several times to be quiet," he said.

Sir, I asked you to marry me quite some time back.

"Sir," he asked him, "where did you get such an idea as that?"

"Sir, you asked me a question, and I tried to answer it, with the reasons to back up my answer."

"Sir, several other officers asked questions ahead of time, which sent me in the right directions."

"Sir," said the young man, "the Lady has asked to see you."

Sir," he continued, "you asked me what I would take.

"Sir, you asked them if they had anything to say, and they didn't."

"Sir, I must ask - will we be learning our new mission soon?"

"Sir, I must ask you to go with us back to the village."
