I told him no, and that he had asked the same thing more than once.

Of course she would ask the difficult thing, the one that most needed answer.

So she asked the first thing that came into her mind.

It seemed as if he asked the same thing every other day.

Perhaps you might ask such things that I would not tell.

Mostly because she might then have asked the same thing of him.

She wanted to ask the same thing: Will we get out of this?

"I was going to ask the same thing of you."

But no one did, because I don't get asked things.

"I do not think it is well to ask such things."
