...with much curiosity, indeed, urgency...

Herman Melville - The Confidence Man

http://www.online-literature.com/melville/confidence-man/7/

At an interesting point of the narration, and at the moment when, with much curiosity, indeed, urgency, the narrator was being particularly questioned upon that point, he was, as it happened, altogether diverted both from it and his story, by just then catching sight of a gentleman who had been standing in sight from the beginning, but, until now, as it seemed, without being observed by him.

does it mean with :"much curiosity, without a doubt, and urgency."
