"This is an outrage," said the man on the forecastle, who could not help seeing that the whole party were in a fair way to be annihilated if they made any further resistance. "I dare say it is, my friend," replied Mr. Pennant blandly, for he had been in the navy long enough to adopt the characteristic politeness which distinguishes its officers.
"This is most fortunate." "I see you are wrecked," returned Fairwell calmly. "Exactly, sir a very unfortunate affair truly. Will you rescue us?" "Anybody else on board?" "Yes, a lady to whom I am engaged to be married," and Crabtree smiled blandly. "Will you come on board?" "I guess I will," answered Fairwell. "Eh, Mr. Ruff?" "Yes," answered the detective, and leaped on the deck of the wreck.
Frank looked blandly and admiringly at his comrade, and was rather proud of him. There had never come so marked and agreeable a change over a boy as that manifested in the instance of Bob Upton within three days. There was still under the surface with Bob, when he met strangers, a certain suspicious element that had been engrafted in him.
"Now see here, my young friend," begged the Older Man blandly. "The fellow who goes about the world judging women by the sparkle of their eyes or the pink of their cheeks or the sheen of their hair runs a mighty big risk of being rated as just one of two things, a sensualist or a fool." "Are you trying to insult me?" demanded the Younger Man furiously.
"It is the kind of arrangement from which one draws one's own conclusions," said Mrs. Vavasour blandly. "But, I say, does Bower know this?" asked Wragg, swinging his eyeglasses nervously. Though he dearly loved these carpet battles, he was chary of figuring in them, having been caught badly more than once between the upper and nether millstones of opposing facts.
"Oh nothing," said Lewisham blandly, with his hand falling casually over his memoranda; "what's your particular little game?" "Nothing much," said Smithers, "just mooching round. You weren't at the meeting last Friday?" He turned a chair, knelt on it, and began whispering over the back about Debating Society politics. Lewisham was inattentive and brief. What had he to do with these puerilities?
"You mean you can manage him and he'll be all right tomorrow?" I said. "But what is it!" The Celestial shrugged. "Muchy devil maybe. Muchy moon-devil, plaps. Velly bad." "There's a knife in that umbrella, Li Ho." But though his eyes looked blandly into mine, I couldn't tell whether this was news to Li Ho or not.... Well, that's the story. I've written it down while it's fresh, sparing comment.
Sabin agreed with her blandly. "It is," he affirmed, "a most regrettable incident." She leaned a little towards him. The box was not a large one, and their chairs already touched. "Are you a jealous husband?" she asked. "Horribly," he answered. "Your devotion to Lucille, or rather the singleness of your devotion to Lucille," she remarked, "is positively the most gauche thing about you.
"This is a most bootiful business!" said Ibrahim, blandly. "My lord he has been away so long he will be glad to see us again." She looked at him, but he did not look at her. Turning a flower in his white teeth, he was gazing towards the river, with an unruffled composure which she felt almost as a rebuke. But why should it matter to him? Baroudi had paid him. Nigel paid him.
By the time Dick had come to that part of the poem, wherein the bard describes as blandly as though he were recording a dance at the opera, or a harmless bout of bucolic cudgelling at a village fair, that bloody and ruthless part of our campaign, with the remembrance whereof every soldier who bore a part in it must sicken with shame when we were ordered to ravage and lay waste the Elector's country; and with fire and murder, slaughter and crime, a great part of his dominions was overrun; when Dick came to the lines
