Again he raised his hat, but this time Dirke was on his guard and was not to be betrayed into any concession to courtesy. There was a slight shrug of the shoulders as the Frenchman replaced his hat. He spoke, however, in a conciliatory tone: "It is a fine evening," he observed. "I have followed your example. I go for a walk." "You have followed me, you mean," said Dirke, bluntly.
"Say, Morton," put in Duane, "Laramie gave me a hunch you'd be a good man to tie to. Now, I've a little money and before I lose it I'd like to invest it in stock." Morton smiled broadly. "I'm on the square," Duane said, bluntly. "If you fellows never size up your neighbors any better than you have sized me well, you won't get any richer."
She told me to wait till the Princess Olga came back and tell her this." "Why did you not?" "Because Morley whispered that I was not to do so. I went away in another direction." "Then why do you tell now?" asked Ware bluntly. "I wish to be revenged on Denham," said Dane fiercely. "He treated me like a dog, and he shall be bitten by me. Curse him!" Olga walked to the door.
Walter Hine was troubled with doubts of quite another kind. "But you come in somewhere," he said, bluntly. "On'y I'm hanged if I see where." "Of course I come in, my young friend," replied Jarvice, frankly. "I or my executors. For we may have to wait a long time. I propose that you execute in my favor a post-obit on your uncle's life, giving me well, we may have to wait a long time.
Mo Shendish had leaped about her like a fox-terrier, and she had laughed, with difficulty restraining her tears. But to Phineas alone she told her whole story. He listened in bewilderment.

"She is a dear girl, and you are not half good enough for her," she said, stooping a little to the blaze. "I know that," he answered bluntly.
The reader will understand at once, and save me a world of moralising circumlocution, when he learns, bluntly and nakedly, that, among all my comforts and blessings, I was an infidel. I had not been without religious training; on the contrary, more than average pains had been bestowed upon my religious instruction from my earliest childhood.
When the simple ceremony was over, Frona kissed Lucile; but Lucile felt that there was a subtle something wanting, and her eyes filled with unshed tears. Trethaway, who had felt the aloofness from the start, caught an opportunity with Frona while Captain Alexander and Corliss were being pleasant to Mrs. Trethaway. "What's the matter, Frona?" the colonel demanded, bluntly.
Orden to arrange for me to come and speak to you all, to explain to you face to face why, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, I cannot do your bidding." "You don't want peace, then?" one of the delegates from the other side of the table asked bluntly. "We do not," was the quiet reply. "We are not ready for it." "The country is," Fenn declared firmly. "We are."
