It was on the tip of Gwynne's tongue to ask him bluntly what corporation he had in mind, but not only did his already boiling humor recoil from the indignity of a deliberately worded bribe, but he doubted if it would be proffered so early in the game. He had a very clever man to deal with; it was not likely he would make the mistake of a direct approach.
If she has a baby which happens occasionally, Carley, in spite of your assertion it very soon goes to the kindergarten. Then what does she find to do with hours and hours? If she is not married, what on earth can she find to do?" "She can work," replied Carley, bluntly. "Oh yes, she can, but she doesn't," went on Eleanor. "You don't work. I never did. We both hated the idea.
I 'm trying not to believe it." "I hope it is n't true." Her voice was low and serious. "Father was talking to me about you. And we hoped you two would succeed this time." Evidently her father had told her more than she cared to relate. Fairchild caught the inflection in her voice but disregarded it. "I owe you an apology," he said bluntly. "For what?" "Last night.
That he had been interested in the subject for a single moment she did not believe. She wondered that he deemed it worth his while to feign interest. "Are you taking a holiday to-day?" she enquired bluntly. He smiled at that. "I cut off an old man's toe at the cottage hospital this morning, vaccinated four babies, pulled out a tooth, and dressed a scald. What more would you have?
"I haven't even seen her yet; have you?" "I've seen her twice," said Mrs Winn. "She's pretty enough, though not to be compared to her mother; more like the Forrests, and has her father's pleasant manners. If looks were the only things to consider, she would do very well." "What's the matter with her?" asked Delia, bluntly, for Mrs Winn spoke as though she knew much more than she expressed.
He was pained, it would seem, that the friend of his childhood should step so bluntly on to delicate ground. "It is a secret of the confession."

"Have you advised Juanita of the terms of her father's will?"
"I can diagnose the case more bluntly if you wish," he retorted. "You could, but you have not. You are, therefore, not qualified to attend my sister." "Come, come, Margaret!" said Henry, never raising his eyes. "This is a terrible business, an appalling business. It's doctor's orders. Open the door." "Forgive me, but I will not." "I don't agree." Margaret was silent.

"Are you able to be taken away from here?" She knew that Doyle was outside, listening, and she hardened her heart for the part she had to play. It was difficult; she was so infinitely moved by her father's coming, and in the dim light he, too, looked like himself of years ago. "Taken away? Where?" she asked.
