The explanation was a little too long for the old lawyer to entreat another repetition. Winking with the painful deprecation of a deaf man, Mr. Thompson smiled urbanely, coughed conciliatingly, and said he was afraid he could not affirm that much, though he was happily enabled to say that Ripton had borne an extremely good character at school.
Downstairs could be heard the sound of feet and an occasional metallic ring. "Oh, George, isn't it too wonderful wonderful for words!" said Clara, hysterical with joy. "I can't believe it," I cried. "Shut up!" said the voice behind the lantern. "My dear friend," I said conciliatingly, "there's not the slightest need of your keeping your finger on that wabbling, cold thing.
"Show Dill that rar' mineral, Uncle Bill." To Dill in an aside: "He's got a mountain of it and it's somethin' good." Uncle Bill made no move. "I aims to hold it for the boom." "And what's your honest opinion of the country, Mr. Griswold?" Dill asked conciliatingly. "What do you think well find when we reach the secondary enrichment?"
"Vard," broke in the Duke, conciliatingly, "don't take so much for granted. Why, there are folks suspicious enough to accuse Saint Peter of starting Lent and ticking off Fridays from the meat programme simply because he was in the fish business. Let's not get to fussing about a set of convention resolutions. They're mostly wind, anyway." But General Waymouth was not appeased.
Madden, the treasurer of a large shoe company, when they met on the marble tiles of the hall in their Boston club. "All right. Why?" "Well," replied Madden, conciliatingly, "you seem kind of preoccupied, that's all. I didn't know but what the fifty-four hour bill the legislature's just put through might be worrying you." "We'll handle that situation when the time comes," said Ditmar.
"Mother," she began, "I'm not going to wash the window sills upstairs this cleaning morning." "Now, Maizie," said Suzanna, conciliatingly, "don't you remember Who smiled at you once?" "M-hm, I remember," said Maizie, without change of expression, "but I'm not going to wash the window sills." A little silence ensued. Then Suzanna offered a suggestion.
"Then it is not your duty to be here," said her sister Euphemia, somewhat distinctly. But Mrs. Flandin was bound to "free her mind" of what was upon it. "I should think the Squire'd want Evan to hum," she went on. "It would be very nice if Evan could be in two places at once," Mrs. Reverdy owned conciliatingly. "Where is Captain Knowlton now?" asked Mrs. Boddington.
Besides, poised as she was like a winged Mercury on the threshold of Society, she could not afford any low scene with Mrs. Tutts. Conquering her resentment, Mrs. Jackson said conciliatingly "Yes, of course, now we 're married it's different we have to be perticular who we entertain. As Mis' Symes says 'Society must draw the line somewhere!" Mrs. Tutts searched her face in quick suspicion.
"But these new magazines have to do something to get a hold. This is just to attract public attention." "They'll get that, when Tisdale brings a suit for libel. Hope he will do it, and that the judgment will swamp them. They must have got his name from Mrs. Feversham." "It looks political," said Geraldine conciliatingly, "as though they were striking through him at the administration."
Otway went on, nervously and conciliatingly: "I did try to arrange for you to go and spend the time with your daughter, but apparently they will not allow Germans to be transferred from one town to another without a great deal of fuss, and I knew, Anna, that you would not really want to go to the Pollits. I felt sure you would rather stay in Witanbury.
