"Monsieur is too strong for me," replied Gaston, cryptically. He took off his cap, wiped his face, and sat down at the wheel. "If a man is not strong, what is he?" rejoined Magin. "But you will not find this cigar too strong," he added amicably. Gaston did not. What he found strong was the originality of his passenger and the way that cognac failed, in spite of its friendly warmth, to cheer him.
Gwynne, 'cause I got a sneakin' idee you're goin' to see a lot of that girl, an' maybe you'll turn out to be a source of help in time o' trouble to her." "I fail to understand just what you mean, Striker. She is an absolute stranger to me." "Well, we'll see what we shall see," said Striker, cryptically. He opened the kitchen door and called to Zachariah to hurry in and get his breakfast.
Nothing ever was properly announced by Huggo. It just "came out." It "came out" that the syndicate was not established in the West End show-rooms but in three rather dingy offices in the city. It "came out" that the syndicate was not running a motor-car business but a business cryptically described as "Agents."
"If she were a couple of years older there couldn't be any objection. Well, for the lan's sakes!" Her face broke into a broad grin. "There isn't any reason why we should nobody need ever know," she murmured cryptically. Ten minutes later she was busy in the little room at the end of the hall. When Larry came back he stumbled over the machine she had pushed out of her way. "Hullo," he said.
He laughs several different ways: heartily at times, as men of my temperament mostly do; boisterously on occasion, after Jeremy's fashion; now and then cryptically, using laughter as a mask; then he owns a smile that suggests nothing more nor less than kindness based on understanding of human nature.
Azol started to say something, but I stepped on his foot, and he caught on. In fact, he caught on so fast that I became a little suspicious of him." "Poor Azol!" Trigger said. "Poor nothing!" the Commissioner said cryptically. "I'll tell you about that some other time.
He seized the paper, stared at what I had written in pencil on the margin, and then stared at me. Abruptly, he began to laugh. "Ask Mr. Wading what he thinks of it?" "I intended to, provided it had your approval, sir," I replied. "You have my approval, Mr. Paret," he declared, rather cryptically, and with the slight German hardening of the v's into which he relapsed at times.
"Here, Henry," he directed his valet, "take this to Miss Dodge." As the valet went out, he wrote another note. "Read that," he said, handing it over to Smith. "It's a message I want you to take to headquarters right away." It was worded cryptically: A. A. L. N. Y. Closely watched. Must act soon or all will be discovered.
It was just as well. They were on the eve of their summer flight to the ranch, where she would have other things to think about than young men. That was his half-expressed theme when he spoke: "Well, girl, will you be glad to get back to work again? You missed last summer." Eleanor started as out of sleep. "I think I am glad of everything!" she said cryptically.
Curiosity overcame him. "Say, Hughie, if you didn't drop it, who on earth did?" "Nobody on earth," I replied cryptically.... Naturally, I declined to reveal the secret. Nor was this by any means the only secret I held over the Peters family, who never quite knew what to make of me. They were not troubled with imaginations.
