"Certainly. Of course there's a small extra charge. I have a Royal Satsuma tea-service practically Royal Satsuma, at least and some special Limoges." "I think Royal Sats'ma would be nice. And some silverware?" "Surely." "And could we get some special stuff to eat?" "What would you like?" "Why " Mendacious Mr. Wrenn! as we have commented.
It changed bearers no less than six times before the mendacious signpost was reached, and then its victims were so exhausted that they had to lie down on the grass and rest. It was already past three o'clock when the boys resumed their tramp, abandoning the road and heading across country along the same course by which they had come.
Storri was as fond of fiction as Mr. Harley, and of a far livelier imagination. Once started on an untruth, he would pursue it hither and yon as a greyhound courses a hare. Like every artist of the mendacious, he was quick for those little deeds that would give his lies a look of righteous integrity. Thus it befell on the occasion in hand.
Brentshaw opposed abilities more finely forensic; in bidding for purchasable favors he offered prices which utterly deranged the market; the judges found at his hospitable board entertainment for man and beast, the like of which had never been spread in the Territory; with mendacious witnesses he confronted witnesses of superior mendacity.
A kind of bottled meat-flavoured sauce, manufactured from spent yeast, is used to make the soups, and is poured, with an equally nauseating result, over the hard veal, the tough chicken, the "mousey" quails, and the tasteless beef and mutton, which are never roasted, but are baked or stewed in boiling fat though shamelessly described as "rôtis" in the pretentious and mendacious "menu" placed on the dinner-table.
Tom Leslie had merely read over the mendacious advertisement, at first, with the same indifference given to thousands of corresponding humbugs; and at the first reading he had not noticed the place at all. At the second reading, his mind took in the direction: "No. Prince Street, near Bowery," and at the same moment he comprehended the words, "Madame Elise Boutell, from Paris."
Reason has purified itself from the illusions of the senses and from a mendacious sophistry, and philosophy herself raises her voice and exhorts us to return to the bosom of nature, to which she had first made us unfaithful. Whence then is it that we remain still barbarians?
She was an easy-going, wool-witted creature, not ill-disposed, but sometimes mendacious and very indolent. Her life had always been what it was now one of slatternly comfort and daylong gossip, for she came of a small tradesman's family, and had married an artisan who was always in well-paid work.
There was first the Scheme, which had languished for weeks owing to the vise-like condition of the money market, another of Fitz's mendacious excuses, and which had now been suddenly galvanized into temporary life by an inquiry made by certain bankers who were seeking an outlet for English capital, and who had expressed a desire to investigate the "Garden Spot of Virginia."
He made absolutely no mention of the death of his young kinsman ; he abandoned this most serious charge, but to avoid the appearance of having totally abandoned his mendacious accusations he selected, as the sole support of his indictment, the charge of magic a charge with which it is easy to create a prejudice against the accused, but which it is hard to prove.
