"Don't laugh at me," she pleaded, "Gladys says it was a most natural mistake, and so does Bob. Don't you, Gladys and Bob?" "An almost inevitable mistake," they chorused mendaciously, "but," added Bob, "a rather disastrous mistake for your uncle to explain to his wife, the doctor and the nurse. He'll be able for it, though; I never saw so game an old chap."
He was the Beau Brummel of that coterie which laid the foundation of prosperity on the Rand; and his house was a marvel of order and crude elegance save when he had his roulette and poker parties, and then it was the shambles of murdered niceties. Once or twice a week his friends met here; and it was not mendaciously said that small fortunes were lost and won within these walls "between drinks."
Hotly he pours forth his reasons. "Do you ask? Was it not your testimony, your report, which induced me to accuse that innocent girl? You, living in the dusky woods, did you not mendaciously aver to me that from your wild castle you had seen the dark deed committed? With your own eyes seen how Elsa drowned her brother in the tarn?
"Miss Falconer will be delighted," said Lady Claire mendaciously. The traces of that delight, however, lay beneath so well schooled an exterior that they were decidedly non-apparent.

"So you've made up?" "We didn't have to make up much, Daddy, did we?" mendaciously. Miss Emily came to the rescue. "He seems very nice." "Splendid fellow.

"He's my cousin," said Patsy, mendaciously; for although they called themselves cousins there was no relationship even of marriage, as Patsy's Aunt Jane had merely been betrothed to Kenneth's uncle when he died. "I'm sorry for that, miss," replied the druggist. "He's going to be badly beaten." "I think I'll take two ounces of this perfumery. It is really delightful.
He acknowledged the receipt of the Ballymoy petition, and promised, mendaciously, to consider the matter. Meldon drove into Ballymoy on the first morning of his holiday, and went straight to Mr. Simpkins' house. He left a card there, and then walked on to the office. Mr. Simpkins was in the office, and Meldon greeted him with a warmth which seemed actually affectionate. Mr.
"Yes," said Von Rosen mendaciously. He really did not know. In future he, however, would. "Well, I don't go because " again Annie hesitated, while the young man waited interrogatively. Then Annie spoke with force. "I would really like to go occasionally," she said, "I doubt if I would always care to." "No, I don't think you would," assented Von Rosen with a queer delight.
The verses of Virgil, while he was yet living, were claimed by an impostor; and a certain Fidentinus mendaciously usurped the works of Martial, whom Martial thus deservedly rebuked: "The book you read is, Fidentinus! mine, Though read so badly, 't well may pass for thine!"
