"I'm the authentic T.B.M.," he parried from his perch on the porch railing. "I've cut out dancing." "More idiot you!" retorted Charley promptly. "Mums, do tell Phil it is all nonsense making such an oyster in a shell of himself." Mrs. Lambert smiled and looked up at her tall young son, looked rather hard for a moment. "I think the twins are right, Phil," she said. "You are working too hard.
There were a few ardent speeches from him, a vehement sort of love-making, which Kitty parried with a good deal of laughing adroitness, some saucy speeches from her which all the world might have heard, and then the cottage was reached. "Let me go in with you," said Hugo. "Certainly not. You would frighten the children." "Am I so very terrible? Not to you; don't say that I frighten you."
The picture which he drew thus briefly of a millennium of safety, charmed not only his own adherents, but all who were neutral, all who wavered. They saw how easily the thing might have been done, how completely the treacherous blow might have been parried and returned.
"I have no wish to anger these people who are on a holy pilgrimage by going into their temples as a Moslem." "You are going to the shrine of Omkar?" the Gulab asked aghast. "Are you again?" Barlow parried. "Yes, Sahib, soon." "I am going with you," Barlow declared. Bootea expostulated with almost fierce eagerness; with a fervour that increased the uneasiness in Barlow's mind.
She noticed his confusion, and he knew that she noticed it. She was a little girl. But she was also a little woman, a little Frenchwoman, who spoke English perfectly and yet with a difference! They had flirted together, she and Mr Coe. He raised his hat and shook hands and tried to play the game. "What are you doing here, Mimi?" he asked. "What are you doing here?" she parried, laughing.
Wright thrust by, Johnny snatched furiously at his arm and with just enough force to slew him round. Letting go, he struck for his face. The plumber had no wish to hurt the lad. Being a quick man with his fists, he parried the blow easily enough. "No more of this!" he shouted, and as Johnny leapt again, hurled him off with a backward sweep of his wrist.
Tom's blood began to fire up as he gazed; nor, with all his outward calm; was Kenelm insensible of that proud beat of the heart which is aroused by the fierce joy of combat. Tom struck out first and a blow was parried, but not returned; another and another blow, still parried, still unreturned.
"I don't know must've been in the house I told cabby to wait Anisty seems to have walked out right on your heels." "Hell!" And a moment later: "What's this about a woman in the case?" Maitland took swift thought on her behalf. "Too long to go into now," he parried the query. "You help me catch this scoundrel Anisty and I'll put in a good word for you with the deputy commissioner."
But Krassotkin haughtily parried this thrust, pointing out that to play horses with boys of one’s own age, boys of thirteen, would certainly be disgraceful “at this date,” but that he did it for the sake of “the kids” because he liked them, and no one had a right to call him to account for his feelings. The two “kids” adored him. But on this occasion he was in no mood for games.
Hers, after all, was the triumph; everybody was applauding her grace, her tact, her beauty, her dress, discreetly classical, her distinction; while she herself parried compliments with smiling good-humour in the very accents of society itself.
