"A fight is nothing," declared Belle with spirit. "You're in training to become a fighting man, and a bout or two at fistcuffs is nothing more or less than so much valuable experience. Dave, promise me something?" "Of course, if it's anything promisable." "You'll write me " "Can you doubt that, Belle?" "And let me know exactly and truthfully if anything further comes of this," she finished.
If only a fellow could get up between showers, or before the rain actually starts, so that he could truthfully say: "But, mother, really and truly, it wasn't raining when we started!" it would be all right, and the escape was warrantable, justified and safe; but with the rain actually falling, there was nothing to do but go to sleep again and turn the worms back into the garden if the rain didn't let up by noon.
Jackson could not truthfully say that she ever had felt that she had exhausted Crowheart, but she agreed weakly "Uh-huh." "I had so many new and delightful experiences, too."

It is fifty to one whoever goes on that business will not come back alive, and you will rid me of the most insolent fine gentleman in my squadrons. The general hardly heard him; he was deep in thought; but he asked a good deal about you from the Hawk, and Chateauroy spoke for your fitness for the errand they are going to send you on, very truthfully, for a wonder.
Marjorie was silent; was this accusation true? Was Miss Allen's really nicer than any other school, or was it merely her own opinion? She met the question fairly, searching her mind truthfully for an answer. At last she found one: in the eyes of even unprejudiced observers, it must appear to excel all other schools because of its Girl Scout troop!

"You mean Germany in what sense? Are you thinking of Preuszenthum? Are you referring to Junkerismus?" "No," I said, quite truthfully, "neither of them."
There was a slight shortage of plate and crockery, but I praised the bacon and could do so truthfully, for its crisp and steaming shavings would have put to shame the efforts of my London cook.
