It's men tell me about my father. You think he's good, because you love him; but he's bad, really as bad as hell as bad as hell." "What's he done then? I'm not bluffing, Abel. There's nothing to bluff about. What's your father done to you? You must have some reason for hating him?" "Yes, I have." "What is it, then?" "It's because the Mill ought to be mine when he dies there!"
He "gets on" with everybody, but not in the way that sort of thing is too generally done not by methods which have come to be called diplomatic and which involve a great deal of surface affability, of wordy beating about the bush and concealing one's real purposes from persons who see his hand and wonder if they are bluffing him about theirs. Foch has no stomach for this sort of thing.
"Y yes," stammered Milo, still battling with the idea of bluffing this calmly authoritative man. "Yes. They're all right. But where you got the idea " "How many of them are there? The servants, I mean." "Four," spoke up Claire, returning from her finished work, and pausing on her way to do like duty for the upstairs windows. "Two men and two women."
Suddenly he righted himself and departed in the direction of Rheims, banging away at me. I tried bluffing; I rose 500 meters and let myself fall on him like a pebble. When I began to think my bluff had not succeeded, he seemed impressed and began to descend again. I placed myself at a distance of 10 meters, but every time I showed my nose the passenger aimed at me.
But Austria had counted on "bluffing" Russia to keep out, as she had been bluffed in 1908, and when she saw that this time the Russians meant business, she became frightened and sent word that she might be willing to settle the question without fighting.
"You're bluffing. You wouldn't start anything here, anyway." "Apologize!" Carl's fist was clenched. People were staring. "Cut it out, will you! I didn't mean anything." "You wouldn't," snapped Carl, and rammed his way out, making wistful boyish plans to go to Frazer with devotion and offers of service in a fight whose causes grew more confused to him every moment.
"And you know I'll make some money out of my songs before long see if I don't! I took some of em to the Professor this morning and, my word, didn't he like em! Why, I couldn't repeat the things he said you'd think I was bluffing!" Strange gift! "settling unaware" on this rude nature and poor intelligence! But Laura looked up eagerly. Here she softened; here was the bridge between them.
Wilfred Edgerton could have told Mrs. Pumpelly the "rule in Shelly's case" or explained the doctrine of cy pres, he had never read the building code or the health ordinances or the traffic regulations, and in the present instance the latter were to the point while the former were not. Thus he was confronted with the disagreeable alternative of admitting his ignorance or bluffing it through.
That chestnut of John's ran away from her as if she was hobbled and side-lined, while this coyote of mine threw dust in her face every jump in the road from the word 'go. If the old man isn't bluffing and will hack his mare, we'll get back our freeze-out money with good interest.
"It is perfectly understandable," the Judge smiled with forced affability. "The plaintiff, Mr. Jefferson Corrigan, is a claimant to the title of the land now held by you." "Corrigan can have no claim on my land; I bought it five years ago from old Buck Peters. He got it from a man named Taylor. Corrigan is bluffing."
