"Kind of brazening it out, you mean?" "Yes. Lord Littimer would give three times ten thousand pounds to have that ring again. But at this point Henson has met with a serious check in his plans. Driven into a corner, he has resolved to make a clean breast of it to Lord Littimer. He procures the ring from his strong box, and then he makes a discovery." "Which is more than I have. Pray proceed."
"I said heart-breaking a far simpler affair." "What is going to break your heart in it, please?" Lucy asked him. She saw that there lay something behind his rattle. "Well," said Urquhart, brazening it out, "it would break mine to get over the snow-field some eight miles of it, there are and to find that I couldn't get down. That might easily happen." "And what would you do?"
For I knew there was nothing for it but brazening it out. "Upon the honor of a gentleman!" said I, turning round to the boys. They hesitated; and if the trick had turned in my favor, fifty of them would have seized hold of Stiffelkind and drubbed him soundly. If they fit him, why then the cobbler's right."
"As it happens," said White, "it was signed by you fellows in my presence." The colonel shook his head. "Obdurate to the last, brazening it out to the end why not make a frank confession to an old business associate, Solly? I came here to see you about that cheque." "That's the game, is it?" said White. "You are going to charge me with forgery, and suppose I spill it?"
The sun stooped low in its course. Awhile the flaring disk seemed to perch itself on the far summit of the mountains in the west, brazening all the sky above the city, and rimming the walls and towers with the brightness of gold. Then it disappeared as with a plunge. The quiet turned Ben-Hur's thought homeward.
Mark had been sitting lounging in his chair, and had at first, for a moment only, thought to brazen it out. But all idea of brazening had now left him. He had raised himself from his comfortable ease, and was leaning forward with his elbow on the table; but now, when he heard these words, he allowed his head to sink upon his arms, and he buried his face between his hands.
For there was its luxurious lace border, a thing for the soft light of the boudoir, or the secret moonlight of love's permitted eyes, alone to see, shamelessly brazening it out in this terrible sunlight. Obviously there was but one way out of the dilemma, to confess my pilgrimage to Nicolete, and reveal to her all the fanciful absurdity to which, after all, I owed the sight of her.
Prosecution and a second return home in shame and disgrace were alike hideous to Clarence, and the present was almost equally terrible, for nobody at the office had any doubt of his guilt, and the young men who had sneered at his strictness and religious habits regarded him as an unmasked hypocrite, only waiting on sufferance till his greatly deceived patron should write to decide on the steps to be taken with him, while he knew he was thought to be brazening it out in hopes of again deceiving Mr.
It must have been nearly twelve when he reached home. Now, once more, would begin the gruesome process of deception flinching of soul, and brazening of visage. It would be better when the whole thievish business was irretrievably begun and ordered in its secret courses! There was no light in the drawing-room, save just the glow of the fire. If only Sylvia might have gone to bed!
He had a strong army moderately well concentrated; he had, indeed, used it to little purpose, but he was not likely, with his knowledge of the total force available by the Allies in the north, to be seriously daunted or for long by a game of mere impudence. In my opinion Trant, after brazening him away from Almeida, should have thanked Heaven and walked humbly for a while.
