And then she ran towards the house. 'In a few minutes Mr. D'Arcy came out into the field without his hat, and evidently much agitated. "Miss Wynne," he said, "I fear you must have been half frightened to death. Never was there such an unlucky contretemps." "But why is Sinfi Lovell here?" I said, "and why was I not told she was here?" "Sinfi is an old friend of mine," he said.
As the front door closed behind them, Uncle Chris heaved a sigh of relief. "Whew! I think I handled that little contretemps with diplomacy! A certain amount of diplomacy, I think!" "If you mean," said Jill severely, "that you told some disgraceful fibs . . ."
"I shall always have a room for you when you can be spared, and the longer you can be with me the better. But you haven't understood yet, Meg, and of course it is very difficult for you. This is a shock to you. It isn't to me, who have been thinking over our futures for many months, and they won't be changed by a slight contretemps, such as this. I cannot live in England."
Fearing failure as an inevitable result of this contretemps he at once despatched a letter to Hué, explaining the object of his mission, and expressing a wish to go with some of his officers to Saigon.

Seabrook gave vent to a hearty laugh of amusement at the awkward contretemps. "I thought I detected a familiar odor, Jennie," he observed; then added, good-naturedly, "You may pick them up, if you please." "Guess I will," she returned, eagerly, and nimbly suiting the action to her words. "I really can't afford to lose all that precious sweetness. Josie Craig gave them to me just as you rang."

You meant a local rule about losing your ball in the mud? No, I don't know of one unless it comes under the heading of casual land. Be a sportsman, Thomas, and don't begrudge me the hole." The game proceeded, and we reached the twelfth tee without any further contretemps; save that I accidentally lost the sixth, ninth and tenth holes, and that Thomas lost his iron at the eighth.
Blacker clouds than ever obscured the horizon; war was as near as flesh to bone. Luckily the I.G. saw at once that the new contretemps was due rather to accident than design.
Next, his delight led him gracefully to execute a hop in ballet fashion, so that the wardrobe trembled and a bottle of eau-de-Cologne came crashing to the floor. Yet even this contretemps did not upset him; he merely called the offending bottle a fool, and then debated whom first he should visit in his attractive guise.
