"You don't congratulate me," his friend returned with a touch of suspicion. Gifford forced a laugh. "My dear Harry, you have taken my breath away. You deserve the best wife in the kingdom, and I sincerely hope you have got her," he said, not very convincingly. His half-heartedness, not too successfully masked, evidently struck Kelson.
Great sprawling dry lakes ominous in their very placidity; dust dry, with little whirlwinds scurrying over them and mirages that lie to you most convincingly, painting water where there is only clay dust. Water that is hidden deep in forbidding canyons, water that you must hunt for blindly unless you have been told where it comes stealthily out from some crevice in the rocks.
After that, it may for a time maintain a semblance of life and motion, but in truth it is only a corpse. "This has been proved many times. It is being proved to-day in Great Britain. It has been proved recently and most convincingly in the experience of Australia and New Zealand. "In Australia the proletarian movement that began eighteen years ago has achieved an absolute triumph in politics.
But I will tell you in a word why I like Goethe. His is the only healthy mind, of any extent, that I have discovered in Europe for long generations; it was he who first convincingly proclaimed to me ...

So I believe, as firmly as I believe in the death and resurrection of the Lord. Is that clear to you, Sir Walter?" "It is. You have made it convincingly clear." "So be it, then.
He had left his lights full on for the benefit of watchers, and the hall-lamp glowed convincingly through the fanlight. Beale's flat was in darkness, and a slip of paper fastened to the door gave his address.
