"Then you don't honestly believe that she's in love with Banks?" I asked, remembering his "I don't know. How can any one know," of a few minutes earlier. "She's so utterly unreliable in every way," he equivocated. "She always has been. She isn't the least like the rest of us." "Don't you count yourself as another exception?" I asked. "Not in that way, Brenda's way," he said.
There was a tacit understanding, of course, that in return for these courtesies his vision was not to be too keen nor his manner too aggressive. When he was approached by an expert "dip" with the offer of a fat reward for immunity in working the track crowds, Blake carefully weighed the matter, pro and con, equivocated, and decided he would gain most by a "fall."
But the falsity of the fabrication soon became too apparent for even the journals most hostile to Cooper to endure. They made a vain effort to get from the author a confirmation of his story: but though he did not venture to repeat the lie manfully, he equivocated about it in a sneaking way.
In expressing his concern for my embarrassment, he seemed to accuse me of imprudence without ever saying in what this consisted; he incessantly equivocated, and seemed to speak for no other purpose than to hear what I had to say.
Let me ask you sir, he added, bringing the ferule of his stick heavily upon the deck with the air of a man who must not be equivocated with, 'how do you like my Country? 'I am hardly prepared to answer that question yet, said Martin 'seeing that I have not been ashore.
"Am I?" equivocated Blake. She had risen to her feet by this time, with monkey-like agility, and showed herself to be much taller than he had imagined. He noticed a knife scar on her forearm. "You 're after this man called Binhart," she declared. "Oh, no, I 'm not," was Blake's sagacious response. "I don't want Binhart!" "Then what do you want?" "I want the money he 's got."
"'Gusty" somehow the name didn't seem to fit was manifestly disappointed. "Oh, dear!" she said, and then added, "Will he be back soon?" Now this was a question unprovided for. Ralph stammered, and then miserably equivocated. He really couldn't say just when the Captain would return. "Oh, dear!" said the young lady again.
It would be the worst fate that could befall me." "But it is not that that I spoke about," her mother equivocated. "Have you thought about him? He is so ineligible in every way, you know, and suppose he should come to love you?" "But he does already," she cried. "It was to be expected," Mrs. Morse said gently. "How could it be otherwise with any one who knew you?"
It was a revelation, having its origin in an honesty which impelled a pure outspokenness to himself. Reserve, of course, there had been elsewhere, for did not she hold a secret with him? Had she not hidden things, equivocated else where? Yet it had been at his wish, to protect the name of a dead man, for the repose of whose soul masses were now said, with expensive candles burning.
On this subject he equivocated; I therefore suspected there must be something wrong. I reflected what it could be, and judged that the goods had been stolen, or that they had been the apparel of persons who had died of some contagious distemper. The Jew showed me a chest, from which he said I might choose whatever suited me best.
