So I went out, and there I found my poor old Dinky-Dunk sitting on a grain-box puffing gloomily away at his old pipe. For a minute or two he didn't see me, so I went right over to him. "What does this mean?" I demanded. "Why?" he rather guiltily equivocated. "Why are you smoking out here?" "I er I rather thought you might think it wouldn't be good for the Boy!"
"I have been peeping," she said, looking at him searchingly. A little line of anxiety lay between her eyes. "Where is Mr. Loeb going, Mr. Barnes?" He noted the omission of Mr. O'Dowd. "To Hornville, I believe. They stopped for gasoline." "Is he running away?" was her disconcerting question. "O'Dowd says he is to be gone for a few days on business," he equivocated.
"It is the duty of a teacher of peace to use all her influence with the people she knows," she went on. "So I am going to ask you not to let your country ever go to war against mine while you are chief of staff." "Mine against yours?" he equivocated. "Why, you live almost within gunshot of the line! Your people have as much Gray as Brown blood in their veins, Your country! My country!
How in the world do you manage to get this wonderful New York candy all the way to Graustark? It is quite fresh and perfectly delicious." "Oh, Fifth Avenue isn't so far away as you think," he equivocated. "It's just around the corner of the world. What's eight or nine thousand miles to a district messenger boy?
"Why, yes, the sooner the better," said Mrs. Martin. "I'd give everything I have in this world, and all my chances for the next, to get a tub bath!" "It will be so refreshing just before supper," said Mrs. Maynadier, who was more conservative. The Staff beauty looked at the black pool, and shuddered. "Do you use it?" said she. "Occasionally," I equivocated.
All this he said, quietly and without a trace of boasting, but with a firmness that won from the mob a most unyielding respect. And this saved him from a worse fate. If he had quailed or equivocated, they would have triumphed; if he had boasted or threatened, they would have hanged him. He did neither.
At first Beauchene fumed, stormed, denied, equivocated, almost blamed Mathieu for interfering, talked too of blackmail, and put on all sorts of high and mighty airs. But at heart the matter greatly worried him. What if Norine or her mother should go to his wife?
He was a spendthrift, he was an adulterer, he gambled, he equivocated. These are blots positive, unless untrue, and when they stand alone, tinge the whole character. This also is to be observed in historical criticism. All men feel a necessity of being on some terms with their conscience, at their own expense or at another's.
Steele demanded. "Your father's got plenty o' money." Whitey's real reason was that he wanted to be among the men to watch Dorgan, but he equivocated which is a pretty way of saying that he told a white lie. "Bill Jordan thinks I'm a softy," Whitey replied. "He's trying to make it so hard for me that I'll be glad to go back to school. And I want to show Bill that I'm not afraid of work."
He, too, was flushed and rather breathless, and his long, sinewy hands were trembling slightly. "Myra, beloved, have my kisses fired your heart?" "You have hurt me," equivocated Myra, avoiding his glowing eyes. "I feel faint and exhausted. Oh, surely I have suffered enough to-night! My strength is spent. Oh, surely you won't be so cruel as to take further advantage of my helplessness?"
