So, in this case, faithful Ursel must deceive herself and misjudge the girl, for the old woman's strangely evasive words had revealed plainly enough that she did not consider Barbara the right wife for him. The good people of Ratisbon could not understand this rare creature! Her artist nature gave her peculiar, unusual traits of character, which were distasteful to the ways of German burghers.
"Well," sez he, in a evasive way, "I I don't want to be scrimped for time." So, as Tommy and I wanted to stop along on the way, he left us and went home. Robert had told us a good deal about this man, Mr. Hi-wal-hum; about his wealth and high official standing, and Josiah had been talkin' more or less about him all day; he looked forrered to it.
In all haste Nani again made his amiable, evasive gesture. "Oh! I am altogether ignorant in such matters," he replied. "Ask Monsieur Habert, who is so well informed." "For my part," responded the attache, "I simply know what is known to all the embassies here, the matters which are the subject of common report.
She quite frightened me, and in the home circle the old man seemed quite subdued. I escorted Rosa home, and on the way to her hospital she gave me a great surprise, as after much evasive talk she suddenly came out with the news that she was engaged to Heinrich Baumer, of U.C.23.
Charles VIII stopped for a moment under a sort of gilded canopy that had been prepared for him, and replied in a few evasive words to the welcoming speeches which were addressed to him by the Signoria; then he asked for his lance, he set it in rest, and gave the order to enter the town, the whole of which he paraded with his army following him with arms erect, and then went down to the palace of the Medici, which had been prepared for him.
"Your wife," she said, quietly, "is going a little too far. She is getting positively rude to me!" Mannering muttered some evasive reply. He, too, had marked the note of battle in Blanche's tone. He had noticed, too, the unusual restraint of her manner. She had drunk little or no wine at dinner time, and she had talked quietly and sensibly.
She had withdrawn her hand and now sat with averted face, the faint flicker of hope his presence had enkindled extinguished by his evasive answer. Only when he repeated the question did she reply, and then in a mere whisper, without lifting her head: "Yes, I am English." "And your people, are they where you can reach them?"
"Don't you think me mad?" said he. "I have a brother deranged; he got a stroke of the sun in India, and lost his senses in consequence; but sometimes I think it runs in the family." What answer could I give to this speech, but mere evasive commonplace? "You won't say what you really think," he continued; "I know you hate me, and that makes me dislike you.
And he looked at Arthur, then at Adelaide. Their faces gave him a twinge at the heart. "Speak up!" he said. "Do you or do you not stick to the old way?" "I can't talk about it, father," was Adelaide's evasive answer, her face scarlet and her eyes down. "And you, sir?" said Hiram to his son. "You'll have to excuse me, sir," replied Arthur coldly. Hiram winced before Mrs.
Tiralla stood before her with a perplexed look on his face, and gave him an evasive answer. How horrid his Sophia had been to him again, he complained. He had hardly been into her room she had established herself in the little room upstairs now and rarely came down and then merely to ask how she was.
