He might be stiff and stupid, but he flattered himself that he wasn't once short or sharp as he would have been over and over again with any other woman who so bothered him. And he was sincerely unaware that his courtesy, in its dry evasiveness, was more repudiating than rudeness.
The very evasiveness of the replies put Bones into a fret. He scouted the paths and found indications of people having passed over all three. He sent his gun back to the Zaire, divided his party into three, and accompanied by half a dozen men, he himself took the middle path. For an hour he trudged, losing his way, and finding it again.
"There's somebody else," declared Bobby, instantly assured by this evasiveness that the unknown had something to do with the matter. "If there were, it would be my affair entirely, wouldn't it?" she wanted to know, still smiling. "No!" he declared emphatically. "It would be my affair. But really I want to know. Will you, if I get my father's business back?" "I'll not promise," she said.
That seems the simple and just way, doesn't it?" "Any way seems just, I'd say," he said. "They love one another, so what's the odds? Do you know Reddon well?"

Blake had locked himself in with the white-faced Miss Elsie Verriner, alias Chaddy Cravath, alias Charlotte Carruthers, and for three long hours he had pitted his dynamic brute force against her flashing and snake-like evasiveness. He had pounded her with the artillery of his inhumanities. He had beleaguered her with explosive brutishness. He had bulldozed and harried her into frantic weariness.
Three brass cannons, set on the brow of the sunk-fence, were to proclaim our deathless sentiments in the ears of the retreating foe: the dogs were to wear ribbons, and later but this depended on our powers of evasiveness and dissimulation there might be a small bonfire, with a cracker or two, if the public funds could bear the unwonted strain.

Before she could reiterate her question, however, he had mether with another. "You did think of me, then? Why are you afraid totell me that you did?" The unexpectedness of the challenge wrung an indignant cry from her. "Didn't my letters tell you so enough?"
"Oh, Kate, I had a lovely time to-day, with all the beautiful sights out in the country; I wish you could see how much more there is in nature since we have studied Christian Healing," was the evasive reply. "I think we see more in everything," said Kate, whose curiosity was rather piqued by the evasiveness, though she made no sign, "because everything stands for something.
He remembered it, the funny little word that summed up her evasiveness, her reluctance, her absurdity. She was still standing by the doorstep, stroking the sham porphyry pillar with her childish hand, as if she wanted to see what it was made of. "It isn't reelly marble," Ransome said.
