"I knew you would say so. You are so honest that you could not bring yourself to tell a fib, even to me about that. Come here and sit down for a moment." Of course he sat down by her. "You know that Frank came to see me at Grex?" "He never mentioned it." "Dear me; how odd!" "It was odd," said he in a voice which showed that he was angry.
All that was plain sailing enough, but beyond this lay a sea of conjecture in which he found himself without helm or compass. Why, should she have acted a fib about his being an actor, and why, after the end, should she have added an end, in which she returned to own that she had been fibbing?
I told a horrid fib and said the newsagent had forgotten to leave it. 'But she must know, he answered gravely. 'Not to-day, protested Lady Kelsey. 'Oh, it's too dreadful that this should happen to-day of all days. Why couldn't they wait till to-morrow? After all Lucy's troubles it seemed as if a little happiness was coming back into her life, and now this dreadful thing happens.
The question was not now whether the hen could swim, but whether he could; he floundered round and round, and screeched like a little bedlamite, and was just thinking of the last fib he told, when his brother Zedekiah came along and fished him out.
"Pity you were not there?" said Morris, making a suggestion with his hand preparatory to saying "good-bye can't stop," and then telling something very much like a fib; for it was in his mind to say, "So glad to have met you."
"Well, I'm sorry, but I'm not. No use to fib about it! It is too late. Your notions are so queer." "I suppose it is queer to love one woman and to love her so that laboring for her is happiness! I suppose you do find me a queer chap, because I am not willing that my wife flesh of my flesh should flaunt herself, half dressed, to excite the admiration of other men all for fifty dollars a week!"
"What an enchanting scene! What a fine orchestra! Will you often give us a ball?" said Madame Lebas. "What a charming appartement! Is this your own taste?" said Madame Desmarets. Birotteau ventured on a fib, and allowed her to suppose that he had designed it. Cesarine, who was asked, of course, for all the dances, understood very well Anselme's delicacy in that matter.
Morris could never have held up her social head again had she fibbed, or bidden the maid fib that is, if it had been discovered. "How lovely your house is, Mrs. Morris!" said Mrs. Van Dorn, affably. The Morris house was only a year old, and had not yet been nearly exhausted as a topic of polite conversation. "Thank you," said Mrs. Morris.
Lady Laura paused a moment, thinking what reply she should make; and then she told a fib. "No; he never asked me." But Violet did not believe the fib. Violet was quite sure that Phineas had asked Lady Laura Standish to be his wife. "As far as I can see," said Violet, "Madame Max Goesler is his present passion." "I do not believe it in the least," said Lady Laura, firing up.
"I thought you had just come. We have not been here so long," he added; "my daughter has been a little out of sorts, and the doctor advised us to travel for change of air. Paris is not healthful in this very hot weather." He looked hard at me to see whether his fib had taken me in. I replied, with an air of the utmost conviction, "That is putting it mildly. Paris, in July, is uninhabitable."
