"I ain't I mean I'm not crying," said Mary Ann, with a sob in her breath. "Come, come, don't fib. What's the matter?" "I'm not crying, it's only the music," she murmured. "The music," he echoed, bewildered. "Yessir. The music always makes me cry but you can't call it crying it feels so nice." "Oh, then you've been listening!" "Yessir." Her eyes drooped in humiliation.
I wondered if this were an imperfect recollection or only a perfect fib, and she quite understood my unuttered comment on her measure of such things. But if she could forget Neil Paraday's beauties she could of course forget my rudeness, and three days later she invited me, by telegraph, to join the party at Prestidge.
"Will you have the right hand or the left?" said she, smiling. "The left," said he, "for I suppose you mean the truth or a fib." "Well, then, I saw him," she said, speaking into the lawyer's ear. "And as I saw him looking so sad, so out of heart, I said to myself, Has he a cigar? Has he any money?" "If you wish for the truth, I can tell it you," said the lawyer.
"Olive will come down in about ten minutes; she told me to tell you that. About ten; that is exactly like Olive. Neither five nor fifteen, and yet not ten exactly, but either nine or eleven. She didn't tell me to say she was glad to see you, because she doesn't know whether she is or not, and she wouldn't for the world expose herself to telling a fib.
"Upon my word, I can't tell; it depends mainly on the parson's wife and daughters. There is none at Plumstead." This was almost a fib on the part of the archdeacon, for Mrs. Grantly has a very nice school.
'Difficult thing to proclaim, before an engagement! Her shoulders were restless. 'When a man's feelings get entangled! 'Oh! a man's feelings! I'm your British Jury for, a woman's. 'He has married her? She declared to not knowing particulars. She could fib smoothly. The next day she was on the line to London, armed with the proposal of an appointment for the Hon.
She was determined to assert her independence, and if she stooped to fib about the Hepburn picnic it was chiefly from the secretive instinct that made her dread the profanation of her happiness. Whenever she was with Lucius Harney she would have liked some impenetrable mountain mist to hide her.
If Big White Bear knew all about Omnok, he'd run away. "Why, I never fight anybody," said Big White Bear gravely. "Ha, ha, ha!" laughed Huskie. "That's a good story. You never fight any one. What a fib!" "It's the truth." "The truth? Ha! Ha! Of course that's not true. You're a bear. All bears are fighters, and great big bullies, besides! Why! I bet you've got claws three inches long."
It was a fib, of course." Elizabeth turned round indignantly. "No, Sir; I don't tell fibs. He was out." "Did you give him my message when he came in?" "Yes, Sir." "And what did he say, oh?" "Nothing." This was the literal fact; but there was something behind which Elizabeth had not the slightest intention of communicating.
So cleverly, easily, dancingly did he perform the double knock and the retreat, that Chumley Potts was moved to forget his wagers and exclaim: 'Racket-ball, by Jove! 'If he doesn't let the fellow fib the wind out of him, Mallard addressed his own crab eyeballs. Lord Fleetwood heard and said coolly: 'Tightstrung. I kept him fasting since he earned his breakfast.
