I had forgotten Hephzy's "fib" concerning my going away. Fortunately he did not wait for an answer. "Did Frances did Miss Morley return with you?" he asked eagerly. "No," said I. His smile vanished. "Oh!" he said, soberly. "She is still in London, then?" "I I presume she is." "You presume ? Why, I say! don't you know?" "I am not sure."
Tell me, are they in your pocket? No, sir, said I; my heart up at my mouth. Said he, I know you won't tell a downright fib for the world: but for equivocation! no jesuit ever went beyond you. Answer me then, Are they in neither of your pockets? No, sir, said I. Are they not, said he, about your stays? No, sir, replied I: But pray no more questions: for ask me ever so much, I will not tell you.
"'Oh, said he, 'there are no outsiders here, we are all sworn friends of Dick's, every mother's son of us. "'Then, said I, 'Dick is off the Cove in the schooner Nancy, of Brest," "Holloa, Willis," cried Jack, "there was a fib!" "Well, I told you to look out for something of that sort when I began." "'What! cried the landlord, 'Dick in a schooner off the Irish coast?
"And is what you say? Come, come, you don't mean that such a splendid woman as you describe such a genius, poet, painter, musician beauty too! you don't mean to say that " "I do, every bit of it." "'Gad! what a fellow! what a lucky dog! But you must let me see her, Warham!" "What! to spoil all to blurt out the truth? for, with every disposition to fib, you lack the ability.
Cleopatra probably thought, if she glanced up to see his boat: "Oh dear, another load of tourists!" and promptly looked down to avoid the horrid vision. By the time Sir Marcus came within "How do you do?" distance, he had bribed our waiting boatmen to row away. This in order not to be caught in a lie. With our Nubians and their craft out of his watery way, he was free to fib when the time came.
She didn't want him, and had taken the shortest way to tell him so. Even in his first moment of exasperation it struck him as characteristic that she should not have padded her postponement with a fib. Certainly her moral angles were not draped! "If I asked her to marry me, she'd have refused in the same language. But thank heaven I haven't!" he reflected.
"You needn't put it that way to save my feelings!" Aline caught him up, panting a little, not trying to calm herself. "You knew that I had told you a fib. Be honest with me. You must. And I'll be honest with you." "I'm glad you're talking to me like this," said Somerled simply, "because I was puzzled, I admit. I couldn't bear to think "

Nevertheless, she would not have answered a direct question falsely. She was for the fib, but not the lie; at a word she could be disdainful of subterfuges. Her look said that.
"Fine lot o' gun tackle, ammunition, and suchlike. Wish I'd been going too." "Wish you had, sir," said the mate, fingering the presentation cigars, and then to himself: "What a whopping fib! I wouldn't sail in the same craft with such a nuisance." "I'd tell my men not to let that case of cartridges down if I was you, lufftenant," said the American, as the men raised a heavy chest.
I'm afraid their mother doesn't set them a very good example," answered Miss Margery who knew the Callahans of old. "Peggy says it isn't harm to tell a fib that don't hurt anybody," said Anne.
