Making believe she never fibbed, when she did the same thing as that, and she knew she did. Running off to play when grandma wished her to stay with Flyaway. Feeding Zip Coon with plum cake to see him wag his tail, and never telling but it was brown bread. Getting angry with the chairs and tables, and people. Doing all manner of wickednesses.
"I remembered," fibbed Julia, "that I was charged to give a ring to the Lady Silvia, and that I did not." "Well, give it to me," said Proteus. She handed him a ring, but it was the ring that Proteus gave to Julia before he left Verona. Proteus looked at her hand, and crimsoned to the roots of his hair. "I changed my shape when you changed your mind," said she. "But I love you again," said he.
It was, he reflected agitatedly, absolutely marvellous the way these fellows learned things! In a moment the fellow would tell him his name! The fellow didn't, though. He only said: "Tannersville is a fine town. Ever been there?" Tom shook his head energetically. "Never!" he fibbed. "Oh!" The confidence-man for Tom had fully decided that such he was seemed disappointed. But he wasn't discouraged.
But I say, Master Waller, you can fib when you like!" "How dare you!" cried Waller angrily. "How have I fibbed or lied to you? Didn't I own it to you directly, sir, as soon as I was sure you knew?" "Oh, well, I suppose you did, Master Waller. Beg pardon! Don't be waxy with me, lad." "Here, tell me who is likely to know." "Why, Joe Hanson, like as anybody, I should say.
"But we wouldn't rather," fibbed the older girl. "She's our comp'ny and we have to be nice to her." "'Cause you like her better'n you do me," insisted the other. "No such thing! Come on and see!" "I won't, either!" "What's the matter?" asked Peace, hearing the excited voices and stepping out of line to learn the cause.
"An' me not there to see him in his triumph." A cloud overspread Miss Nippett's features. "What's the matter?" asked Mavis. "Did he did he send and tell you to tell me as 'ow he'd won." The wistful old eyes were so pleading, that Mavis fibbed. "Of course he sent me." "I thought he wouldn't forget his old friend," she remarked with a sigh of relief. "'E'd surely know I was anxious to know."
Miss Eyester fibbed without a pang of conscience: "I never dreamed it." "I thought you wouldn't look at anybody unless they had money you bein' rich 'n' ever'thing." "In the winter I earn my living cataloguing books in a public library. I hate it." Pinkey laid an arm about her thin shoulders. "Say, what's the chanct of gittin' along with you f'rever an' ever?"
If you can manage to introduce me as a respectable sort of chap to your father, and he gives his permission " "But how did I get to know you?" I groaned. "I shall have to fib." "No, you won't," he said quickly. "I refuse to be fibbed about. You must think of some other way." "I'm afraid," I said dolefully, "you agree with that hateful curiosity man about me!" "Agree with him? I don't understand."
"I must say I don't believe there ever was anybody but Washington that didn't tell a lie. It's awfully hard to be exactly truthful always," said Lluella. "You remember that time in the primary grade, just after we'd come here to Briarwood, Belle?" "Do I?" laughed Belle Tingley. "You fibbed all right then, Miss." "It wasn't very bad and I did want to see the whole school so much.
"I don't play well enough. You see, I've kept thinking that some day I'd be able to get instruction, but I never have yet; except a few lessons a fellow in Parkerstown gave me one Summer. I just scrape; that's all." "I've always thought," fibbed Clint stoutly, "that you played finely!" "I've always thought I could if I'd had instruction," replied Penny wistfully. "I sort of love it.
