"I thought you were so fine, so strong, but you lied yes, that is what you did! You fibbed to me the first day I met you, and you've been fibbing ever since. I could never, never care for a man who would do that." "Who has told you these things?" "Roberta, for one. She opened my eyes to your baseness." "Well, Roberta has a grudge against my sex.
Birnie's you know the house only next street, and dry your eyes before you get there. Don't go through the shop; this way out." She pushed the child, still sobbing with a vehemence that she could not comprehend, through the private passage into the street, and returned to her husband. "You are convinced now, Mr. "Pshaw! ma'am; don't talk. But, to be sure, that's how I cured Tom of fibbing.
"You never do anything to please me!" she snapped back. She knew she was fibbing, but something must be done to check this new form of independence and then, now that Garry couldn't come, she really needed him. "You don't want to come, that's it " She facing him now, her little nose high in the air, her cheeks flaming with anger.
He felt that it would hardly be wise to attempt any entire concealment of the nature of his catastrophe, as some of the circumstances would assuredly become known. If he said that he had fallen over the coal-scuttle, or on to the fender, thereby cutting his face, people would learn that he had fibbed, and would learn also that he had had some reason for fibbing.

I need work, I do," quavered Mrs. Croft. "Now, now. Don't mind her temper. But you really ought to see to her gloves when " "I hope I drop dead this minute if I didn't send 'em out the very day she told me." "Croft, you're fibbing. You know Lilas is excitable." "Excitable?" Croft wiped her eyes with a corner of her apron. "Is that what you call it?
"I'll shave it off if it doesn't suit you," said Jack amiably. Jack is always so provokingly good-humoured. When you've taken pains and put yourself out even to the extent of fibbing about a moustache to exasperate a person, there is nothing more annoying than to have him keep perfectly angelic.
Somebody says only 'fools and children tell the truth. You are not exactly the latter; certainly not the former; nevertheless, being a rustic, all unversed in the fashionable accomplishment of 'fibbing, you may dispense with the varnish pot and brush. Tell me, Regina, don't you feel inclined to fall at my feet and worship me?" "Not in the least.
Tell me everything. This is no time for fibbing." But he could make little of Ephie's sobbed and hazy version of the story; she herself could not remember clearly now; the impressions of the last few hours had been so intense as to obliterate much of what had gone before.
