Every word which flowed so glibly from his tongue fell on her ear as bitter mockery; and he himself was so repugnant to her, that she felt it a release when, after exchanging a few words with the master of the house, he begged leave to retire, as important business called him away. And this, indeed, was the truth.
Only those whose friendship and understanding have been tested will be likely to be told of that which is sacred lore. However, if the tourist insists upon having a story with his basket or pottery and the seller realizes that it's a story or no sale, he will glibly supply a story, be he Indian or white, both story and basket being made for tourist consumption.
That library was plainly a place where no time was to be wasted, for in less than a minute more Ford Foster was suddenly stopped in the middle of a passage of easy Latin, "That will do. Give me a free translation." Ford did so, glibly enough; but there followed no word of comment, favorable or otherwise.
You can kill a German, but you can't convince him. How long have you been here?" I did not reply at once. "About ten days." "Ten days!" he echoed. "What on earth has kept you in this ruin that long?" "Rest," said I, glibly. "But I am going away to-morrow. We'll go together. They will not know what to do with two of us." "Yes, they will. You will be taken for my accomplice. . . . Hark!
"Not much hurt," he said quietly. "She has fainted from shock, I think." Though he spoke so glibly, his brain was on fire with question and answer. His eyes glowered at the car and its occupant, and swept the open road on either hand. To Polly's nostrils was wafted a strange odor, carrying reminiscences of so-called "painless" dentistry.
"Having ascertained this much, I had done with the young person, for the time being," he continued, glibly; "and I felt that my next business would be at Hilton House. Here I presented myself in the character of a twopenny postman; but here I found the servants foreign, and so uncommonly close that they might as well have been so many marble monuments, for any good that was to be got out of them.
For what he found that he thought was that, through some mysteriously beneficent opening of portals kept closed through all the eons of time, she who was purest love's self had strangely passed to places where vision revealed things as they were created by that First Intention of which people sometimes glibly talked in London drawing-rooms. He had not seen life so.
He told her he had come with the transport wagons that stood outside the town. He had walked in, and wanted lodgings for the night. It was a deliberate lie, glibly told; he would have told fifty, though the recording angel had stood in the next room with his pen dipped in the ink. What was it to him? He remembered that she lay there saying always: "I am better."
The court in which Mrs. Harcourt lived was not a very desirable place, but, on account of her color, eligible houses could not always be obtained, and however decent, quiet or respectable she might appear on applying for a house, she was often met with the rebuff, "We don't rent to colored people," and men who virtually assigned her race the lowest place and humblest positions could talk so glibly of the degradation of the Negro while by their Christless and inhuman prejudice they were helping add to their low social condition.
There was a good deal of explanation necessary in dealing with Sylvia's part in the past Doris had banked on Sylvia. The tea room was easier, but Joan slipped over that experience so glibly that Doris made a mental reservation concerning it. Patricia was the critical test. At the mention of her name Cuff whined pathetically, and Joan bent and gathered him in her arms.
