Only I do hope that he will not insist upon making me too many confidences." So thought Mary, who by nature was forgiving, gentle, and an optimist; not guessing how sorely her patience as an affianced wife, and her charity as a woman of the world, would be tried within the hour. From all of which it will be seen that for once the diplomacy of the Colonel had prospered somewhat beyond its deserts.
"He may have had an attack of vertigo, or, mind you, this is wild guessing, perhaps he and Lloyd quarreled, and the latter struck him, forgetting his friend's blindness." "And perhaps the excitement and shock of a quarrel with his best friend brought on Lloyd's attack of heart failure," put in Miss Metoaca excitedly. "Only time and Goddard can tell." Warren shrugged his shoulders as he rose to go.
Unfortunately, it is the nature of woman to enjoy the sight of two men quarrelling for her favours, and Thérèse, guessing what was happening, was so unwise as to smile sweet encouragement at John North. Even a Conscientious Objector loses his conscience when there is a woman in the case.
"Yes," said Evans with a little surprise. "Do you know him?" "Yes," returned the minister, falling back in his chair helplessly, not luxuriously. "So well that I knew it was he almost as soon as you came into the room to-night." "What harm have you been doing him?" demanded the editor, in parody of the minister's acuteness in guessing the guilty operation of his own mind. "The greatest.
As "Little Agatha" I got four shillings for the best description of Autumn in two lines, and one shilling for guessing correctly the missing letters in BR-STOL, SH-FFIELD, and H-LL. A lot of the competitors fell down on H-LL. I got six shillings for giving the dates of the Norman Conquest, 1492 A.D., and the Crimean War of 1870. In short, the thing was easy.
I would like to have my hands in that Hindoo's treasure-chests! We none of us know yet, bahadur, what is this plan of thine " "You've been guessing awfully close to it, I think" laughed Cunningham. "Aha! The treasure-chests, then! But is there have you information, sahib? Who knows, then who has told where they are? Neither I nor my men know!" "Send for Mahommed Gunga."
Everybody approved of her as the heir of her father, especially young Marcel Thibault. What? Yes, of course. You could not help guessing it. He was Nataline's lover. They were to be married the next summer. They sat together in the best room, while the old mother was rocking to and fro and knitting beside the kitchen stove, and talked of what they were going to do.
She is bewildered. She doesn't want to see me tonight. Bless her heart! I'll bet my head she doesn't sleep a wink. And tomorrow? Tomorrow I shall see her. But not a word, not a sign out of me. Not tomorrow or next day or the day after that. Keep her thinking, keep her guessing, keep her wondering whether I really care. Pretty soon she'll realize how miserable she is, and then!"

He had decided upon a position about two hundred yards short of the derelict aircraft, guessing that the still unsuspecting enemy would concentrate upon that objective, and thus form a compact and easy target for the Haussas' rifles.
He looked from one to another of them. "The Guide must have a really good bodyguard, with all the enemies he's made." Gregory shook his head. "He lives virtually alone, in a very small house on the UN Capitol grounds. In fact, except for a small police-force, armed only with non-lethal stun-guns, your profession of arms is non-existent." "I've been guessing what you want me to do," Benson said.
