He had come all that way with the best intentions to be treated like this; to meet this 'land lawyer, who, he could see, was only here to sharpen his tongue, and those two scarecrow-looking chaps, who had come to testify, no doubt, to his discomfiture. And he said sharply: "So that's the best you can do to meet me, is it?" Gaunt answered imperturbably: "I think it is, Sir Gerald."
No pose of detachment could avail against the warm waves of that voice. He had to hear. After a moment he altered his position as it were reluctantly, to answer her. “That’s a difficulty that women generally have.” “Yet I have always spoken the truth.” “All women speak the truth,” said Blunt imperturbably. And this annoyed her. “Where are the men I have deceived?” she cried.
Now and then he took off his glasses and rubbed them vigorously, and put them on again to peer absently down the street. A heavy figure, clad in the faded blue uniform of the Michaelsschule, rounded the corner, puffing heavily. "Ach, Kerlman!" The tall man started forward with a stride. "You are late." The other nodded imperturbably. "Ja, I am late. Those boys I cannot make to hurry."
"I would rather see you in it, but as there's only one, I know you wouldn't be feeling a gentleman; and that would make us both uncomfortable." "'Pon my word, Peter," Lancelot burst forth, "you're enough to provoke a saint." "'Pon my word, Lancelot," replied Peter imperturbably, "you're more than enough to provoke a sinner. Why, what have you to be ashamed of?
He followed her. In the yard she paused again. "And spying's only for people like me," she continued daintily. "It's not work for the gentry." They were walking across the Paddock Close now under dim heavens toward the light in the cottage across the way. "I suppose not," he answered imperturbably. "I'm glad I'm not one." "Oh, but you are," with quiet insistence.
Stuart, imperturbably, "you settled on them securities which yield about five thousand a year. That does not give them the means to take the position which I expect for my family in such a crisis. They must have a large house, must entertain lavishly," she swept an impassive hand toward him in royal emphasis, "and do all that that set expects to meet them as equals.
The rapid change of their point of attraction could not be met by the courtiers so composedly and imperturbably but that the duchess observed the alteration, and bitterly felt it.
"What has she been saying to you?" screamed the old man furiously. "But I have heard that the crocuses promise well," continued my companion imperturbably. "Ha! You put me off, do you?" said our new visitor, taking a step forward and shaking his hunting-crop. "I know you, you scoundrel! I have heard of you before. You are Holmes, the meddler." My friend smiled. "Holmes, the busybody!"
But, frankly, I've no doubt whatever that Miss Rendall simply forgot him when you asked her." "All the characters seem cleared except mine," I remarked. "Wait a bit, old chap. Now we'll come to the really suspicious things that you actually did see. First, the man on the shore." "Can't he be explained away?" "Possibly," said Jack imperturbably, "but he needs a good deal more explaining.
How did Sir Arthur Inglewood come on his track?" "Surely, you don't mean?" "Point number four," he resumed imperturbably, "Mrs. Kershaw was never requested to produce a specimen of her husband's handwriting. Why? Because the police, clever as you say they are, never started on the right tack. They believed William Kershaw to have been murdered; they looked for William Kershaw.
