They've had no trouble." Hoddan winced. "Did you tell the Minister that?" "Hardly," said the ambassador. "It would have done you no good.

It would have been most undiplomatic to prove it."
"As though that Judith Buck wasn't forward enough as it is, without those ridiculous old men forcing her on people this way. If we had known the party was given to her, we never should have come, but now that we are here we naturally must behave as gentle folk and be decent." "Of course," echoed Nan. "We couldn't leave just as supper is announced either. That would be impolite."
At the time of the appearance of the Báb she showed such tremendous courage and power that all who heard her were astonished. She threw aside her veil despite the immemorial custom of the women of Persia, and although it was considered impolite to speak with men, this heroic woman carried on controversies with the most learned men, and in every meeting she vanquished them.
"There is something peculiar about Dora," Mrs. Lindsay would say, "she is never untruthful and never impolite; two ideas which, in the eyes of fashionable etiquette, seem antagonistic.

'I thought I could plead a better case for Polly, but I see exactly how thoughtless and impolite she was; yet, if you knew everything, auntie, dear, you would feel a little different. Do you think it was nice of Laura to repeat what Polly said right before her, and just as she was going away, when she knew it would make you uncomfortable and that you were not to blame for it? 'No, hardly.
Miss Jones was so provoking. She was utterly without tact. But now that she was to be one of the party it would be wrong to say a single impolite thing to their chaperon the whole six weeks of their holiday, no matter how provoking or tactless she might he. Madge sighed impatiently, then turned to the teacher. "No, I am not mistaken, Miss Jones. I can't be.
Also, the drug clerk was sometimes impolite enough to tell Peace that she was talking too long, and that does leave one so embarrassed.
"I I put it away in the cupboard; I suppose it is there still." "You have never used it; you dislike it?" He hesitated, no; wishing to be impolite. "Don't you think it's just a little old and shabby for a prince?" The old woman laughed long and loud, though very sweetly. "Prince, indeed!
