She forgot that it was he who, so to speak, had the choice of ground and weapons. "I have forgiven you. Why shouldn't I, when you have so royally atoned." But he obstinately refused to fence. There was nothing apologetic in this man, no indirectness in his method of attack. Parry adroitly as she might, he beat down her guard.
With the same awkward indirectness, he said vaguely, "But it might have been YOUR letters, you know?" "But it wasn't," she said, simply. "It OUGHT to have been. I wish it had" She stopped, and again regarded him with a strange expression. "Well," she said slowly, "what are you going to do?" "To find out the scoundrel who has done this," he said firmly, "and punish him as he deserves."
I thank God for returning memory, even with the misery it brings." Phoebe was silent a long time: then she said in a low, gentle voice, and with the indirectness of a truly feminine nature, "I have plenty of writing-paper in the house; and the post goes south to-morrow, such as 'tis." Christopher struggled with his misery, and trembled. He was silent a long time. Then he said, "No.
He knows what needs to be told; and he tells it straightforwardly. There is no better model for agricultural writers than "Cobbett on Gardening." There is no miserable waste of words, no indirectness of talk; what he thinks, he prints. His "Cottage Economy," too, is a book which every small landholder in America should own; there is a sterling merit in it which will not be outlived.

Are you hurt with me?" Rhoda choked. The indirectness of speech had been a shelter to her, permitting her to hint at more than she dared clothe in words.
He declared again, in defiant tones, that the right of the people to permit or exclude was clearly included in the wording of the measure. He was not willing to be lectured about indirectness. He had heard cavil enough about his amendments. In the course of a debate on March 2d, another unforeseen difficulty loomed up in the distance.
He had heretofore known only in the indirectness of theory the sudden capriciousness of mountain weather; storms that burst and cannonade without warning; trickling waters that leap overnight into maddened freshets. Now he was seeing in its blood-raw ferocity the primal combat between man and the elements. With a troubled brow Parson Acup returned and addressed McGivins.
