"Raffles!" said he, laconically, and I understood. "And then what?" I asked. "Let it alone, unopened, safe as a church, until Mrs. Wilbraham Ward-Smythe discovers her loss, which will be to-morrow afternoon, and then " "Well?" "Mr.
But presently he caught sight of his teacher hurrying down the street, and almost before he knew it he said: "It's all a lie I've been giving you, old man! Bright never hit me a lick!" "But the mark!" almost shrieked the parson. "I done it myself," explained "Dodd," laconically, "to give you and the old woman a stand off with!" It was just as "Dodd" said this that Mr.
"But, John," he asked, "could a man hit in the way de Spain was hit, climb into a saddle and make a get-away?" "Henry might," answered Lefever laconically. Scott, with two men who had been helping him, rode in at two o'clock after a fruitless search to wait for light. At daybreak they picked up the trail.
Accordingly, when the audience took place, Duchastel, who headed the deputation, said to him laconically: "Sire, the national legislative assembly is sitting; we are deputed to inform you of this." Louis XVI. replied still more drily: "I cannot visit you before Friday." This conduct of the court towards the assembly was impolitic, and little calculated to conciliate the affection of the people.
"Please let him go," she wheedled softly. "Please let him go for me!" Young Denny backed away a step from her upturned face and outstretched hands, grinning a little as he slowly shook his head.

One hour ought to be enough to get on deck and drive these scoundrels either overboard or below. Then I think there'll be some prize-money to be earned, for they are sure to be running a cargo to-night. Silence! No cheering. Now then, to work. Waters, how are we to get up the hatch?" "Powder, sir," said the gunner laconically. "And blow ourselves to pieces."
"I must refuse," said Christian laconically, almost before the words had left the Jesuit's lips. "As I explained before, I am simply a public servant; what I happen to know must ever be at the public disposal or I am useless." A short silence followed this remark. When at length the Provincial spoke his tone was cold and reserved. "Of course," he said, "I expected a refusal at first.
It was not that he felt afraid, but there was a kind of dread of the unknown. What would it be like to die? "I hear we're off soon," said Alec McPhail to him one day. "There's no telling," said Tom laconically. "Ay, but we shall," replied Alec, "and I shall be glad, I'm getting sick of this life in the camps." "I doan't wonder at it," said Tom. "What micht ye mean by that?" asked the Scotchman.
Maverick Narkom was there alone, standing beside his desk, with the curtains of his window drawn and pinned together, and at his elbow an unlighted lamp of violet-coloured glass, standing and looking thoughtfully down at something which lay before him. He turned as his visitor entered and made an open-handed gesture toward it. "Look here," he said laconically, "what do you think of this?"
Billy Roberts was a rider and knew or thought he knew just how "sore" Andy must be feeling. Also, in the kindness of his heart he tried blunderingly to hide his knowledge. "Going up against the rough ones?" he queried with careful carelessness, in the hope of concealing that he had heard the tale of Andy's disgrace. "I sure am," Andy returned laconically, with no attempt to conceal anything.
