Such a silly thing as running away." "Of course I did, ma'am," said Wiggleswick, who went on mendaciously to explain that he had used every means in his power to prevail on his master to submit to the orthodox ceremony for the sake of the family. "Then you might have given me a hint as to what was going on." Wiggleswick assumed a shocked expression. "And disobey my master? Orders is orders, ma'am.
As I told him the pity of it all that he must have suffered for he has suffered, hasn't he?" "He has gone through Hell," said I. She was silent for a few moments. Then she said: "What's the good of going round and round in a circle? You either understand or you don't." By way of consolation I mendaciously assured her that I understood. I don't think I understand now.
He looked at the pigeons and then he looked at us, and went his way smiling and shaking his head. "Juliet," said I. She looked up quickly with sparkling eyes and a frank smile that was yet a little shy, too. "Yes." "Why did he smile that old gentleman when he looked at us?" "I can't imagine," she replied mendaciously. "It was an approving smile," I said.
Today he was mendaciously telling a lady that he had a book published by Suvorin; I, of course, put on an expression of awe. My money is all safe, except what I have eaten. They won't feed me for nothing, the scoundrels. I am neither gay nor bored, but there is a sort of numbness in my soul. I like to sit without moving or speaking.

"But have you no goods or chattels, Miss Leigh? And ought not you to have a letter with sailing orders?" "I have two boxes somewhere in the hold. No, I didn't expect a letter, I was to telegraph at Liverpool, and come right off. This is the address: "Mrs. Leighton, "Leighton Court "Calmshire." "Why, that is my line!" said the sailor, mendaciously. "I can travel with you as far as Calmshire."
Don't grow 'm like that at the Ladies' Aid meeting at the First Baptist Church, do they?" He settled back in his chair, chortling. Phil smiled as he tossed aside his hat. "Blame it on the fog, Uncle Milt. I was foolish enough to trip over something in the dark and take a header down the Canoe Club stairs into the water," he explained mendaciously. "Me for the woods to-morrow without fail.
"Kinder stranger in this country, hain't ye, Jim?" drawled the boy who lived there, and the question brought a sullen flush to the other's cheekbones. "Jest a-passin' through," he vouchsafed. "I reckon ye'd find the wagon road more handy," suggested Samson. "Some folks might 'spicion ye fer stealin' long through the timber." The skulking traveler decided to lie plausibly. He laughed mendaciously.
"You'd better be careful how you talk," said Burns menacingly. "What I say I mean." "Then all I can say is that you have told a falsehood. You are the man, I suppose, who entered our cabin at night and stole money out of a trunk." "I don't know anything about your trunk," said Burns mendaciously. "But I have no time to talk I want that money."
An anachronism here, a secondhand idea there, and the West End Wasp shrieked its war-whoop in an occasional note; or the Minerva published a letter from a correspondent in the Scilly Islands, headed "Another Literary Jack Sheppard," to say that in his "Imperial Dictionary" he had discovered with profound indignation a whole column of words feloniously and mendaciously appropriated by the writer of such and such an article in the Cheapside.
But there was such a scandal over the affair that my grandfather hushed it up. I can't say exactly what took place. But I know it happened at a small pub kept by a woman called Krill.
