"I don't play bridge," said Brett mendaciously, adding sotto voce to Lady Susan: "A least, I can't afford to play for a penny a hundred, beloved aunt."

Ann laughed in spite of herself, never having expressed any such desire as was thus coolly attributed to her.
He went directly back to his daughter, and reported Burnamy's behavior with entire exactness. He dwelt upon his making the best of a bad business in refusing to help Stoller out of it, dishonorably and mendaciously; but he did not conceal that it was a bad business. "Now, you know all about it," he said at the end, "and I leave the whole thing to you. If you prefer, you can see Mrs. March.

"Here she is," Jimmy said, from behind a temporary eclipse of black cloak and traveling bag. He was on top of the situation now, and he was mendaciously cheerful. He had NOT said, "Here is my wife."

"I can't make any conditions, Mr. Jellicoe." "No. I will make them, and you will accept them. Otherwise you will not arrest me." "It's no use for you to talk like that," said Badger. "If you don't let me in I shall have to break in. And I may as well tell you," he added mendaciously, "that the house is surrounded." "You may accept my assurance," Mr.

"You're not real journalists, you know, and " "Why aren't we journalists?" asked Louise. For a moment Hetty was puzzled how to reply. "You are doing very good editorial work," she said mendaciously, "but, after all, you are only playing at journalism.
"Ah! pardon me if I've been indiscreet; but I concluded from what you said that this ah banquet was furnished by a professional caterer." "Oh, the banquet? Yes, that came from the Stores," said Horace, mendaciously. "The the Oriental Cookery Department. They've just started it, you know; so so I thought I'd give them a trial.
