I have not questioned Maggie on this point, but I am convinced that she expected to find a sort of final summons, of death's visiting-card, for one or the other of us. The paper was there, a small folded scrap, partially concealed under a jar. "Them prints was there, too," Maggie said, non-committally.
"Will you leave yourselves in my hands again?" "I'm sure we can't do better," said Miss Penny heartily. "Yesterday was a day of days. What do you say, Meg?" "It looks as though we were going to occupy a great deal of Mr. Graeme's time," said Meg non-committally. "It could not possibly be better occupied," he said exuberantly. "And how about your story, Mr. Graeme?
"There are certain conditions that I can't very well explain, and if I did you'd think I had gone crazy." "Maybe," Lou observed non-committally, but she settled herself on the bank once more with such an air of resigned anticipation that he felt forced to continue. "You know an army has to obey orders, don't you?" he floundered on desperately.
You know, because he was better skilled in chemistry, knew how to manufacture gunpowder, that the Spaniard destroyed the Aztec. May not we, who are possessing ourselves of the world and its resources, and gathering to ourselves all its knowledge, may not we nip the Slav ere he grows a thatch to his lip?" Vance Corliss shook his head non-committally, and laughed. "Oh!
Judged by the standards of her class, Marion is a splendid girl head and shoulders above the average yet these unconsciously searching questions of Smiles' are ... Hang it all, I wish I had had sense enough not to open the subject." Aloud he said non-committally, "Yes, of course it is wonderful and I know that you would do it if you were able." "I shall do it," was the confident answer.
"What's your special grouch on Eldridge, anyway?" asked Jack. "I like to worry him," replied Percy Darrow non-committally. At this moment the darkness disappeared as though some one had turned a switch. The reporter, the operator and the scientist's young assistant moved involuntarily as though dodging, and blinked. Darrow shaded his eyes with one hand and proceeded as though nothing had happened.
"Nothing," Lee returned non-committally; "I am comfortable." This, he instantly decided, sounded unfair to Fanny, and he substituted happy. Mrs. Craddock obviously was not interested in the change. "I get as tired of this as you do," she asserted abruptly; "it's like being on a merry-go-round someone else started and can't stop. You have no idea how we get to hate the tunes."
He spoke a bit rapidly, almost feverishly, under the influence of the subtle drug. "Now if we take hold of this game, why, we can shake the world as it has never yet been shaken! Eh, Waldron? What do you think now?" Waldron only grunted, non-committally. Flint with a hard glance at his unresponsive partner, once more turned to Herzog. "See here, now," directed he.
"Anybody else?" "I didn't see anybody." "You got the worst of the fight." "Yes, sir. You see, he took me unawares. I guess I could whip him if we were to meet on equal terms," added Ritter. "You may retire to the next room, Ritter, while I question Major Ruddy." "Don't you believe me?" cried the bully, in alarm. "One side of a story is only one side," answered Captain Putnam, non-committally.
"And what of Aline West?" The question whispered itself in Somerled's ears. But Mrs. MacDonald knew nothing of Aline West. And Somerled was beginning to think that, for all the boasted sagacity of experience, he knew not much more. "Thank you for your kind wishes," he said non-committally. "And now I will wish you a good day."
