Cameron shot a keen glance at his questioner. "Well, considerably," he answered non-committally. "A dollar an acre?" "Two of them." A brief silence ensued, during which Wentworth was conscious that the eyes of the other were upon him. "Seven dollars an acre," he said. "Pretty high, isn't it, when you consider the inaccessibility to your markets?" Cameron laughed.
Hasketh may think it would be better, for her sake, not to have the chance," my wife sighed, and she turned her look from Tedham upon me, as if she wished me rather than him to answer. "The only way to find out is to ask her," I answered, non-committally, and rather more lightly than I felt about it. In fact, the turn the affair had taken interested me greatly.
Far from fulminating any accusations the canny Scot announced himself as the bearer of glad tidings. A fortune, he announced, was coming to the pasha or to the pasha's family. A very rich old woman in France had decided to change her will. There he paused and the pasha continued to smile non-committally, but the word fortune was operating.
"You are going to have difficulty meeting your July notes, as it is." Heinzman hardly seemed to breathe, but a flicker of red blazed in his eye. "Proceed," he repeated non-committally, after a moment. "I intend," went on Newmark, "to furnish this money myself. It must, however, seem to be loaned by another. I want you to lend this money on mortgage." "What for?" asked Heinzman.
"H-m!" he said non-committally. "Doesn't the table look nice?" said Colina quickly. "Very nice," he said. "We must prove to ourselves once in a while that we are not savages!" "Naturally! Do you want me to dress?" Colina, who had not looked at her father, nevertheless felt the inimical atmosphere. She stooped to a touch of flattery. "You are always well dressed," she said, smiling at him.
Why, just as sure as I'm sitting here on the stern of the sloop Mist, just so sure am I that we wouldn't know what to do if a real adventure came along. Now, would we?" "Oh, I don't know," I answered non-committally. "Well, you wouldn't be a coward, would you?" he demanded. I was sure I wouldn't and said so. "But you don't have to be a coward to lose your head, do you?"
Are you thinking of ski-ing this afternoon, Rose?" "You bet!" murmured Billy, under his breath. He too had seen the distant figure of Sir Eustace on the mountain-side. "It depends," said Rose, non-committally. "Captain Brent and Sir Eustace have been on skis all the morning," said her mother. "We must see what they say about it." Billy spun a coin into the air behind her back.
"Nothing else worth reporting, I think.... Do you recognize this coat and stick as belonging to Mr Matheson, sir?" Lars Larssen nodded non-committally, and ordered the young fellow to get a trunk telephone call through to Sir Francis Letchmere at Monte Carlo. Dean had already found out that he was staying at the Hotel des Hespérides.
"Do you believe that Royal Maillot is guilty of this monstrous crime?" she asked me point-blank. Before I had time to frame a reply, she once more sprang impetuously from her chair, her face flushed and her eyes sparkling with anger. "Answer me, sir, do you believe that?" I replied, then, calmly, if non-committally: "As Mr.
