Each man strove to appear his natural self, and each natural self was different. Hal Campbell affected his customary cautiousness. French Louis betrayed interest. MacDonald retained his whole-souled benevolence, though it seemed to take on a slightly exaggerated tone. Kearns was coolly dispassionate and noncommittal, while Elam Harnish appeared as quizzical and jocular as ever.
Pendomer lamented, parenthetically, "never suspects a woman of discretion, until she begins to lose her waist." " and I am sure that I can rely upon your womanly tact, and finer instincts, and that sort of thing, you know to help me out of a deuce of a mess." Mrs. Pendomer ate on, in an exceedingly noncommittal fashion, as he paused, inquiringly.
She presently arranged for the best of medical care for her mother, even for a hospital stay, but her attitude grew more and more that of the noncommittal outsider, who helps without argument and disapproves without comment.

Toomey, and concluded with the statement that his desire to see that section of the country had in no wise abated and, if possible, he would do so in the early winter, at which time he would be glad to look into the merits of the irrigation project. Noncommittal, but friendly, the letter sent the blood racing through Toomey's veins like a stiff drink of brandy.
Between a Home for Lithuanian Aged and a Swedish bakery and lunch room that she had more than once frequented, a black-and-gold sign spanned what at one time had been the noncommittal front of a stately residence "Nonsectarian Home for Indigent Girls." Ascending these steps, she could feel the glance of every passer-by boring into the very back of her head, awls crawling through and through her.
That simple answer was so noncommittal, so above subterfuge, so innocent, and yet so confounding in its provocation of thought that Sampson just stared his astonishment. But I started as if I had been struck. "See here Sampson " I began, passionately. Like a flash Sally whirled into my arms and one hand crossed my lips. "It's my fault.
Being a sort of noncommittal bachelor, I ranged myself with the two abandoned husbands and we had quite a reckless time of it, talking with uninterrupted devilishness about the growth of American dentistry in European capitals, the way one has his nails manicured in Germany, the upset price of hot-house strawberries, the relative merit of French and English bulls, the continued progress of the weather and sundry other topics of similar piquancy.
