I have read the message over and over, trying to read between the lines some faint glimmer of hope; but I can get no comfort from the noncommittal words except the fact that Jack is still alive. I am on my way to the terminus of the railroad, from where the message was sent. I came this far by train, only to find all regular traffic stopped by order of the Government.
In 1902 Lord Curzon, who has taken a deep interest in this subject and is an enthusiastic advocate of public schools, appointed a commission to investigate the conduct and efficiency of the universities of India. The report was not enthusiastic or encouraging. It was entirely noncommittal.
Plainly, the big man had accused the captive of stealing cattle; he had brought the supposed culprit to face the owner of the stolen stock; he had constituted himself judge and jury, and was determined to hang the young man. The two men with the big man were noncommittal. The pale, undersized man was a mere onlooker whose sympathies were with the accused.
The above came on an occasion when Senator Gruff was in a confidential mood. Commonly, as a chief Hanway manager, he lay as blandly close and noncommittal as a clam. There was the issue of finance, Senator Gruff explained, and that was a growing source of trouble to Senator Hanway. The latter gentleman's endeavor had always been to say nothing upon finance, but silence was becoming difficult.
Honestly, if I had my way, I'd see that both she and that little Freddie Banks got a first-class whipping!" "Don't you think, Willie," said Mrs. Baxter "don't you think that, considering the rather noncommittal method of Freddie's courtship, you are suggesting extreme measures?" "Well, SHE certainly ought to be punished!" he insisted, and then, with a reversal to agony, he shuddered.
Thayer's momentary gayety left him, and he glanced at her sharply. "And you?" he asked. "I am always in rude health, just now the better for having you invade my loneliness. Do you still take only one lump?" Her tone was perfectly noncommittal. "Only one. How does it happen that I have the good luck to find you alone?" "Everybody is at Mrs. Stanley's.
"Well, then," said Henry gloomily, "what we goin' to do about it? How much you think we ought to charge her?" Herbert's expression became noncommittal. "Just let me think a minute," he said, and with his hand to his brow he stepped behind the unsuspicious Florence.
Observing that everybody was bent on spoiling this popular little houri by emphatic admiration, I made myself conspicuous by a peculiarly British stony indifference. Nor was I wrong in my tactics. The piqued little dancer was not to be ignored. One night she approached my table and challenged me in French, at which I gave a noncommittal smile. I pretended that I did not know French.
"Perhaps," Jason answered in his most noncommittal voice, since he did not have the slightest intention of continuing the trip, no matter what Mikah Samon thought. His captor had reached the same conclusion. "Put your hand back on the chair arm," he ordered, and locked the cuff into place again. He stumbled as the drive started and the ship changed direction. "What was that?" he asked.
Every day after that Arline talked about altering the satin gown. Every day Val was noncommittal and unenthusiastic. Occasionally she told Arline that she was not going to the dance, but Arline declined to take seriously so preposterous a declaration. "You want to break a leg, then," she told Val grimly on Thursday. "That's the only excuse that'll go down with this bunch.
