As far as he could see there was no apparent cause for it. I don't think he was very enthusiastic about the mountain air idea. The fact is he was like a good many doctors under the circumstances, noncommittal wanted her under observation, and all that sort of thing." "What's your opinion?" I pressed Craig. "Do you think she has run away?"

Coppinger, a younger man, had that same watchful look; a moment later, Brent saw it in Crood's big face too. They were all watchful, all sly, these men, he decided: the sort who would sit by and listen, and admit nothing and tell nothing; already, before even he asked the questions which he had come to put, he knew that he would get no answer other than noncommittal, evasive ones.

Scott was conscious, however, of an increased friendliness towards himself on the part of most of the guests, but feeling that it was likely to prove of short duration, he remained noncommittal and indifferent. As they left the table, Miss Carleton rallied him on his appearance. "Mr. Scott, you are a mystery!" "Why so, Miss Carleton, if you please?" he asked, quickly.

They talked sympathetically about the problems of the poor. And some of them particularly Mrs. Wallis Plimpton were inclined to think Hodder's replies a trifle noncommittal. The trouble, although he did not tell them so, was that he himself had by no means solved the problem. And he felt a certain reluctance to discuss the riddle of poverty over champagne and porcelain. Mrs. Plimpton and Mrs.

"We couldn't go away as far as New London without coming to see whether you had really survived Class Day," said the former, addressing his solicitude to Mrs. Pasmer.

She has such a pretty way of bringing in Cecil. "Perhaps it is Denise." "It is cream, I know," announces Cecil. Denise's variety of creams is inexhaustible. Grandon smiles again, a sort of good-humored, noncommittal smile. It is something that pleases him very much, Violet decides, and a delicious interest brightens every feature. Denise welcomes them gladly.

"My name is Smith. Had the honour of sharing your taxi to Hendon the other day. You were good enough to ask me in for a drink." It was clearly the moment to be noncommittal. "If you've come to get it," said Richard, "you'll be unlucky." "Just thought I'd like to take a look at you, that's all." He rose to his feet, for he had been occupying the second chair and scanned Richard's face closely.

Viner felt, rather than saw, that the three solicitors and the elderly clerk were exchanging glances of amazement.

"You claim, sir, to be the Lord Marketstoke who disappeared so many years ago?" he asked, eyeing the claimant over.

I do not know of another civil war that made as many breaks in families. Meanwhile, the local authorities those of local election, not of royal appointment were yet outwardly noncommittal.

I don't know what he saw there, or what he concluded, for I did my best to keep it as noncommittal as possible. If there is any move, it must be from him. That sour-inked Irishman called Shaw has said that women are the wooers in this world. A lot he knows about it!...
