"Maybe we should get together at the Caffe Ladro . . . " Mo smiled noncommittally, and they parted on a friendly note. She hadn't said anything about Rob Wilcox and he hadn't asked. He and Mo were going to connect with work and art, it seemed. The personal, or the intimate, would stay in the background. Nothing wrong with that, Joe said to himself as he walked home.
"Eh bien " murmured Leclair, noncommittally. "Well, can we make it, sir?" The ace inspected the vacuum-gauges, the helicopter tachometers, and shrugged his shoulders. "'Fais tout, toi-même, et Dieu t'aidera," he quoted the cynical old French proverb. "If nothing gives way, there is a chance."
"Well, you knew a good man then," replied Wiley grimly, but Death Valley did not respond. The Widow Huff was listening behind; and besides, he had his doubts. "I'll run on ahead," said Charley noncommittally, and when Wiley arrived a canvas cot was waiting for him, fully equipped except for the sheets.
"But are you sure you can run it, Mollie or Betty?" "It's simple," replied Betty noncommittally. "It will do no harm to try." "And it's easy to stop," said Mollie. "Even if we forget to shut off the engine, by pushing down on this handle, the wheel will be raised, and won't cut into the ice. Then it will stop." "Just as when you throw out the clutch on your auto," suggested Betty. "Exactly.
"Why?" "What do you think of her?" "Rather a clever woman," he replied noncommittally. "I suppose all the people in New York who were interested in Peru knew her," I pursued, adding, "Mr. Whitney, Mendoza, Lockwood." Norton hesitated, as though he was afraid of saying too much. While I could not help admiring his caution, I found that it was most exasperating.
He turned to Fanny, put his two big hands on her shoulders, and swung her around to face the light. "Hm," he murmured, noncommittally, after that. "Hm what?" demanded Fanny. "It sounds unflattering, whatever it means." "Gloves!" repeated Father Fitzpatrick, unheeding her. "Well, now, what d'you think of that! Millions of dollars' worth, I'll wager, in your time."
They had proceeded perhaps two miles further, when the rumbling of wheels was heard behind them, and a farm wagon soon came up alongside. The driver was a man of about thirty sunburned and roughly clad. "Whoa, there," he said. The horse stopped. "Where are you two goin'?" he asked. "We're travelin'," answered Abner, noncommittally. "Where's your home?" "Some ways back." "Where are you goin'?"
This he soon cleared up, when he rasped the back of his hand across his harsh mustache, like a vulture preening its filthy plumage, and leaned back with a full-stomached sigh. "He makes six," said he, looking hard at Chadron. "Huh!" Chadron grunted, noncommittally. "I want the money, down on the nail, a thousand for the job. I'm through." "I'll have to look into it.
"It's my opinion you'd done better to have gone to the insane asylum folks about her," rejoined Cap'n Ira. "Now, Ira!" said Prudence softly. "Seeing it as you do, Cap'n Ira," the elder remarked quite equably, "I conclude that you might think that. But you formed your judgment in the heat of well, not anger, of course but without sufficient reflection." "Humph!" grunted Cap'n Ira noncommittally.
Blank's private vault?" he cried. "I think so," said Raffles Holmes, noncommittally. "Not as a crime, however, merely as a favor, and with the lofty purpose of saving an honored name from ruin.
