'Oh, I dare say it's all right' Stonor drew a Sunday paper out of his pocket. 'There's this agitation about the Woman Question. Oddly enough, it seems as if it might there's just the off-chance it might affect the issue. 'Affect it? How? God bless my soul! Lord John's transparent skin flushed up to his white hair.
"'When the purse will not open, slit it!" he hazarded, desperately choosing, on the off-chance of its correctness, the password of the Apache. "It is not the right one! It is by no means the right one!" she made reply, backing away from him suddenly, her absinthe-brightened eyes deriding him, her absinthe-sharpened laughter mocking him. "Your thoughts are in the Bois, cher ami.
If you open a trunk or lift a tray before I arrive I shall instantly send you home to your mother as incorrigible." "Very well," she agreed; "I'll be good." "And then, if Gladys is there it's only an off-chance that they come before to-morrow get her to sit with you. But don't go wandering about the hotel by yourself. And, above all, don't go out." "Goosie," said she, "of course I shan't go out.
It's not irreverent for me to say it, I hope but God comes in on the off-chance, George. See? Don't you be too cocksure of anything, good or bad. That's what I make out of it. I could have sworn. Well, do you think I particular as I am would have touched those Union Pacifics with trust money at all, if I hadn't thought it a thoroughly good thing good without spot or blemish?... And it was bad!
On my way up to bed I flushed Dilly from a window-seat on the staircase, where she had evidently been lingering on the off-chance of a supplementary good-night from Dicky. "Well?" I said severely. "Well?" "Do you know what time it is?" "I expect your wife will tell you that when you get upstairs," said Dilly. I tried a fresh line.
"We haven't had much practice," said the lady. "We've got to do something, and we've thought that an artist in your line might perhaps make something of us," her husband threw off. He further mentioned that they didn't know many artists and that they had gone first, on the off-chance he painted views of course, but sometimes put in figures; perhaps I remembered to Mr.
He veered towards the off-chance of this opening, in a delirium of icy fury, and plunged away into the dark lane, walking slowly, on firm legs.

It would be quite as just to complain of their freakish, unusual characters.
I'm sick of asking the interminable question, `Does So-and-so live here? The present cook-man, however, remembered the queer name as that belonging to his predecessor, and informed me that, not having made the business pay over here, he had decamped two years ago without saying good-bye to his creditors, and announced his intention of starting a cafe in Paris. This, then, is my off-chance.
Thus it was as late as five in the afternoon that, wearing the peach-colored suit trimmed with scarlet ribbon, and a new French beaver, the exquisite came upon Lady Drogheda walking in the gardens with only an appropriate peacock for company. Wycherley implored Lady Drogheda to walk with him to Teviot Bay, on the off-chance of recovering his sleeve-links.
The same excuse, however, cannot be made in other cases when shells fell among houses that are not in line with any defensive work, camp, or arsenal. One cannot suppose that a mere desire for wanton destruction of life and property directed the shots, which were probably aimed on the off-chance of hitting officers known or believed to be living in those houses.
