"If I had seen it coming, John, believe me I'd have run from it. But all at once it had come, and it's a question now, not of what might have been, but of Lucy's happiness." "Yes," he said, "we mustn't think of ourselves now, or of the children. We must think of what is best for Lucy. And what is best for Lucy can't be thought out offhand.
He hardly looked up on Maurice's entrance, and cut short the young man's apologetic beginnings. "Well, what is it? What brings you here?" As Maurice hesitated before the difficulty of plunging offhand into the object of his visit, Schwarz pointed with his knife at a chair: he could not speak, for he had just put the best part of a PFANNKUCHEN in his mouth, and was chewing hard.
"Do you think I should dare to run away to the Normal?" she asked fearfully. The doctor tilted back his hat and scratched his head. "Leave me to think it over oncet, Tillie, and till to-morrow mornin' a'ready I'll give you my answer. My conscience won't give me the dare to adwise you offhand in a matter that's so serious like what this is."
Bill Opus and Jeremiah Fugue have no secrets from him none whatever and in conversation he creates the impression that old Issy Sonata was his first cousin. He can tell you offhand which one of the Shuberts Lee or Jake wrote that Serenade. He speaks of Mozart and Beethoven in such a way a stranger would probably get the idea that Mote and Bate used to work for his folks.
The dark young man flushed, but his eyes met those of Dick steadily. "You are right, sir. I stand between her and trouble if I can." "Good. Glad you do." "So I make you an offer. I ask you to relinquish your shadowy claim to the illegal Moreño grant." "Well, I can't tell you offhand just what I'll do, Don Manuel.
A few hints only can be given here, and these will be concerned with the informal, offhand speech rather than with the formal address.

Thurlow Weed, with his offhand, apparently sincere, if not polished ways, may not be too repulsive to English refinement, provided he does not buttonhole his interlocutionists, or does not pat them on the shoulder. So Thurlow Weed will be dined, wined, etc. But doubtless the London press will show him up, or some "Secesh" in London will do it.
"I shan't go round there any more; I shall look out for a ship to-morrow." George Crofts said that perhaps it was the best thing he could do, and 'e asked 'im in a offhand sort o' way 'ow long the room was paid up for. Mrs. Mitchell 'ad a few words to say about it next day, but Gerty told 'er to save 'er breath for walking upstairs.
So I took a rifle which I owned and which I was a good shot with and I privately went down through the bottoms and came out on the creek bank in the deep cut right behind Stackpole Brothers' gristmill. I should say offhand this was then about three o'clock in the evening.
So now he hemmed, and merely said: "We're fighting a mercenary foe." Shelby bent for an instant to his figures. Then, with offhand abruptness: "There's something I never told you. When I went into this campaign I mortgaged my real estate holdings here in town. I tell you now because I must negotiate a loan on my share in the Eureka, and of course you are the man to approach." Bowers started.
