I should hate any mere girl to whom he held out his hand but, if you are that other and if you are his wife. . ." "Nonsense," exclaimed Paula decidedly. "Consider what you are saying. When Orion tempted you to perjure yourself, did he behave as my friend or as my foe, my bitterest and most implacable enemy?" "Before the judges, to be sure . . ." replied the girl looking down thoughtfully.
Louise hesitated a moment; a cold shiver ran through her, she felt as if she was about to perjure herself; but as she looked into the beautiful face of her child, whose eyes were fixed on her with a strange expression, she overcame her unwillingness. "Here is my hand I swear that all your father told you is false!" Camilla laughed gleefully.
She had been most favourably impressed with the good-humoured giant, with his honest face and kindly blue eyes; but Verity, a brown slip of a girl with big solemn eyes, how was she to perjure herself by pretending that she was attracted by such a unique little piece of eccentricity. "I wish she did not look so like a boy," she observed in a deprecating voice.
"I mean that you have helped a man get into the Trebassof villa by night when you were on guard under the window of the little sitting-room. You see that there is no use deceiving us any longer. I play with you frankly, good play, good money. The name of that man, and you have a thousand roubles." "I am ready to swear on the ikon of..." "Don't perjure yourself." "I have always loyally served..."
He had never seen anybody of the direct and shameless methods of Madame Beattie, willing to ask the most intimate questions, make the most unscrupulous demands. He remembered the young clerk who had wanted to perjure himself for his sake. "That would have made a difference, I suppose," he said, "young Williams' testimony. I wonder how he happened to think of it."
"And what if your own fail you?" "In her? Never. I call every saint to witness!" "And yet and yet ah, this is a blind," he shouted; "you know all and perjure yourself to spare me!" At that, my son, I felt a knife in my breast. I looked at him in anguish and his gaze was a wall of metal. Mine seemed to slip away from it, like a clawless thing struggling up the sheer side of a precipice.
"I cannot say that they were my wife's. Do you wish me to perjure myself?" "A man should know his wife's hands as well as he knows her face." "Very likely." "And you are ready to swear these were not the hands of your wife?" "I am ready to swear I did not so consider them." "And that is all?" "That is all." The Coroner frowned and cast a glance at the jury.
Five minutes ago she would have thrown her arms round him, and besought him, with tender phrases, to tell her what is on his mind. Now she stands apart from him, with a cold, lifeless smile upon her still colder lips. "No! Do not perjure yourself," says she quickly, seeing him about to speak. "Do you think I do not know? That I cannot see by your face that there is something?
"I regret that you felt it necessary to perjure yourself," she said levelly, and then broke into a soft little laugh as she laid her hand on his arm once more. "Come! Let us have a semi-public view of Hetty's portrait." He looked up alertly at the mention of the girl's name. "By the way, where is Miss Castleton?" he asked, drawing a long breath as if the air had suddenly become wholesome.
The Dago Duke's voice took on a purring, feline softness which was more emphatic and final than any loud-mouthed vehemence "What do I want? I want you to tell the officers that you passed two men riding on a run from Dubois's sheep-camp two Indians or 'breeds' in moccasins and I want you to do it quick!" "You want me to perjure myself and you 'want me to do it quick," she mimicked.
