General Merritt did not tolerate any folly about "joint occupation," and sharply demanded the insurgents should restore the city the water supply from the mountain stream that is diverted from the Pasig to the city, and Aguinaldo claimed credit on the water question in these terms of prevarication and presumption.
After more than an hour of questions put without reserve, and of answers given without prevarication, I had traveled over the whole ground laid out by the narratives which appear in these pages, and had arrived at my conclusion so far as Philip Dunboyne was concerned.
It would have been mere cowardly prevarication to lock it away under circumstances which took the matter out of the dominion of "luck" altogether. I wonder that under such circumstances it has not fallen, for the nervous trepidation of the folks who were made to handle it may be imagined!
"What's the matter?" he said, stopping, too. Something he said had startled her, evidently. "How can you say such a thing?" she cried. "You love to fight!" "Me?" "You do! You love fighting. You always have loved fighting." He was dumbfounded. "Why, I never had a fight in my life!" She cried out in protest of such prevarication. "Well, I never did," he insisted, mildly.
Desiring to be better acquainted with the particulars of this assertion, he turned up the page referred to, and there found, to his entire satisfaction, "Mr Justice Best said he had a great mind to commit the witness for prevarication."
The old offender's assurance was sensibly diminished by this proof of her prevarication. However, instead of discussing the subject any further, the magistrate glided over it as if he did not attach much importance to the incident. "And the other men," he resumed, "those who were killed: did you know them?" "No, good sir, no more than I knew Adam and Eve."
"There's nothing to know; they were like any other tourist's." "Really, Major, you throw your opportunities away," he said, and I saw he did not believe me. "What opportunities?" I asked. He smiled. "Well, not those for prevarication, certainly." "Isn't that a necessary qualification of a diplomatic attaché?" I said.
That Miss Tuttle had admitted, though not till after much prevarication and apparent subterfuge, that she had extended her walk on that fatal night not only as far as the Moore house, but that she had entered it and penetrated as far as the library door at the very moment the shot was fired within.
I see that you're prepared for prevarication. By George! it shall come out of you, if I get it by main force. The Duke compelled me to give you that appointment in my Company. Now, sir, did you, or did you not, go to him and deliberately state to him that you believed the affairs of the Company to be in a bad condition infamously handled, likely to involve his honour as a gentleman?
But it appeared to him very remarkable that so much could happen, in so short a time, as the result of a mere momentary impulsive prevarication. A Pail Sticking out of the pocket of Leek's light overcoat was a folded copy of the Daily Telegraph.
