I considered her to be a cheerful prevaricator, and told her she didn't know what she was talking about. At this she curtsied humbly and assented with the "Yis, ma'am" of the lowly, and all I could do was to keep on despairing. It was really the most dismal afternoon I ever spent, and when it began to get dark I gave up all hope.
We signify to you that in our presence the name of the anathematised prevaricator, Acacius, was struck out of the diptychs, as likewise that of the other bishops who followed him in communion. So also the names of Anastasius and Zeno.
She knew very well that Mary Coombe had developed the habit of lying. "You see," went on the prevaricator cheerfully, "it would be necessary to run down to Toronto soon anyway. I haven't a rag fit to wear and neither has Jane. But Detroit is better. Things are much cheaper across the line. And easy as anything to smuggle. All you need to do is to wear them once and swear they're old."

Looking on Mariette, he admired her, but he knew that she was a prevaricator who was living with her career-making husband; that what she had said the other day was untrue, and that she only wished and neither knew why to make him love her. And, as has been said, he was both pleased and disgusted. Several times he attempted to leave, took his hat but still remained.
Tell me truly: Weren't you troubled; about the business, and the store? Truly, now." Captain Dan rubbed his chin. He wished very much to deny the allegation, or at least to dodge the truth. But he was a poor prevaricator at any time, and his daughter was looking him straight in the eye. "Well," he faltered, "I I How in time did you guess that?
