The policeman who had struck the blow testified that the prisoner had resisted arrest; a second policeman testified, "I seen the prisoner hit him first, your Honour," which caused Comrade Mabel Smith to cry out, "Oh, the ungrammatical prevaricator!" The upshot of the trial was that each of the defendants was fined ten dollars.
But an Englishman is nothing if not a prevaricator; he calls it being scrupulously truthful. "I have no right to catechize Lady Gwendolen," said he. "And her parents have, of course. I see. But if her parents, are convinced as I certainly am in this case, and I think my husband is, almost that there is an unreal element on Gwen's side, it ought to ... to carry weight with you."
Then her tone changed instantly to one of honeyed sweetness. "No," she said, "you're such an artistic prevaricator that I'll give you one dinner at Cuyler's as your well-earned reward." Christy Mason dropped her pan of fudge, seized a candle from the chiffonier and held it close to Bob's prostrate form. "Girls," she shrieked, "it's true. Bob's blushing.
"We've had a very anxious, worrying week in the House. I've scarcely had time to get my meals. You surely didn't suppose I had forgotten you did you?" "I didn't suppose either way. It didn't matter." The man at the other end of the wire smiled openly in his empty room. "Prevaricator," was his thought 'but, by Gad, she's game." "Well, anyhow I hadn't, and I wasn't likely to.
Is the torture finished? And pitiful at last, he dooms him to death death, the sole fear of the living! death, the unknown world! He sends before him a furious soul which will wait for him. Oh! has he never seen the vision of vengeance? Has he never seen before falling asleep the flayed prevaricator?"
"Cavilling, not gravelling," said Don Quixote, "thou prevaricator of honest language, God confound thee!" "Don't find fault with me, your worship," returned Sancho, "for you know I have not been bred up at court or trained at Salamanca, to know whether I am adding or dropping a letter or so in my words. Why!
"Why," drawled Hester, "that pin Dorothy wears in her blouse was on crooked and it attracted my attention." That was the second thing about Hester Grimes. She was not alone a dunce when it came to acting, she was a prevaricator as well. What might have happened following this explosion of bad temper and ill-feeling, had Mr. Sharp himself not entered the room, nobody will ever know.
You tried to be severe with me, Helen; but your voice didn't ring true, and you are the poorest sort of prevaricator I know. And the reason those set forms wouldn't work at the right moment is that they were addressed to the silent air. You are near me now, my sweet. You are almost in my arms.
"Shrug." "Did I shrug? I did so unconsciously. Perhaps I was thinking of O'Mally and his flock of tourists." "Doesn't it annoy you?" "Not in the least. It has been a fine comedy. I believe he is the most accomplished prevaricator I ever met. He remembers the lie of yesterday and keeps adding to it. I don't see how he manages to do it. He is better than Pietro.
"I'll handle him, though," he muttered to himself. "There's a way to handle every man, and I rather think that this one'll come to his feed before we get done with him." Showing the Dilemma of Dan Anderson, the Doubt of Leading Citizens, and the Artless Performance of a Pastoral Prevaricator
