I hate hotels and " Louise lay silent for a moment. Then she reached out and took Sonya's hand. "Yes, you unskilful prevaricator," she said. "You may come and see me through." Sonya held the hand tightly in her own. "There's one thing more," she went on, hesitatingly. "Laurie and Mr. Bangs and I wondered if perhaps you wouldn't feel more comfortable if Mr. Warren came home.
Something told him the other was deliberately lying, and the fluency with which he delivered that remarkable story announced the self-named Jake Storms an accomplished fakir, if ever there was one. So Max, while not wishing to deliberately tell the man to his face that he was a prevaricator, set about catching him in a little trap.
Calhoun, I ain't so fresh as to make remarks about a lady. I'm a prevaricator of the truth, but only when it's abserlutely necessary. And on the other hand, I'm a born protector of women. Why, I'd be only too tickled to find a gentleman suspect. Or, at least, to clear Miss Van Allen from all s'picion." "Why do you feel such a kindly interest in the lady?" "This house, for one reason.
Not your ordinary prevaricator, who skirts along the coast of truth, keeping ever within sight of the headlands and promontories of probability-whose excursions are limited to short, fair-weather reaches into the ocean of imagination, and who paddles for port as if the devil were after him whenever a capful of wind threatens a storm of exposure; but a bold, sea-going liar, who spurns a continent, striking straight out for blue water, with his eyes fixed upon the horizon of boundless mendacity.
You'd get along just fine with mother. And she needs you, honest. She isn't very strong, yet she can't find anyone to suit, down there " "I might not suit, either," said Marian, her voice somewhat muffled. "Oh, I'm not afraid of that. And there's a message I want to send I promised mother I'd " "Oh, hush! You're really an awfully poor prevaricator, Bud. This is to help me, you're planning."
I couldn't possibly imagine what I had in me to make it worth his while. It was very pretty to see how he baffled himself, for in truth my body was full only of chills, and my head had nothing in it but that wretched steamboat business. It was evident he took me for a perfectly shameless prevaricator. At last he got angry, and, to conceal a movement of furious annoyance, he yawned. I rose.

He did not read the rest of the letter, but got up, went over to the fire, threw it in, and watched it burn. "I ought to have done so when I received it," he said, almost kindly now.
At my return I learned that the King had spoken of this judgment to the Chief President, and that that magistrate had blamed it, saying the cause was indubitably ours, and that he had always thought so! If he thought so, why oppose us so long? and if he did not think so, what a prevaricator was he to reply with this flattery, so as to be in accord with the King?
Unfortunately, prevarication has this drawback: that, if ever the truth comes to light, the prevaricator is in just the same case as if he had lied to the most shameless extent, and for a man to point out that the words he used contained no absolute falsehood will seldom restore confidence.
You are a thief, for you steal the secrets of others. You are a prevaricator, for you tell things which are not so. Mr. Rabbit, you are all these a lazy, shiftless sneak, thief and prevaricator. "It was dreadful. Mother Nature paused, and Mr. Rabbit felt oh so ashamed.
