"I should call it very disgraceful, Mrs Greenow." To this she made no reply, and then he thought that he might begin his work. "Mrs Greenow, may I say Arabella?" "Mr Cheesacre!" "But mayn't I? Come, Mrs Greenow. You know well enough by this time what it is I mean. What's the use of shilly-shallying?" "Shilly-shallying, Mr Cheesacre! I never heard such language.
He was called upon to act in a case of great emergency, and was by no means sure that he saw his way. It had been hinted to him by Miss Brown, on the one side, that it behoved her to look to herself, and take her pigs to market without any more shilly-shallying, by which expression the fair girl had intended to signify that it would suit her now to name her wedding-day.
Upon the whole, I rejoiced that Lorna was not present now. For all of us were resolved this time to have no more shilly-shallying; but to go through with a nasty business, in the style of honest Englishmen, when the question comes to "Your life or mine." There was hardly a man among us who had not suffered bitterly from the miscreants now before us.
Why, there was Mark Anthony, Caesar's lieutenant the Hercules, mailed Bacchus, Roman Anthony the great dashing captain whom his soldiers so adored even he was shilly-shallying with the situation, and not daring to say Caesar shall be avenged. And Anthony, you might be sure, would want no competitor least of all in the boy named heir in Caesar's will.
"It puts me out to have him shilly-shallying around like this," she said. "I'll give him a good talking to when he gets back. This other arrangement has been understood between Mrs. McNutt and myself for years." She was an irritating person. I found it not a little difficult to keep my temper with her. It's easier to fight dragons than to temporize with them and appeal to their better nature.
"I see you ain't got the money on you now, and I don't want to be too 'ard on you. I'll give you a chance. I'll give you till Saturday to turn it over. My advice is to borrow from Mr. Acting. He'll lend it you, I should think; anyhow, I can't stand shilly-shallying here all night, no more than I can stand the loss of that grand gun, so I'm off.
"You are shilly-shallying with me," said the colonel, sharply; his patience was evidently beginning to give out. "No one can join a society by himself. To whom did you communicate your wish to join it?" Silence. "Will you have the kindness to answer me?" "Not when you ask questions of that kind." Arthur spoke sullenly; a curious, nervous irritability was taking possession of him.
The constable, who had been chewing a straw all this while with great philosophy, replied that if they went away at once they would have time enough, but that if they stood shilly-shallying there, any longer, they must go straight to the Mansion House; and finally expressed his opinion that that was where it was, and that was all about it.
If a thing was to be done, it was love first, and hammer and tongs to follow; but no shilly-shallying between. She added with a little sigh: "If I had had my freedom three years, I would have delivered him." "Have you the permission of your Voices to break out of prison whenever you can?" "I have asked their leave several times, but they have not given it."
We ain't always to go on shilly-shallying, spending the money, and ruining the business, and living from hand to mouth, as though there was no end to anything. I've got myself to look to, and I don't mean to go into the workhouse if I can help it!" "The workhouse, Maryanne!" "I said the workhouse, father, and I meant it.
