"Plump she'll go in his canvas bag, along with his sea boots and his palm and needle, if she's not precious careful, with her shillyshallying," said Zinie Shadd. "I know the character of the man, from long acquaintance, and I know that what he says he'll do he'll do, and no holding off at arm's length, either, for any considerable period of time." Such was the situation of Cad Sills.
Champ Clark is a good fellow, but impossible as President. "I think a good deal will depend upon what this Congress does. Taft may redeem himself. He was fairly strong at the end of the last session, but went off lamentably on account of his wavering and shillyshallying on so many matters during his speaking trip. His speeches generally hurt him, and rarely benefit him.
There could be no more shillyshallying; we had put our hands to a big business. In spite of the noise of the march, my spirits were rather dashed by the thought of those two men, lying dead somewhere on the road behind us, killed by their own countrymen. We are said to be a sober people; but none of those who saw Lyme that morning would have had much opinion of our sobriety.
"Everything is lost through this shillyshallying timidity, called prudence," cried Paul Jones, starting to his feet; "to be effectual, war should be carried on like a monsoon, one changeless determination of every particle towards the one unalterable aim. But in vacillating councils, statesmen idle about like the cats'-paws in calms. My God, why was I not born a Czar!" "A Nor'wester, rather.
Lord, and Ted is just as bad! He wants to go to college, and he doesn't want to go to college. Only one of the three that knows her own mind is Tinka. Simply can't understand how I ever came to have a pair of shillyshallying children like Rone and Ted.
Let that man know you are not going to endure his shillyshallying any longer. I'LL back you up." "I dunno," said Janet hopelessly. "I dunno if I could ever get up enough spunk. Things have drifted so long. But I'll think it over." Anne felt that she was disappointed in John Douglas.
But she came, looking mischievous and yet demure, with her head down but her eyes peering under their long upper lashes. "Why don't you send this fellow about his business?" said Philip. Kate looked up in blank surprise. "What fellow?" she said. "What fellow?" said Philip, "why, this one that is shillyshallying with you night after night." "You can never mean your own cousin, Philip?" said Kate.
"How are you?" was all he could bring himself to say. "Pleased to meet you," answered Hardy, and turned away, "Red" and Angela, interested spectators of this foolish proceeding, sat together on the little settee by the window near the door, and smiled at the shillyshallying of two grown men who should have known better. Civilization!
"That's no reason for you to stand here gawking! You've got to go and tell her. She wouldn't listen to me; but you're a man and his friend. You can make her see the injustice of it all. She's to blame as much as mamma. This never would have happened if it hadn't been for her shillyshallying." Lord James paused before replying, his clear gray eyes dark with doubt and indecision.
"And what is that?" said Halbert. Jim said nothing, but looked at the couple among the flower-beds. "Is that all?" said Halbert. "What will you bet me that that affair is not concluded to-night?" "I'll bet you five pounds to one it ain't," said Jim; "nor any time this twelvemonth. They'll go on shillyshallying half their lives, I believe." "Nevertheless I'll bet with you.
