What good would I be? You know I can't be tactful. Besides, I've got an appointment with Melton." Lydia rose from where she knelt by the bed. Her chin was quivering. "Why, you make me feel so so queer! Both of you! As though it were anything to see Paul when I've known him always." Her mother seized on the rôle opened to them by this speech, and said quickly: "Why, of course! Aren't we silly!
The conductor turned out to have rather a pleasing tenor voice. The witch and Sarah Brown knocked at the Higgins' door five minutes before supper-time. Lady Arabel herself opened it. "My dears, isn't it too dretful. All our servants are gone. It's an extraordinary thing, they never can stand Rrchud and his ways." The tactful Sarah Brown nudged the witch. "Better not stay," she murmured.
Simpson's absence on account of a headache, and asked him if he would not have a fan; when he refused it she made him take it, and while he sat helplessly dangling it from his hand, she asked him about the summer he had had, and whether he had passed it in New York. She was very intelligent about the heat in New York, and tactful in keeping the one-sided talk from falling.
To answer her with some non-committal, tactful response would open up cordial relations at once and afford the chance easily and gracefully to lead the talk to another brand of polish. Dealer "Do you prefer 'Cobra' polish, madam? For high-grade shoes such as you wear we find this brand more generally serviceable and liked."
At times Angela would be left behind, at times taken, when Eugene could arrange it; but he found that he had to be tactful and accede to Colfax's indifference mostly. Eugene would always explain to her how it was. He was sorry for her in a way, and yet he felt there was some justice in the distinction. She was not exactly suited to that topmost world in which he was now beginning to move.
I should suggest that if the young woman is someone in whom you are particularly interested" he gave a tactful cough which Roger understood well "the best thing you can do is to place her for a few weeks in a quiet sanatorium. There is one near Grasse; either Dr. Sartorius or I could arrange it, for you." "I see, doctor. Well, we will think about it."
In hoc vince! He heard her coming. Now how should he begin? He must be very tactful. He must break it to her gently. Helen, closing the door behind her, came slowly down the sunny room. The graceful lines of her tall figure looked well, in the severe simplicity of her riding-habit. Her mass of beautiful hair was tucked away beneath her riding-hat.
He was not by nature a gossip, but Hermia had not been too tactful and it was a good story the sanctity of which, upon the mind of a man of De Folligny's temperament, might not be impressive. She would keep her promise to Markham and persuade Pierre to silence. No one should know by word of mouth
He who neglects these ready-made chances throws away precious advantage for his appeal and misses the psychological moment. So much for the seasons and their memories. We have experience, also, of the way in which the watchful and tactful preacher will profit from the occurrences of his time. In the events of the day much material for the pointing of appeal may often be found.
Perhaps they might have been won over by a tactful Court: but the Bourbons, especially that typical émigré, the Comte d'Artois, were nothing if not tactless, witness their shelving of the Old Guard and formation of the Maison du Roi, a privileged and highly paid corps of 6,000 nobles and royalist gentlemen.
