"Bravo!" she cried. "You see? Corni and I, we win." "Look at their faces!" said Mr. Pedlow, tactlessly drawing attention to what was, for the moment, an undeniably painful sight. "Don't tell me an Italian knows how to make a good Martini!"
After that, with a passing admonition to his friend not to burst, my brother-in-law returned to his repast. So far, the toasts had all been of a most conventional and inevitable character. Now, automatically but a little tactlessly, we all turned to see what Dolly and Robin were going to do. From the standpoint of the last two toasts they were certainly in a rather delicate position.
When we began to speak of mutual acquaintances, amongst others, Magdalene Thoresen, feeling very uncomfortable in the presence of the lady, I blurted out most tactlessly that I was sure that lady was much interested in me. It was a mere nothing, but at the moment sounded like conceit and boasting.
He stayed, but he made his mother pay dearly for his sacrifice by his sadness and bad temper. And Louisa tactlessly much more tactlessly than she knew, never failing to do what she ought not to have done Louisa, who knew only too well the reason of his grief, insisted on his telling her what it was.
"I hear that you intend to ride the outlaw Yuma. Is it so?" Collie nodded. "I had rather you didn't," said Louise. "Why?" asked Collie, tactlessly. Louise did not answer, and Collie strode off feeling angry with himself and more than ever determined to risk breaking his neck to win the outlaw. Boyar, the Moonstone pony, ran second in the finals. The buckskin of the Mexicans won first place.
He put the fairy tress back into his breast pocket, made a casual gesture to imply that he had concluded his wishes for the present; and walked off in the midst of the deepest silence that had ever fallen upon an Appleboro audience. But however willing we might be, we discovered that we could not do things as quickly or as well as might be wished. People who wanted to help blundered tactlessly.
All that happened now was exhibition sparring bouts between members of the club. It is true that next day the papers very tactlessly reported the friendly exhibition spar as if it had been quite a serious affair, but that was not the fault of Swifty Bob. Kid Brady, the chosen of Peaceful Moments, was billed for a "ten-round exhibition contest," to be the main event of the evening's entertainment.
Rossmore went to Long Island to see what could be had, and she found at the little village of Massapequa just what they were looking for a commodious, neatly-furnished two-story cottage at a modest rental. Of course, it was nothing like what they had been accustomed to, but it was clean and comfortable, and as Mrs. Rossmore said, rather tactlessly, beggars cannot be choosers.
It was not like Helen to inflict the wrong kind on her; but it had all been Mrs Bradley's doing. She had been tactlessly insistent in her demand to see the beautiful old garden and the famous artist-Baronet, who had so boldly flouted tradition. Helen's lame excuses had been airily dismissed, and the discourtesy of a point-blank refusal was beyond her.
"Thank you," chilled Jean, and permitted Pard to back away from his approach. "Say, you're some rider," he praised tactlessly, and got no reply whatever. Jean merely turned and rode around to where Lite eased his long legs in the stirrups and waited her pleasure. "Shall we help them out, Lite?" she asked distinctly. "I think perhaps we ought to; it's a long walk to town."
