Then he asked me whether it was a suspension bridge or a cantilever. Of course I didn't know; I am not an engineer." "You are so tactlessly, needlessly candid," I expostulated. "Why didn't you say boldly that the Brooklyn Bridge is a wooden cantilever, with gutta-percha braces? He didn't know, or he wouldn't have asked you.
"There's a great deal in it, particular when you're young. There's a great deal in it." When the engagement of the Marquis of Walderhurst had been announced, to the consternation of many, Lady Maria had been in her element. She was really fine at times in her attitude towards the indiscreetly or tactlessly inquiring. Her management of Lady Malfry in particular had been a delightful thing.
"Well, we're not, at any rate." "What a disappointment for you!" began Beatrice Jackson tactlessly, as several other girls who were standing near turned and joined the group. "You always said you were just longing for Rotherwood." "Do the Red Cross want it again?" queried Jess Howard. "No, they don't; but we're not going to live there. Where are we going to live?
"How did the Wishbone make it?" he inquired. "I was just going to ask you if you knew," Kent replied, scowling because he saw Fred looking at Val in what he considered an impertinent manner. "My horse ran off while I was fighting fire here, so I'm afoot. I was waiting for Man to show up." "You'll git all of that you want he-he!" Polycarp cut in tactlessly. "Man won't git home t'-night not unless "
He spoke of the Russian working class as the great element that was destined to work out the political and economic salvation of the country, and at this he tactlessly dwelt on the Russian trade-unions, on what he termed their revolutionary strikes, and upon the aid Russian capitalists gave the Government in its crusade upon the struggle for liberty I felt quite awkward.
And even supposing that this girl was no more than a fiend in seraphic shape, what conceivable reason could she have for such infamous suppression? Motive was unimaginable.... No, the fault must be his own. He had pressed too hard, pried too tactlessly and inquisitively, not made her understand sufficiently the dire swiftness of the poor boy's need.... These two stood face to face.
And tactlessly she added, thinking with flattery to mollify Samoval and cool his obvious heat: "You are yourself such a famous swordsman, Count." And then Tremayne's dislike of the man betrayed him into his deplorable phrase. "At the present time Portugal is in urgent need of her famous swordsmen to go against the French and not to increase the disorders at home."
Columbine tactlessly joined them as they were setting out, though in this respect matters were improved a little when Harlequin came running after them, and attached himself to Columbine. Andre-Louis, stepping out ahead with Climene, spoke of the thing that was uppermost in his mind at the moment. "Your father is behaving very oddly towards me," said he.
Yet I always thought she might have taken him, in that flaming October, if he hadn't so flagrantly, tactlessly liked the place. He drank the autumn like wine; he was tipsy with it; and his loving her didn't tend to sober him.
"Of course I know it's all right," he blundered ahead tactlessly the gleam in her eye should have warned him that he might have omitted that reassurance "but just the looks of the thing. And he's such a weak and wishy-washy little nonentity!" Her sense of justice aroused by this, she sprang to the defence of Sansome. "You are quite mistaken there," she said with dignity.
