That's over. You have been acquitted." She temporised. "But you?" "I?" and he shrugged his shoulders. "I take the consequences. I doubt if they would be so very heavy. There would be some sympathy. And afterwards it would be as though you had slipped down from Chitipur to Bombay and joined me as I had planned. We can make the best of our lives together."
He smothered it, shoving it back into a niche of his mind, thinking he had locked it up had turned a key in the door of the closet to hide the skeleton. He temporised, saying; "Well, we'll see, Gulab; perhaps at Mandhatta I could wait while you made an offering and a prayer to Omkar, and then you could journey on to Chunda." To himself he muttered in English: "By God!
The court temporised, promised to remit the tax and to grant an amnesty; but with odious treachery caused the leaders of the movement to be seized, put them in sacks and flung them at dead of night into the Seine. The angry Parisians now barricaded their streets and closed their gates against the king.
But his self-confidence wilted under the false start. "How about arm-chairs?" he remarked tentatively, very much engaged with a cigarette. They removed their coffee-cups, and sipped once or twice in silence. "I'm waiting," said Broome, encouragement in his tone. But Roy still hesitated. "You see " he temporised, "I'm so fearfully keen, I feel shy of gassing about it.
But the colonel must not be told that just yet. I temporised again: "If," I said, unsteadily "if he had slipped in under the gate I should have seen him.

I could have given him the very latest intelligence, but I dared not.
"It's what you might call 'different," he temporised, with a smile. "Just think of that poor little thing havin' her house set afire by a rival suitor just after she had paid off the mortgage by savin' out of her week's wages! Do you suppose he will ever win her?" "I shouldn't think it likely." "No, you wouldn't, but the endin' of those stories is always what you wouldn't expect.

The Government hesitated; and while they temporised, the Emperor by a sudden blow became master of the situation. At the end of April, crossing a river by night, he fell upon the unexpectant army of the League at Muehlberg, crushed it, and secured its chiefs. The League of Schmalkald was irrevocably shattered. No effective counterpoise to his power was apparent within the Empire.
Henri temporised; his true strength, for the time, lay in his Huguenot followers, rugged and faithful fighting men, whose belief was the motive power of their allegiance and of their courage.
