Montgolfier temporised, the king forbade it, or rather only gave his permission on the condition that two condemned criminals should be placed in the balloon! "What!" cried Roziers, in indignation at the king's proposal, "allow two vile criminals to have the first glory of rising into the sky! No, no; that will never do!"
Philip de Commines was one of the company who went at the duke's behest to Calais to urge the governor, Wenlock, to be faithful to King Edward, and to give no shelter to the rebellious earl and his protégé Clarence. Louis feared an outbreak of hostilities at an inconvenient moment. He temporised.
In one word, they were the masters of her and of her household, and so insolently, that M. le Duc and Madame la Duchesse d'Orleans, who knew them and hated them, feared them also and temporised with them.
"Yes," cried Juliet, swallowing the persistent lump in her throat, "and now you've done it, you're ashamed of me!" "I didn't say so," he temporised. "You didn't have to. Don't you suppose I can see?" "Don't get so mad about it. She was laughing at you last night and so was the Doctor. They didn't think it was nice for you to put on your knickers and swing on the trapeze. Ladies don't do that."

"He had better take a dose of this at once, Miss Oman," said I, as I handed her the bottle, "and I will look in later and see how he is." "I expect he will be glad to see you," she answered, "for he is all alone to-night and very dumpy. Miss Bellingham is out.

"And safe," I persisted; "do you think it safe?" "Safe?" she echoed, looking at me in astonishment. "Certainly. What have I to fear?" I had to confess that I myself did not know very clearly what she had to fear, so I temporised.
For to this extent I had temporised: I would wait till I heard from her before attempting to learn the work. If necessary, I could cram it up on Wednesday morning. And with this settlement I was satisfied in a sickly way. While Tuesday is passing in silence and inaction, and the issue of this crisis is in the bag of the postman, let me tell you something of my relations with my mother.
Frank too wakened up from the delightful midsummer dream to the horrible reality of his own pain. He gnashed and tore at the chain which bound him. He was frantic to break it and be free.

"I believe," he answered after a pause, "you would find it worse to bear in a month or so if I hadn't offered." "Why didn't you consult me?" "I wrote to the Bishop " "The 'Bishop!
