No, Professor, if you feel that you can not explain what I saw, last night, I shall feel obliged to tell Mr. Gregory as soon as the choir practice ends." "Didn't Fran refuse to tell?" Abbott temporized. "Yes," was the skilful response; "but her reticence must have been to save you, for the girl never seems ashamed of anything she does. I imagine she hated to get you into trouble."
I had burst out that it was heaps, before I stopped to realize that he was asking that question really of Ellaline, not of me. Perhaps I ought to have temporized, and said I would make up my mind in a few days meanwhile writing to her. I suppose she must be quite an heiress; but he can't be as mercenary as she thinks, or he wouldn't have made such a suggestion. I'm called! The motor's ready.
Landover. I do not love you. I am sorry if I have misled you into hoping. There is nothing more to be said." "You have misled me," he cried out bitterly. "I am to blame, I suppose, for not giving you your answer before this. I have temporized. It is a woman's trick, and a horrid one, I'll admit. I have never even thought of marrying you." "Are you in love with Percival?" he demanded.
"I must get him out of here My father did. His lips trembled a little, but he said quite clearly: 'Don't do that. Don't touch my daughter." "Your father was a singularly brave man," he assured her, rebelling against the leaden monotony of speech that had fallen upon them. "Your mother too was brave," he temporized.

Then to "No Creek" Lee he continued, "Kindly record them for me so there will be no question of priority." "I'll be damned if I do!" said the belligerent recorder. "You're worse'n these crooks.
"I mean," I said, "that they must either go over to the English themselves, or succeed in embroiling us with the English." "And they chose?" "They did not choose. They temporized. They see the advantages of a union with the English. A better beaver market, and plenty of brandy. It goes hard with them that we are frugal with our muskets, while the English keep the Iroquois well armed.
Why should I be in clover while they're in choking dust a lot of it composed of desiccated Boches?" "How horrid!" cried Peggy, with a little shiver. "Of course it's horrid. But they've got to stick it, haven't they? And then there's another thing. Out there one hasn't any worries." Peggy pricked up her ears. "Worries? What kind of worries?" Doggie became conscious of indiscretion. He temporized.
"Oh, I quite agree with you, Miss Welse," he temporized easily. "I did not intend it so sweepingly. I meant to brand that sprinkling among them who are poseurs. In the main, as you say, they are honest, and sincere, and natural." "Then we have no quarrel. But Mr. St. Vincent, before you go, would you care to come to-morrow evening? We are getting up theatricals for Christmas.
The latter expected some apology or explanation in relation to the high-handed outrages which had been perpetrated. Had they temporized, or even used conciliatory language on this occasion, it is possible the South might still have preserved the ascendancy it had always held in the councils of the President.

Cranston to make an examination of his wife," pursued Craig, presenting the card which he had obtained from Roger Cranston.
