Who gave you permission to treat this gentleman so harshly? I am still mistress here." "They are Russian spies, Highness." "Fiddlesticks," she replied with the feminine faith in the man who had given her such tender care. "Anyhow," she temporized, "our Privy Council, not you, shall be their judges."
In consequence, the French king temporized, dreading either to resist or to submit to the ascendency of Russia, and dissatisfied with the course his negotiators had taken at the Congress, especially his minister of foreign affairs, on whom the responsibility lay.
"Well," said Clementina, "he isn't in China. His health gave out, and he had to come home. He's in Middlemount Centa." Miss Milray suppressed the "Oh!" that all but broke from her lips. "Preaching to the heathen, there?" she temporized. "To the summa folks," Clementina explained, innocent of satire. "They have got a Union Chapel the'a, now, and Mr. Gregory has been preaching all summa."
Tuppence gave one last despairing moan. "You swear it won't hurt me?" she temporized. "Of course it won't hurt you. Don't be a fool." "Will you swear it?" "Yes, yes," said the other impatiently. "I swear it." Tuppence raised a trembling left hand to the glass. "Very well." Her mouth opened meekly. Mrs. Vandemeyer gave a sigh of relief, off her guard for the moment.
Ben Minories came from London and knelt at her feet; Ben Jochanan arrived from Paris, and thought to dazzle her with the latest waistcoats from the Palais Royal; and Ben Jonah brought her a present of Dutch herrings, and besought her to come back and be Mrs. Ben Jonah at the Hague. Rebecca temporized as best she might. She thought her uncle was too old.
He hated to say no; in fact, he said it so seldom that he scarcely knew how. So he temporized. "Well, Serena," he began, "I I'd like to have you; you know that. If 'twasn't for the cost I wouldn't hesitate a minute." "But we have that three thousand dollars." "Well, we ain't got all of it. Or we shan't have it long.
"I want you to do whatever will make you happier," he temporized. "If you really needed me there I would come. But you are always so absorbed when you're working, and I am so busy with Baby, that I don't believe we should have much more time together than now." "Neither do I," he agreed, in a tone suspiciously like relief, which she was quick to catch.
The doctor temporized. Mr. Ponsonby had rallied wonderfully; his constitution was much stronger than he had been given to understand; it was rather soon to give a definite opinion, but Here Stephen interrupted him. "Great God, man! Can't you answer a plain question. Yes or no?" The doctor drew himself up and, to quote his own language, "let him have it straight."
He fairly bristled with suspicion. I could see it even in the set of his clothes. If I'd told him that as soon as our fleet was gone you and I were going to take possession of the island in the name of the king of Ireland, he'd have believed it. But I temporized, having no yarn ready, and luck came down in a tornado.
I expect when you're back you'll be giving all sorts of delightful parties, won't you? At least that's what the girls at school were saying." "It's rather early to make plans," temporized Ingred. "Oh, of course! But Jess and Francie said you'd a gorgeous floor for dancing. I do think a fancy-dress dance is about the best fun on earth.
