But, monsieur, if Mayenne has broken his word already, if they are arresting you on this trumped-up charge, you must get out of the gates to-night." "Impossible," he answered, smiling; "I have an engagement in Paris." "But monsieur may not keep it. He must go to St. Denis." "I must go nowhere but to the Hôtel Lorraine." "Monsieur!"
"I suppose so. Such witnesses are always a great way off when they are wanted," added my brother, with an ill-concealed sneer. "I see that you think I am guilty, Clarence," I replied, wounded beyond measure at his severe conclusions. "I confess that the affair looks to me like a trumped-up story."
And if you think that Hattie's six rooms and bath and sunny, full-sized kitchen, on Morningside Heights, were trumped-up ones of the press agent for the Sunday Supplement, look in. Any afternoon. Tuesday, say, and Marcia just home from school. On Tuesday afternoon of every other week Hattie made her cream, in a large copper pot that hung under the sink.
"To come here and prate to me of my dead father's dissoluteness and of an ancient quarrel between him and yours, to bleat of my trumped-up course of piracy and my own ways of life as a just cause why I may not wed your sister whilst the real consideration in your mind, the real spur to your hostility is not more than the matter of some few paltry pounds a year that I hinder you from pocketing.
The malice of my foes has quite sequestered my resources. I lie, as you know, sir, on a trumped-up charge, of which I am as innocent as yourself. They dare not bring me to my trial, and in the meanwhile I am held naked in my prison. I could have wished it was your cousin I had met, or his brother Baith himself.
"You do not suppose the magistrates will commit me on such a trumped-up nonsensical charge as this?" said the stout old captain indignantly. "Indeed I do," was the reply. "Why, there is not a particle of truth in it. I never saw these girls. I never even heard of their being in existence." "Oh, that makes no difference." "The devil it doesn't!" said the old man, hotly.
"Do you think it was quite straight, Kirby, to go to Miss Harriman with such a trumped-up charge? I don't. I confess I'm surprised at you." In voice and expression James showed his disappointment. "It isn't a trumped-up charge. I wanted to know the truth from her." "Why didn't you go to Jack, then?" "I didn't know at that time Jack was the man with her." "You don't know it now.
No trumped-up interest in one particular puppet will take the place of the drama itself. This is a pity. It is easier to create a marionette than it is to construct a play. The three highly advertised "personalities" that reached us at crocus time were owned and engineered by Miss Amelia Bingham, Miss Mary Mannering and Miss Virginia Harned.
It will scarcely be known to any one in the West that when signatures were being gathered for the great mass-address of protest dispatched to St. Petersburg in 1899, those who refused their signatures numbered martyrs among them. There are some who for their courage in refusing their signatures suffered ruin and disgrace and were imprisoned on trumped-up charges.
"That doesn't matter, but as for my arrest " "A trick, on some trumped-up charge. If he can hold you long enough to get some of your cash, that's all he wants. He knows he's got no jurisdiction over you not a day's hold. He knows you'd give a good deal to save your men." "Poor devils! But to be beaten by this Egyptian bulldozer not if I know it, Dicky" "Still, it may be expensive." "Ah!"
