Coming up town?" "I should like, if I may?" Lutchester said, "to be permitted to pay my respects to your sister." "Why, that's fine!" Van Teyl exclaimed unconvincingly. "We'll take the subway up." They left the office and plunged into the indescribable horrors of their journey.
After a long time Joe said, with very careful casualness, "Come to think of it, I was getting loaded up with astrogation theory when I had to stop and pitch in on the gyros. How's that sick crew member, Sally?" "I wouldn't know," answered Sally unconvincingly. "Have some more coffee?" Joe made his face go completely expressionless. There was nothing else to do.
The despot of France, once again under his own rooftree, threw himself upon his bed surrounded by his choicest pictures and tapestries, and paid the price of his merciless arrogance towards all men and women by folding his wan hands upon his breast and exclaiming, somewhat unconvincingly: "Thus do I give myself to God."
George looked up at her quickly and, secretly, Olivia thought that if he had been attractive when he was courageous he was doubly so with the present adorably abashed look in his eyes. "When alone?" St. George asked unconvincingly. She laughed a little, looking down at him in a reproof that was all approbation, and to be reproved like that is the divinest praise. "How did you know?" protested St.
"No-body home," croaked the solemn one again, having recovered his breath. They wrangled dismally and unconvincingly together, but no one put into speech the fear that rode them hard.

She had scarcely known the meaning of death until this starvation for his sympathy revealed itself to her. The awful difference between mere distance and death had escaped her. Hundreds of men were dying, but death was talked of unconvincingly, superficially. Now, by some strange means, she suddenly saw the years of doing without Freddy stretching out before her.

"Lord keep 's!" whispered the little man, no longer studying to sustain his martial rôle.
"You are not going to get a trip to Honolulu?" asked Moore with a smile as he concluded the cross-examination of Auspos. "No sir," stammered the tool of the prosecution unconvincingly.
"There's lots of chapters before the last. And you've got to read them straight through and no fair skipping!" "Wilhemina-mine!" Ward repeated the newly invented appellation, which seemed to approach satisfactorily close to the line of forbidden endearments. "Oh, for pity's sake! I never knew you to act so." Billy Louise scowled unconvincingly at him from a safe distance.
Why couldn't she wait six weeks?" He was immensely relieved to find the old lady sitting up, with her granddaughter applying vinegar to her forehead. She was discountenancing this remedy, or any remedy, as needless, in an unconvincingly weak voice. She would come round if left to herself. She rallied her forces at sight of the doctor, rather resenting him as superfluous.
