I crept close. She was a jolly, red- faced girl, good-looking enough, but common to the last degree. Her hat lay on the seat beside her, and her head was resting on his shoulder. She appeared to be fond of him, but he was evidently bored. "'Don'tcher like me, Joe? I heard her murmur. "'Yas, he replied, somewhat unconvincingly, 'o' course I likes yer.
Then something comes out clear and sorrowful, rises out clear and sheer from among all these rather base and inconsequent things, and once again I walk before all the other mourners close behind her coffin as it is carried along the churchyard path to her grave, with the old vicar's slow voice saying regretfully and unconvincingly above me, triumphant solemn things.
We saw how that period had embarrassed the first pioneers who attempted to trace the course of civilisation as a progressive movement, how lightly they passed over it, how unconvincingly they explained it away.
Suppose the expedition gives me nothing, yet surely there will be 2 or 3 days out of the whole journey which I shall remember all my life with ecstasy or bitterness, etc., etc.... So that's how it is, sir. All that is unconvincing, but you know you write just as unconvincingly. For instance, you say that Sahalin is of no use and no interest to anyone. Can that be true?
The result is radiant, fiery even, but unconvincingly archangelic. We see him, "a slight, well-knit figure of medium height in a suit of gray, with a gray felt hat, the brim slightly turned down; beneath one could see the beautiful gray hair slightly curling at the ends; the fine, clear-cut features, the piercing dark eyes, the mouth that could smile or be stern as occasion might demand.
"Well, I supposed the arrest was just a formality." Mr. Edgerton smiled again rather unconvincingly. "Well, you see, you can't always tell what will happen when you once start something," he began. "But I didn't start anything," answered Mr. Hepplewhite. "I had nothing to say about it." At that moment Bibby appeared in the doorway. "Excuse me, sir," he said.
"That's only because she knows she's going," answered Gabriella, but her endeavour to explain her mother's habit of mind appeared to her to be so hopeless that she added unconvincingly: "You can't imagine how dependent she is on me. Jane doesn't know how to manage her at all, though they are so much alike." "Well, of course, if we live at home "
The mercury was close to ninety. "Chilly?" said I. Dickie laughed unconvincingly. "No, just burning some old trash. Want to take a tramp?" I did. Was it chance or the immutable workings of fate which took us in time past the house of the cherry tree? In a porch hammock was Rosie, a vision of budding beauty only half clouded in flimsy lawn and lace.
She pounced at once. "Tommy, you're stony!" "Not a bit of it," declared Tommy unconvincingly. "Rolling in cash." "You always were a shocking liar," said Tuppence severely, "though you did once persuade Sister Greenbank that the doctor had ordered you beer as a tonic, but forgotten to write it on the chart. Do you remember?" Tommy chuckled. "I should think I did!
"Did anybody ask you to waive examination?" The swelling in Hogan's fat neck grew larger. Suppose McGurk or Delany were trying to put something over on him! "No! Certainly not!" he replied unconvincingly. He didn't want to make the wrong answer if he could help it. "You have an associate, have you not? A Mr. Simpkins?" "Yes, Your Honor."
