The Major agreed with her, and with a strong-effort regained his composure. "I was just going to turn back," he said, untruthfully; "may I walk with you?" "I am not going far," was the reply. With soldierly courage the Major took this as permission; with feminine precision Mrs. Riddel walked about fifty yards and then stopped.
"You don't show me the way," untruthfully answered the guest, as Benham complacently buttoned up his coat, little imagining that his neighbour was weighing a question, very momentous to him, in the light of fresh information. Five hundred pounds! The duty of removing Benham began to look rather imperative again, but from a different point of view.
I am yours; and, dearest, if I love you, need you care what anybody else thinks? We will soon change their opinion. 'I care so little, said Evan, somewhat untruthfully, 'that till you return I shall go and sit with my mother. 'Oh, she has gone. She made her dear old antiquated curtsey to Mama and the company.
How thoughtful of Dave to send it to me!" Then her eyes fell on two figures around which a ring had been drawn in ink. They were Dave Darrin and a pretty girl. On the margin of the card had been scrawled in bold letters: "Your affair of the heart will bear close watching if you still cherish!" This was signed, contemptibly and untruthfully, "A Friend."
When Min came to know of this practice of mine, she did not like it. She wrote to me to say that it was acting untruthfully to pretend to correspond from a place when I was not actually there. The habit was certainly reprehensible, I admit, as I admitted to her; but, then, what can a writer do if blessed with a vivid imagination?
She gayly returned my eager look, and then, seeming suddenly to penetrate its meaning, cast down her eyes, while the color mounted into her cheeks. "You thought," she said, almost sternly, "that I did not love my child." "No," I said half untruthfully. "I can hardly wonder," she continued, more sadly, "for it is only what I have said to myself a thousand times.
The inscriptions on the pedestal record the destruction and restoration of the city; and down to the year 1831 there was also an inscription untruthfully attributing the fire to "the treachery and malice of the popish faction;" this has been effaced, and to it Pope's couplet alluded: "Where London's column, pointing to the skies, Like a tall bully lifts its head and lies."
All day long he had been in a state of resentful irritation, he had loathed himself for having consented to marry this girl without loving her, he had branded himself inwardly as a liar and hypocrite when he had sworn his marriage vows 'before God, whereas if he truly believed in God, such vows taken untruthfully were mere blasphemy; and now she herself, a young thing tenderly brought up like a tropical flower in the enervating hot-house atmosphere of Court life, yet had such a pure, deep consciousness of God in her, that she actually could not pray with the slightest blur of a secret on her soul!
However...he was the first man she had ever met in her limited experience who seemed to combine the three magnetisms....Who could tell.... "I should be delighted if you would cut my brother out before it goes any further," she said untruthfully. "It will save him a heartache....Where could you meet her now? Society is disrupted here. But of course Mr. Gwynne visits down the peninsula.
Beale a quite respectable working man, and Mr. Beale accounted for their lack of furniture by saying, quite truthfully, that he and his nipper had come up from Gravesend, doing a bit of work on the way. "I could," he added, quite untruthfully, "give you the gentleman I worked with for me reference Talbott, 'is name is a bald man with a squint and red ears but p'raps this'll do as well."
