Even as he ran his faculties collected themselves, and when he reached the corner of the hut he was almost his own man again. Cumshaw eyed him curiously as he pulled up. "Startled you a bit, didn't I?" he said. "I thought something had happened to you when I heard you call," Bradby answered, a trifle untruthfully.
If you've got to be up against them, why not throw in your lot with me? It's fifty-fifty with us; if you stand out on your own, you'll probably lose it all." "I think you've got me in a cleft stick," Cumshaw said a trifle ruefully. "I can't see that I can refuse. Now how much do you know?" Said Mr. Bryce untruthfully, "I know everything except where you've hidden the gold."
"That's the pantry," he said, untruthfully. The visitor rose and tried the handle. The door was locked, and she looked doubtfully at the mate. "I suppose that's a leg of mutton I can hear asleep in there," she said, with acerbity. "You can suppose what you like," said the mate, testily; "why don't you go away? I'm surprised at you."
"The position appears to be this," I said, after a pause, "either Reuben has spoken most unworthily and untruthfully of you, or Walter has lied deliberately about him." "Yes," she agreed, "that is the position; but which of the two alternatives appears to you the more probable?" "That is very difficult to say," I answered.
Then he shrugged. "I was just thinking how superb you are," he replied, not entirely untruthfully. For his ulterior thought had been reared upon the vital fact of her triumphant beauty. The compliment was too much like hundreds she had received in her life to alarm her. Rather, it pleased; what word of praise had she heard during these latter days?
I want you to remember always that I am your debtor, and if if circumstances should ever seem to indicate that the feeling I have for you is anything but friendly and kind, do me the honour of disbelieving those indications you understand?" "Yes," replied Oscard untruthfully. "Here we are at Lady Cantourne's," continued Sir John, "where, as it happens, I expect to meet Jack.
"H'm, yes; he struck me as being an unusually nice chap," said Mr. Woods, untruthfully. "I dare say they'll be very happy." "Who?" Mrs. Saumarez demanded. "Why er I don't suppose they'll make any secret of it," Billy stammered, in tardy repentance of his hasty speaking. "Peggy told me last night she had accepted him." Mrs. Saumarez turned to rearrange a bowl of roses.
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 are at liberty to go carefully through its contents and discover for yourself any promissory note which I hold from Lady Bartholomew. My dear fellow, you don't imagine I'm a moneylender, do you?" he said in an injured tone. "Nothing was further from my thoughts," said T. X., untruthfully. But the other pressed the key upon him.
'A lady in the case? Mr Nixon called out gaily. 'Yes, I replied with firmness. I went forth, bought a picture postcard showing St Luke's Square, Bursley, most untruthfully picturesque, and posted the card and the letter to my darling Agnes. I hoped that Mr Nixon would have departed ere my return; he had made no reference at all during supper to my mother's affairs. But he had not departed.
