A boy with a telegram emerged indiscreetly from the misty shadows. Drummond seized it, tore it open, and read, "Buy cotton." It was the code: "I am off safely." The double cross had worked. Constance was thinking, as she smiled to herself, of the money, her share, which she had hidden.
These confidences are as indiscreetly repealed as they were made; for new pleasures and new places soon dissolve this ill-cemented connection; and then very ill uses are made of these rash confidences. Bear your part, however, in young companies; nay, excel, if you can, in all the social and convivial joy and festivity that become youth.
Mrs. van Tuiver was asleep in her room, and Miss Lyman and another of the nurses were in the next room. They indiscreetly made some remarks on the subject which we have all been discussing how much a wife should be told about these matters, and suddenly they discovered Mrs. van Tuiver standing in the doorway of the room." My gaze had turned to Douglas van Tuiver. "So she knows!" I cried.
There were very frequently little lotteries for trinkets: the Chevalier de Grammont always tried his fortune, and was sometimes fortunate; and under pretence of the prizes he had won, he bought a thousand things which he indiscreetly gave to the Marchioness, and which she still more indiscreetly accepted: the little Saint Germain very seldom received any thing.
This was the dog that, two years later, I lost along with the locket in the Judge's old garden where I had gone indiscreetly, praying that I might get a peep in the window and see my own girl so wonderful, so beautiful, so good reading by the lamp. You need not think I had not seen her before.
Froude's tour in the British Colonies his intercourse was exclusively with "Anglo-West Indians," whose aversion to the Blacks he has himself, perhaps they would think indiscreetly, placed on record. In no instance do we find that he condescended to visit the abode of any Negro, whether it was the mansion of a gentleman or the hut of a peasant of that race.
When Ajax and I first made his acquaintance he was digging post-holes. The day, a day in September, was uncommonly hot. I said, indiscreetly: "Mr. Spooner, why do you dig post-holes?" With a queer glint in his small, dull grey eyes he replied, curtly: "Why are you boys a-shootin' quail hey? 'Cause ye like to, I reckon. Fer the same reason I like ter dig post-holes. It's jest recreation to me."
"Bring up the barrel, Sammy," said the doctor. "I'm going up to the house. I don't think I'll keep you waiting very long, Miss Jelliffe." He hastened up, scrambling up the rocky path, and entered the house. I followed him, perhaps rather indiscreetly. This queer atmosphere of poverty had affected me, I think, and I suddenly became eager to see whether I could not be of some help.
She sat near him, and could not help saying in a low, earnest tone, "How could you, how could you take such a risk without " She did not finish the sentence, which was plain enough in its meaning, however. On the impulse of the moment, Gregory was about to reply indiscreetly in a way that would have revealed more of his feelings toward her than he knew would be wise at that time.
That they would be answered angrily, indiscreetly, and in a fashion to aggravate prejudices which ought to be appeased on both sides of the questions involved, was much more than probable. All this accordingly I urged upon Father Burke, begging him to find or make time in the midst of his engrossing duties for a systematic course of lectures in reply.
