De Soto had wished, in a friendly spirit, to traverse their country, and they were hedging up his way and pursuing him with relentless ferocity. He assumed that it was necessary, for the salvation of his army, to teach them a lesson which they would not soon forget. The carnage within the fortress was dreadful. All was inextricable confusion. It was a hand-to-hand fight.
"Of course you don't expect any answer, knowing that you should not come to one member of a profession for an estimate of another. And, besides, you realize that I know nothing whatever of Dr. Patten, either as a man or as a physician." He laughed softly. "Hedging, pure, unadulterated hedging! I didn't look for that from you. Shall I tell you what we both think of him?
"Max mustn't neglect his duties," she declared. "Either he has a very indulgent chief or he is hedging." Her attitude was so comically severe that Win laughed, and her father looked up with a smile. "I can't be responsible for what Max tells his chief," he remarked, "but I know enough about the diplomatic service to feel sure he is giving satisfaction." Constance still looked stern.
Birdwood is quite confident that with a fresh Division and a decent supply of shell he can get hold of the heights of Sari Bair, whereby he will enfilade the whole network of Turkish trenches, now hedging him round. The only thing he bargains for is that G.H.Q. so work the whole affair from orders down to movements, that the enemy get no inkling of our intentions.
This fertile area was an oasis with steep desolation hedging it in on all sides, but within its narrow confines men could raise not only the corn which constituted the staple of their less fortunate neighbors, but the richer crop of wheat as well. Therefore the men about Perry Center were as sheiks among goat-herds.
But see, here comes Sir Lucius. Well! how fares my brother consul? 'I do not like this rain. I have been hedging with Hounslow, having previously set Bag at his worthy sire with a little information. We shall have a perfect swamp, and then it will be strength against speed; the old story. Damn the St. Leger. I am sick of it. 'Pooh! pooh! think of the little Dacre!
You said I was dishonest. I was, I was! But you could never force me to love you, because . . . because. . . ." With a superb gesture of abandon which swept aside all barriers, all hesitancies, all that hedging convention which compels a woman to be silent, she said: "If you do not immediately tell me that you still love me madly, I shall die of shame!" "Diane!"
Perhaps the most important thing which good conversation is not, is this: It is not talking for effect, or hedging. There are two kinds of hedging in conversation: one which comes from failing to follow the trend of the discussion; another which is the result of talking at random merely to make bulk. The first is tolerable; the last is contemptible.
This haunting incarnation of Lanier guilt and accounting shifts its boding menace but to appear more real at each altered view. Helpless to provide against any of the dreaded contingents hedging them about, Pierre's whole care is absorbed in avoiding Paul's capricious displeasure. He studies his son's crazed peculiarities.
He must also know the names of the principal parts and their functions; how to start, drive, feed, stop, and lubricate any one of them chosen by the candidate. Farmer: A scout must have a practical knowledge of ploughing, cultivating, drilling, hedging and draining.
