"I do not command here; but I knew you when they brought you in insensible, and being employed in the castle, I have taken upon myself the office of your gaoler, that I might, if possible, serve you." I felt, I knew this to be false, but a moment's reflection told me that it was better at present to temporise. "Who then does the castle belong to, Melchior?" "To Sir Henry de Clare."
However, it is better to temporise than to risk all and lose all. Better let him remain, Pendle. 'Very well, Graham, I shall take your advice. 'Good! Graham rose to depart. 'And Gabriel? he asked, with his hand on the door. 'Send him to me, doctor. I must speak to him. 'You won't scold him for seeing me first, I hope. 'Scold him, said the bishop, with a melancholy smile.
He had really at this to make out a little what he thought, and the first thing that put itself in evidence was of course the oddity, after all, of their game, to which he could but frankly allude. "We're doing, at the best, in trying to temporise in so special a way, a thing most people would call us fools for."
In accordance with this crafty system, the agent expressed the opinion that it would "be good and requisite for the English government somewhat to temporise," and to dally for a season longer, in order to see what measures the States would take to defend themselves, and how much ability and resources they would show for belligerent purposes.

This philosophic prince was destined to bear away with him all desire of reconciliation and every hope of peace, for he alone restrained Germany. M. de Narbonne, thwarted by public demonstrations the secret negotiations of his colleague M. de Lessart, who strove to temporise, and to refer all the differences of France and Europe to a congress.
But all I could say, all the earnest representations to be deduced from this critical crisis, could not prevail with her, even so far as to persuade her to temporise with Dumourier, as she had done with many others on similar occasions. She was deaf and inexorable. She treated all he had said as the effusion of an overheated imagination, and told him she had no faith in traitors.
I tremble for the consequences of the impression their disloyal manoeuvres have made upon the minds of the people, and I have no faith whatever in their proffered services to the King. However, on reflection, it may be expedient to temporise. Continue to see him. Learn, if possible, how far he may be trusted; but do not fix any time, as yet, for the desired audience.
The messenger stood there, a figure ridiculously inadequate for the intensity of all that was involved in the issue of the hour a weazened, stunted boy, in a uniform many sizes too large.
