<p id="id11087">Join us, please, when you have time</p>
<p id="id11088">Just trust to the inspiration of the moment</p>
<p id="id11089">Justify it if you can</p>
<h4 id="id11090" style="margin-top: 2em">L</h4>
<p id="id11091">Let me persuade you</p>
<p id="id11092">Let me say how deeply indebted I feel for your kindness</p>
<p id="id11093">Let me speak frankly</p>
<p id="id11094">Let us grant that for the sake of the argument</p>
<p id="id11095">Let us take a concrete instance</p>
<h4 id="id11096" style="margin-top: 2em">M</h4>
<p id="id11097">Many thanks—how kind and good you are!</p>
<p id="id11098">May I ask to whom you allude?</p>
<p id="id11099">May I be privileged to hear it?</p>
<p id="id11100">May I speak freely?</p>
<p id="id11101">May I venture to ask what inference you would draw from that?</p>
<p id="id11102">Might I suggest an alternative?</p>
<p id="id11103">Most dangerous!</p>
<p id="id11104">My attitude would be one of disapproval</p>
<p id="id11105">My confidence in you is absolute</p>
<p id="id11106">My idea of it is quite the reverse</p>
<p id="id11107">My information is rather scanty</p>
<p id="id11108">My meaning is quite the contrary</p>
<p id="id11109">My point of view is different, but I shall not insist upon it</p>
<p id="id11110">My views are altered in many respects</p>
<h4 id="id11111" style="margin-top: 2em">N</h4>
<p id="id11112">No, I am speaking seriously</p>
<p id="id11113">No, I don't understand it</p>
<p id="id11114">Not at all</p>
<p id="id11115">Not to my knowledge</p>
<p id="id11116">Nothing could be more delightful</p>
<p id="id11117">Now is it very plain to you?</p>
<p id="id11118">Now you are flippant</p>
<h4 id="id11119" style="margin-top: 2em">O</h4>
<p id="id11120">Obviously the matter is settled</p>
<p id="id11121">Of course, but that again isn't the point</p>
<p id="id11122">Of course I am delighted</p>
<p id="id11123">Of course I don't want to press you against your will</p>
<p id="id11124">Of course you will do what you think best</p>
<p id="id11125">Oh, certainly, if you wish it</p>
<p id="id11126">Oh, do not form an erroneous impression</p>
<p id="id11127">Oh, I appreciate that in you!</p>
<p id="id11128">Oh, that's mere quibbling</p>
<p id="id11129">Oh, that's splendid of you!</p>
<p id="id11130">Oh, that was a manner of speaking</p>
<p id="id11131">Oh, yes, I quite admit that</p>
<p id="id11132">Oh, yes, you may take that for granted</p>
<p id="id11133">Oh, you are very bitter</p>
<p id="id11134">Oh, you may be as scornful as you like</p>
<p id="id11135">On the contrary, I agree with you thoroughly</p>
<p id="id11136">On the face of it, it sounds reasonable</p>
<p id="id11137">One assumption you make I should like to contest</p>
<p id="id11138">One has no choice to endure it</p>
<p id="id11139">One must be indulgent under the circumstances</p>
<p id="id11140">One thing I beg of you</p>
<h4 id="id11141" style="margin-top: 2em">P</h4>
<p id="id11142">Pardon me, but I don't think so</p>
<p id="id11143">Pardon me, I meant something different</p>
<p id="id11144">Perhaps I am indiscreet</p>
<p id="id11145">Perhaps not in the strictest sense</p>
<p id="id11146">Perhaps you do not feel at liberty to do so</p>
<p id="id11147">Perhaps you think me ungrateful</p>
<p id="id11148">Personally I confess to an objection</p>
<p id="id11149">Please continue to be frank</p>
<p id="id11150">Please do not think I am asking out of mere curiosity</p>
<p id="id11151">Please forgive my thoughtlessness</p>
<p id="id11152">Please make yourself at home</p>
<p id="id11153">Pray don't apologize</p>
<p id="id11154">Pray forgive me for intruding on you so unceremoniously</p>
<p id="id11155">Pray go on!</p>
<p id="id11156">Precisely, that is just what I meant</p>
<p id="id11157">Put in that way it certainly sounds very well</p>
<h4 id="id11158" style="margin-top: 2em">Q</h4>
<p id="id11159">Question me, if you wish</p>
<p id="id11160">Quibbling, I call it</p>
<p id="id11161">Quite so</p>
<p id="id11162">Quite the wisest thing you can do</p>
<h4 id="id11163" style="margin-top: 2em">R</h4>
<p id="id11164">Rather loquacious, I think [loquacious = very talkative]</p>
<p id="id11165">Reading between the lines</p>
<p id="id11166">Really? I should have thought otherwise</p>
<p id="id11167">Really—you must go?</p>
<p id="id11168">Reassure me, if you can</p>
<p id="id11169">Reflect upon the possible consequences</p>
<p id="id11170">Relatively speaking</p>
<p id="id11171">Reluctantly I admit it</p>
<p id="id11172">Reverting to another matter</p>
<h4 id="id11173" style="margin-top: 2em">S</h4>
<p id="id11174">Shall we have a compact?</p>
<p id="id11175">She has an extraordinary gift of conversation</p>
<p id="id11176">She is easily prejudiced</p>
<p id="id11177">She seems uncommonly appreciative</p>
<p id="id11178">She will be immensely surprised</p>
<p id="id11179">Show me that the two cases are analogous</p>
<p id="id11180">So far so good</p>
<p id="id11181">So I inferred</p>
<p id="id11182">So much the better for me</p>
<p id="id11183">So you observe the transformation?</p>
<p id="id11184">Something amuses you</p>
<p id="id11185">Sometimes the absurdity of it occurs to me</p>
<p id="id11186">Speaking with all due respect</p>
<p id="id11187">Still, you might make an exception</p>
<p id="id11188">Strangely it's true</p>
<p id="id11189">Such conduct seems to me unjustifiable</p>
<p id="id11190">Surely there can be no question about that</p>
<p id="id11191">Surely we can speak frankly</p>
<p id="id11192">Surely you sound too harsh a note</p>
<p id="id11193">Surely you would not countenance that</p>
<h4 id="id11194" style="margin-top: 2em">T</h4>
