A little confused, and more than a little disappointed over the apparent failure of her news to surprise from Chadron a betrayal of his guilty connection with Mark Thorn, she related the adventure of the morning, the finding of the cap, the meeting with Macdonald and his neighbors. She reserved nothing but what Lassiter had told her of Thorn's employers and his bloody work in that valley.
Birtwell saw the light go out of her minister's face and a look of pain sweep over it. "An awful thing indeed," he returned, in a voice that betrayed the agitation from which he was still suffering. "I want to talk with you about a matter that distresses me deeply," said Mrs. Birtwell, wondering as she spoke at Mr. Elliott's singular betrayal of feeling.
He was too loyal to turn his back on those among whom he had been happy. He knew they would feel it as a betrayal; the adoration with which the inmates of the "Ark" regarded the three orphan children was also bestowed upon him; he was the foundling, the fourth member of the "Family," and now they were proud of him too! It was not the way of the inmates of the "Ark" to make plans for the future.
Elise shuddered, and cast a wandering, despairing look around. "Will you listen to me?" repeated the countess. "Speak I am listening," whispered Elise, languidly. And then, the Countess Lodoiska von Sandomir, often interrupted by Elise's plaintive sighs, her outbursts of heartfelt sympathy, related to the young girl the sad and painful story of her love and her betrayal.
'That's the best thing that could happen. 'You don't mean that you mean to let it out? 'If you expect me to tell lies for you, you are out there. 'But, Lance, Lance, in an agony, 'you wouldn't be such a sneak, when I trusted you? Lance laughed. The bare idea of betrayal seemed so absurd, that he scarcely thought it worth removing.
A few hours later Kunz was in bed and well tended in the house of Akusch's mother, and it was on their return to Cairo, to speak with my eldest brother of these matters, that Eppelein was witness to Ursula's vile betrayal and the vast demand of the Sultan.
Sir Walter Raleigh, when at length he found himself betrayed to death and how basely betrayed! by Sir Lewis Stukely, only said, "Sir Lewis, these actions will not turn to your credit." The New Testament tells us of a betrayal yet more quietly received. These are instances of noble manners.
Prepared and on her guard as our pursuit had actually made her, she would repress every betrayal; and I was therefore shaken, on the spot, by my first glimpse of the particular one for which I had not allowed.
This shift may have come regardless of the German "betrayal". The Pentagon has long been contemplating the futility of stationing tens of thousands of soldiers in the world's most peaceful and pacifistic country. The letter is a slap in the face of Germany, a member of the "Axis of Peace", together with France and Belgium and the champion of EU enlargement to the east.
Sophy's white cheeks were now aflame; bright tears stood in her eyes; she was passing through a painful crisis. To assent would amount to a betrayal. Should she put him off with a lie? There seemed to be an interminable pause before she spoke. "Why do you say this to me?" she asked in a low voice.
