"I may be blamed for bringing him among you, but trust me if things are really as bad as they seem. I'll get him off again. I'll not let myself be bowled by such a silly lob as that. Trust me to devote profound thought to this problem." "We all have every confidence in you," he assured me, "but don't be too severe all at once with the chap. He might recover a sane balance even yet."
She blamed Sally for behaving tyrannically to a man who loves her. Dear creature! to stand against a glass, and to shut her eyes because she will not see her face in it! Mrs. Sinclair has paid her court to so unerring a judge, by requesting her advice with regard to both nieces. This the way we have been in for several days with the people below.
I do not in the least believe that any of the votes for which universal suffrage is blamed the re-establishment of the Empire, for instance would have fallen out differently had the voters been exclusively recruited among learned and liberally educated men.
Seeing the boy seems to have roused him to old feelings of home.... He writes oddly, but in a strain that is not wholly base." "I can't make out why he wants to write to you at all, Padre; he always hated you, blamed you so ... for the marriage and all that." "There is not much accounting for the vagaries of a man like that.

I wouldn't mind gittin' punished myself, but I don't want him blamed. He'd be a lot better off with you, Mr. Allan; an' mebbe ef you'd feed him up, an' give him a chanct, he'd be a racer some day.

The neighbors held up their hands in dismay, and prophesied, "He will end his days in the Bastile." His mother wept and blamed herself and the National as the cause of all the trouble.
