He peered about him with knit brows. "Cumberledge," he asked at last, in a suspicious voice, "did you hear that woman?" "The woman in 93? Delirious?" "No, no. Nurse Wade?" "Hear her?" I echoed, I must candidly admit with intent to deceive. "When she broke the basin?" His forehead relaxed. "Oh! it is nothing," he muttered, hastily. "A mere point of discipline.

I should imagine that a large number of men never find out how great their ignorance of Oxford is until they have to show people round it, and I candidly confess that on this day I was ashamed of myself.

Imploring my pardon, they candidly confessed that they had been deficient in their care of it, that it had been stolen, and that they had been unable to discover the thief.

Other efforts may be forthcoming. If you are to be protected efficiently the police must have your loyal cooperation. I admit candidly that I myself, with all my experience, was taken off my guard a few minutes ago.
