"Not your entire life, Mr. Rimmon. You are like some other men. You confound me with some one else; for I am sure I heard you saying the same thing five minutes ago to Louise Wentworth." "Impossible. Then I must have confounded her with you," sighed Mr. Rimmon, with such a look at Mrs. Lancaster out of his languishing eyes that she gave him a laughing tap with her fan.
It was a fevered vision of things past and present all confounded together; of his life and journey blended into one. Of being madly hurried somewhere, whither he must go. Of old scenes starting up among the novelties through which he travelled.
Oh, it's a humiliating thing, sir, poverty to a man of my habits; and it's made me shed tears, sir tears; and that d d valet of mine curse him, I wish he was hanged! has had the confounded impudence to threaten to tell my lady: as if the things in my own house weren't my own, to sell or to keep, or to fling out of window if I chose by gad! the confounded scoundrel."
It is, however, more probable that this narrative rests on one of the numerous cases found in old writings in general, and above all in the history of Faustus, in which the names Wittenberg and Würtemberg are confounded. Our hero's abode at the former place was very probably merely that of a traveller; he left there, as we shall soon see, a very unenviable reputation.
Poole's second edition, and if it be in your power, I could wish you to read the 'dedication to my brother, at the beginning, to Lady E. Perceval, to obtain whose esteem, so far at least as not to be confounded with the herd of vulgar mob flatterers, I am not ashamed to confess myself solicitous.

I trust we shall not be absent long. He raised his cap, offered his arm; and Julia, amazed and frightened, descended from her throne, and conducted him to the cottage. 'Pardon, mademoiselle, said he, when they stood inside; 'I am instructed to search this house. Julia, puzzled, confounded, bowed assent.
"Yes, yes," returned the old tar, who wore the air of an offended man, and who, probably, had he been ignorant of any part of his art, was not just then in the temper to confess it; "many is the proud ship that I have seen doing the very same; and, as the lady says, a grand and comely sight it is!" Wilder appeared confounded.
In the present torrid state of the weather, can the Oriental craftsmanship lately introduced here be properly termed Coolie labor? The OATES troupe now performing at the Olympic Theatre must not be confounded with the Horse Opera.
In Palestine, however, we find the idea that the Lord Himself spoke with Moses, who delivered His commands to Israel, and the tables of the commandments were even written by God’s own fingers on both sides. But this must not be confounded with written literature.
You could come every day and see us. I would be very grateful to you, and would love you very much!" "But but but !" exclaimed Cayrol, much confounded, "you cannot mean what you say, Jeanne! What, my dear? You wish me to return alone to Paris to-night? What would my servants say? You would expose me to ridicule!" Poor Cayrol made a piteous face. Jeanne looked at him as she had never looked before.
