Her hair was turning gray, certainly; her face was seamed with lines which only care and poverty could have graven there; and yet, beneath it all, I fancied I could detect a faded but living likeness to Hiram Holladay's daughter. I looked again it was faint, uncertain perhaps my nerves were overwrought and were deceiving me. For how could such a likeness possibly exist?
A man in assumed impartiality tells you he will stand away from his own viewpoint and consider a case from yours. Now, if he does honestly hold by his own view and thinks he can put it by and judge from his opponent's, he is deceiving both himself and his opponent. He can do so apparently, but, whatever assumption is made, he is governed subconsciously by his own firm conviction.

"I am no more a sailor than you are, Japhet, and since you left me have never yet seen the salt water, which I talk and sing so much about." "Then thou hast been deceiving, Timothy, which I regret much." "Now I do perceive that you are a Quaker," replied Tim; "but do not blame me until you have heard my story. Thank God, I have found you at last.
Priests! you are rewarded, honoured and paid for deceiving mortals, and you cause those to be punished who undeceive them. The follies of men procure you benefices, offerings, and expiations; while those, who announce the most useful truths, are rewarded only with chains, gibbets and funeral-piles.

Let them think that all his talk of Uncle Job and the flag and his father's patriotism was just bluff let Frenchy think he had been just deceiving him he could stand anything, if only his brother would be like a brother to him now that they were alone together. It was a strange, unreasonable feeling. Once, only once, in the long night, he tried to make his brother understand.
