The very blacks had observed the state of things which had deluded my poor sister; and the slave had penetrated his master's secret. I turned away abruptly from the negro, lest he should also detect the evidence of the weakness extorted by his speech, from the eyes of manhood. "Like the lily That once was mistress of the field, and flourished, I'll hang my head, and perish." Queen Catherine.

All our fiction reflects this that is why I never cared to read English or American novels. The Continental school, the Russians, the Frenchmen, refuse to be deluded. They are honest."

In recounting the hopes that had deluded him, the fears that had gnawed, and the despair in which they were at last merged, he did not notice, for a time, her look as she still knelt motionless before the embers on the hearth.

As it was by a strange anomaly at the very moment when she became aware of having been deluded and misled, in intention if not by actually spoken words when she had most reason to hate or despise the "enemy who had done her this dishonor" she felt his hold upon her heart strengthened, as though he had justified his right to command it.

"Then, if for no other reason than to save these deluded French and British soldiers, the matter must be brought to the attention of General Petain, that he may act promptly and not only save them, but the whole army of France; and the cause of the Allies." "Good!" Hal agreed. "Then we shall see that it's brought to his attention." "The first thing in the morning," said Chester.
