She hid her face from their searching; ashamed, horrified at her own doubts yet still doubting. "Your friendship has stood a heavier strain than this," Carlyon said, with grave reproach. But she could not answer him. She dared scarcely face her own thoughts privately, much less utter them to him.
Some while ago our bull-headed Simone, being with Vittoria at supper at her house, and as drunk as is his custom at the tail of the day, dozed on a sofa while the company began to talk of fair women." I was horrified at the ill-manners of the hog, though it all seemed of a piece with his habitual hoggishness. "One should never be too drunk," I averred, "to talk on that illuminating theme."
It is quite affecting to meet you again. How do you do?" Miss Tredgold advanced to meet her brother-in-law. Mr. Dale put both his hands behind his back. "Are you sorry to see me?" asked Miss Tredgold. "Oh, dear, this is terrible!" The next instant the horrified man found that Miss Tredgold had kissed him calmly and with vigor on each cheek.

I know the nuns would be horrified, but I shall bind myself to no man." The last colors of the sunset faded slowly on the sea, and the world was a soft gray filled with the radiance of the rising moon.
Holbrook. I never saw any one seem so shocked and horrified as he did when we told him how his wife had been missing for more than four-and-twenty hours.
