"But men can lie too," said Nina. "Your cousin Ziska is a fool." "He is a fox," said Nina. "He is a fool in comparison with his mother. And I had him in my own house, under my thumb, as it were. Of course he lied. Of course he tried to deceive me. But, Nina, he believes that the document is here in your house. Whether it be there or not, Ziska thinks that it is there."
"I'm glad to know who he is; some day we may have a settlement. Well, all I know about the affair is this, but that's enough you rode with him all one night, hid him all the next day, and then helped him escape. You lied to me repeatedly, and now you want to break away from me at the last minute. It's either this Galesworth or somebody else now who is it?"
I snapped, keeping my face upturned, my eyes fixed on his, and my teeth firmly set, that he might see that he had lied. "No, of course you're not. But come, now, Ray, what's the matter? Out with it! There's nobody but me to hear you. And I understand." I didn't want him to speak kindly to me, for I hated him. So I said in a rapid, trembling voice: "I've got a thousand lines from Mr. Fillet.
I am rejoiced to read Beric's words, and to see that he has, as I felt sure he had, a grateful heart. He would save us from the fate that he clearly thinks is about to overwhelm this place. The omens have not lied then not that I believe in them; they are for the most part the offspring of men's fancy, but at any rate they will come true this time.

Dr. Johnson, in his blunt way, says: "I do not believe Burnet intentionally lied; but he was so much prejudiced that he took no pains to find out the truth."
"Lied, Sir King!" returned the unfortunate knight, with fierce emphasis, and one glance of fire from his eye, bright and transient as the flash from the cold and stony flint. "But this also must be endured. I have spoken the truth." "By God and by Saint George!" said the King, bursting into fury, which, however, he instantly checked. "De Vaux, go view the spot. This fever has disturbed his brain.
Oh! for the power to shout them out to the ends of the earth! But she looked levelly at Dardis and in a clear voice answered: "Nothing." Then, at his word, she stumbled down out of the stand. Again Jeffrey Whiting fell back into his seat. Ruth had lied! The walls of his inner citadel had fallen in and crushed him.

I had an insupportable fear that it might have resulted in some way from being over-pressed in the matter of work, over-stimulated. I asked the doctor. If he lied to me, and I do not think he did, he lied like a man, or an angel.
"But," stammered Bud, his brain whirling, "if that's so, you lied about the Apaches killing him you why you must have been the renegade, the devil who tortured prospectors."
In our hideous peril 'twas scarcely to be endured that one should go. I told myself that if I reached the Border I could get help, but my heart warned me that I lied.
