He had justified this falsehood by the most elaborate and logical apology to his companions, the six princes, and had explained that he only lied for the purpose of saving Persia; and when the lot fell to himself to assume the royal authority, he fulfilled most amply every promise he had given of freeing the country from tyranny, religious despotism and, generally, from what he termed "lies."
He fell at my feet, with words of love ... with words of love in his dead mouth ... and the music had ceased ... He kissed the hem of my dress and did not see that I closed my eyes. "What more can I tell you, dear? You now know the tragedy. It went on for a fortnight a fortnight during which I lied to him.

"I am anxious to know how they tangled these three business men up in the game." "Is it true," Ned asked of Mr. Shaw, "that Gostel and Itto first proposed delaying the work on the canal?" "Yes; they first suggested it." "They told you of emerald mines under there?" "Certainly." "But they never took you to see the mines?" "No; we took their word for it." "Well, they lied to you.
