It's the opinion of the haill country that the sale has been shamefully forced on at this time, when there's sae little money stirring in Scotland wi' this weary American war, that somebody may get the land a bargain. Deil be in them, that I should say sae! the good lady's wrath rising at the supposed injustice. 'And where will the sale take place?
At least, he thought any court would consider it an extenuating circumstance, and he promised to be present at my trial and aid me all he could. I lay in Newark jail nine months, awaiting my trial. During that time I had almost daily quarrels with the jailor, who abused me shamefully, and told me I ought to go to State prison and stay there for life.
It was all very well to ease his own mind by complaining, but when he heard of Ida announcing that he had been shamefully treated, all out of spite for killing a white rook, his sense of justice made him declare that the notion was nothing but girl's folly, such as no person with a grain of sense could believe.
They were so numerous everywhere, either in little forts occupied by them or in the villages and country-places, that peasants and tradesfolks could not travel but at great expense and great peril.

Michael read and read again every line and word, and he stood thunderstruck at the disclosure. He raved against his father, swore he would do nothing for the man who had so shamefully involved himself; and, not content with his own ruin, had so wickedly implicated him.
I now found, my lord, that you and I had both been most shamefully deceived deceived for the purpose, I do believe, of revenging on you and Lady Laura her former rejection of Lord Sherbrooke by driving her to marry a person altogether inferior to herself in station. You will see that he had placed me in the most difficult of all positions.
Of a surety she had drawn her weapon on the wrong side in the mining trouble. Over-hasty? yes. And shamefully disloyal. Perhaps there was something in it, after all; that is to say, it might be they had made a mistake.
When my mind was at ease they were my delight; but now I feel that I am rather interrupted than interested by their childish gaiety and amusements. I am afraid that I am growing selfish, and I am sure that I have become shamefully indolent. I go on with certain occupations every day from habit, not from choice; my mind is not in them.
