Oh, dear, I remember how unhappy that made me once, and I was so afraid that Hugh would suspect it. She would never have done for you; would she, Harry?" "She did a great deal better for herself." said Harry. "If you mean that ironically, you shouldn't say it now. If he dies, she will be well off, of course, and people will in time forget what has been said that is, if she will live quietly.
But now the words fell half-formed from his trembling lips, and the sounds died away before they were uttered. "Were I to speak, Imogen, who has always beheld me with an aspect of benignity, might be offended. I should say no more than the truth; but Imogen is modest. She does not suspect that she possesses half the superiority over such as are called fair, which I see in her.
I the rather suspect some natural disposition of this kind; for, from the instant I perceived the extreme curiosity manifested on the subject, I felt a secret satisfaction in baffling it, for which, when its unimportance is considered, I do not well know how to account.
In Truth, if I am not deceived, I Suspect they desire that the Gipsey should be pardoned, and then to convince the World that she was guilty in order to cast the greater Reflection on him who was principally instrumental in obtaining such Pardon.
But for this unhappy passion he would have remained honest." "Leonard must dislike me," said Carl, thoughtfully. "He is jealous of you; I warned you he or some one else might become so.

Whatever he might think of his wife, no living person should ever suspect that he could have wished her to be different. He had chosen her and he must abide by his choice.
Little dream they, while expressing their sympathy alas! too often, as of late shown in England, a hypocritical utterance little do they suspect, while glibly commiserating the lot of thy sable-skinned children, that hundreds, ay thousands, of their own colour and kindred are held within thy confines, subject to a lot even lowlier than these a fate far more fearful. Alas! it is even so.
If I stay longer they will suspect me." She slipped from the shrubbery and was gone, and, John, afire with new emotions, strolled in a wide circuit back to the stables. A week went by. Twice every day he saw Julie on the terrace, but no word passed between them, the chance never came. But the hosts of the air were at work.
"What was the matter?" "Alice Brentwood was the matter, I rather suspect," he said, getting off his horse. "Hold him for me, mother, while I take the saddle off." She did as requested. "And so they two are at loggerheads, eh, about Miss Brentwood? Of course. And what sort of a girl is she?" "Oh, very pretty; deuced pretty, in fact. But there is one there takes my fancy better." "Who is she?"
It seems practicable, at such times, for one to take ship and sail up into heaven. I have often, indeed, seen white sails climbing up there, and fishing-boats, at secure anchor I suppose, riding apparently like balloons in the hazy air. Sea and air and land here are all kin, I suspect, and have certain immaterial qualities in common.
