Jim had no reason to decline any information he was able to give, and he furnished all his captor desired to know. When the examination was finished, the note-book was closed, and Mr. Hornblower asked, in the most friendly of tones, "Have they used you well?" "They have," was the truthful reply. "Do you know why?" "I suppose because you instructed them to do so."
How many men are of this temper, and who never understand that it is by surrendering ourselves to numberless little voluntary deceptions of this sort, we arrive at intimacies the most real and most truthful. She next tried Gorman, and here her success was complete.
"I admit," said the doctor, "that I don't quite see my way to a satisfactory explanation just at present. But let us look the matter squarely in the face. During an acquaintance of nearly thirty years, I always found your uncle a truthful man, who was cautious enough to make no statements about his neighbours that he was not able to prove.
He would have told any sympathetic listener that he owed everything to Mark zeal for souls, habits of self-denial, a new view of life, even enjoyment of pictures and of Browning, as well as interest in social science.

There must have been not three but four rows of house-blocks from south-west to north-east; the graves once noted in this quarter must be older than our Herculaneum or otherwise unconnected with it. The whole town must have been 40 or 45 rather than 25 acres in area. Even so it is a little town. The unenthusiastic references to it in ancient literature are, after all, truthful.

Equal unto Indra in wealth and Kuvera in hoarding, he is the protector of the worlds like unto Manu himself of mighty prowess. Endued with great might, he is even such.

"No, I'm very sorry; for I like to see you coming and going as you used to, years ago, and I miss you very much when you are gone, John," answered truthful Nan, whittling away in a sadly wasteful manner, as her thoughts flew back to the happy times when a little lad rode a little lass in a big wheelbarrow, and never spilt his load, when two brown heads bobbed daily side by side to school, and the favorite play was "Babes in the Wood," with Di for a somewhat peckish robin to cover the small martyrs with any vegetable substance that lay at hand.
On the northern side of Meru is a delightful and excellent forest of Karnikaras, covered with the flowers of every season, and occupying a range of hills. Him Siddhas truthful in speech, of excellent vows and austere ascetic penances, can behold. Indeed, Maheswara is incapable of being seen by persons of wicked conduct.
And, indeed, he would say, in his business transactions, he had over and over again found that men who were not 'professors' i.e. who did not claim to be 'saved' were more truthful and more to be depended on in their engagements than those who constantly talked of righteousness. For all that with a tremendous shaving for all that, the gospel was true.
