"There that's a leetle mite easier, ain't it?" The young man nodded almost fretfully. "I'm all right, Uncle William. Don't you fuss any more." He leaned forward, looking toward the wharf. "Who is that?" Uncle William pushed up his spectacles and peered. "I don't seem to see anybody," he said truthfully. He was gazing with some painstaking in the opposite direction. "Not there. Look! She's gone!"
Then his West Point training against all forms of deceit led him to wondering, at once, whether Mr. Cameron could truthfully be defined as "a ridiculous thing." "Tell me," smiled the girl patiently. "Not I," defied Prescott gayly. "Then you would find me more ridiculous than the thing about which I was thinking."
Here was a woman who could be dealt with by no known rules, who did not even deign to notice a week of marked coldness. "Jethro," she said, with a terrifying sternness, "I am going to ask you a question, and you must answer me truthfully." "G-guess I won't find any trouble about that," said Jethro, apparently not in the least terrified. "I want you to tell me why you are going to meeting."
The edict of the Prefect which forbids the selling of children increases the cases of infanticide, and in time of famine there are few mothers among the starving poor who can truthfully assert that they have never abandoned any of their offspring.

Those wan features and dark, starving eyes had kindled within him from the first, a hideous sense of familiarity against which he fought indeed but ever vainly. Once before he had seen them, and it was at the moment when his own life had first come into touch with things tragical. Yet if his memory served him truthfully, he was surely face to face with an insoluble enigma.
Many a winning story of "way down upon de ole plantation" has been truthfully told. Will S. Hays has immortalized it in song. A Southern writer has thus portrayed the Xmas time: "For weeks beforehand everything was full of stir and preparation. Holly and mistletoe and cedar were being put about the rooms of the big house to welcome home the boys and girls from school.
It tells where a hidden treasure is, does it not?" Glancing at her beautiful, animated countenance, I answered truthfully, "Yes"; but added, "It at least points me to a treasure that is unattainable." For an instant she was puzzled, then she bent suddenly over the cipher and asked no more questions.
"But how came the idea of that unworthy masquerade ever to arise?" she said, with a sort of impatience. La Briere related truthfully the scene in the poet's study which Modeste's first letter had occasioned, and the sort of challenge that resulted from his expressing a favorable opinion of a young girl thus led toward a poet's fame, as a plant seeks its share of the sun.
