And so no single soul knew where he had gone, and he said to himself, somewhat bitterly, and quite untruthfully, that no single soul cared. He had paced the deck all night. The swift smooth motion of the boat, with a slight slow roll in it, was very soothing; and the first tremulous hints of the dawn, and the wonder of its slow unfolding, and the coming of the sun were things to be remembered.
To speak of the habitants of New France as downtrodden or oppressed, dispirited or despairing, like the peasantry of the old land in the days before the great Revolution, as some historians have done, is to speak untruthfully. These people were neither serfs nor peons. The habitant, as Charlevoix puts it, "breathed from his birth the air of liberty"; he had his rights and he maintained them.
"Wilks keeps his house in good order," said Hardy, looking round. "Yes," said the girl. "Wonder why he never married," said Hardy, musingly; "for my part I can't understand a man remaining single all his life; can you?" "I never think of such things," said Miss Nugent, coldly and untruthfully. "If it was only to have somebody to wait on him and keep his house clean," pursued Hardy, with malice.

After all, they couldn't do anything else, Paul, but let me out. I've been playing perfectly rotten lately." "But but what's the matter? You don't look stale, chum." "I feel stale, just the same," answered Neil far from untruthfully. "But maybe you'll get in for a while; you're down with the subs," said Paul hopefully. "Maybe I will.
Jack looked straight into the officer’s eyes as he put the question bluntly. An officer of the Army or of the Navy must not answer a question untruthfully.

Here in the fastnesses of the Southwest died at the age of forty-four the intrepid explorer of New France, whom Tonty called perhaps not untruthfully "one of the greatest men of this age."
