Then the American correspondents came in to verify a report that a news agency is said to have had that I was deluged with threatening letters! More widows, more mothers looking for lost sons!... Once in a while far less often than if I lived in a sane and normal world I get a few hours off and go to a lonely golf club.
"What do you want?" asked Johann, savagely. "First. What is your place in this affair?" "What affair?" "The abduction." "I had nothing to do with it, Herr, on my honor. I was only a porter, and I supposed my errand was in good faith." "How about the gentle push you gave me when the door opened? My friend, I'm no infant. Lies will do you no good.

If he were arrested meanwhile, he would have to locate Ringold or Higgins, or some of the others, and prove that he had not run away from punishment.

He rose quickly and entered the hotel, where he bought all the latest New York papers.
Lieutenant Wilkes, in the American exploring expedition, first discovered this, and mapped out some part of the coast, putting a few clouds in likewise a mistake easily made by those who omit to verify every foot of land. Sir James Ross, in his most successful South Pole Expedition, during the years 1839-43, sailed over some of this land, and confirmed the rest.

Madelon looked up into Horace's face with her wide-open gaze, as if to verify this wonderful assertion; and apparently satisfied that it had been made for the sake of effect, continued her game without making any reply. "Oh, then, I really must take it away," said the Countess; "allons, be reasonable, ma petite; let me have that, and go and dance with the other little boys and girls."
As I owed her a compliment, I could think of nothing better than to tell her that though she had not offended me she had made me feel very uncomfortable. "I don't believe you," said she.

When a sensation is used to verify physics, it is used merely as a sign of a certain material phenomenon, i.e. of a group of particulars of which it is a member. But when it is studied by psychology, it is taken away from that group and put into quite a different context, where it causes images or voluntary movements.
They wished to verify their suspicion that Arsene Lupin was in communication with his accomplices outside of the prison. On the preceding evening, the `Grand Journal' had published these lines addressed to its court reporter: "Monsieur: "In a recent article you referred to me in most unjustifiable terms. Some days before the opening of my trial I will call you to account. Arsene Lupin."
