Often, from his high seat, he had listened indulgently to police court perjuries in cooked-up cases; but for the first time perjury was directed against him, and he no longer sat above the court, with the bailiffs, the Policemen's clubs, and the prison cells behind him. "Your Honor," he cried, "never have I heard such a pack of lies told by so bare-faced a liar !" Watson here sprang to his feet.
Absolom withdrew with a sigh. Mr. Waddington eyed the prospective buyer sorrowfully. "You are quite sure that you mean it, sir?" he asked. "The chest is not worth the money, you know." "You attend to your business and I'll attend to mine!" the old gentleman answered, savagely. "Most improper behavior, I call it, trying to buy in your own goods in this bare-faced manner.
The modern newspaper writer, who is always glad, when off duty, to call things by their plain names, would brand the notice of the "Distressed Mother" as a bare-faced puff. And who could quarrel with his scepticism? Actors are not in the habit of weeping over the reading of a play; they have little time for such briny luxury.
One would almost think the old nursery song of "The beggar whose name was Stout, He cut her petticoats all round about, He cut her petticoats far above her knee, &c.," was written to perpetuate the mandate. Certainly a "Stout beggar was the Papal church." "Consistent with modesty," "sicut decet verecundiam sexus;" nothing can beat that bare-faced hypocrisy.

It's simply bare-faced fortune hunting; but there you are she is her own mistress, and she's married him." "It must be a difficult situation for you all." "Difficult! It's damnable!"
Not to enter into minute details relative to the revocation of grants, the reversal of judicial decisions, obtaining his signature to fictitious appointments, or the bare-faced alteration of them after signing; he put to death Appius Silanus, the father of his son-in-law, and the two Julias, the daughters of Drusus and Germanicus, without any positive proof of the crimes with which they were charged, or so much as permitting them to make any defence.
Henry Blaine rose and paced back and forth as if almost oblivious of the other's presence. "The mortgage of his was forged we have proved that," he continued. "Why, then, should not every other available security have been stolen in practically the same way?" he continued. "But how would anyone dare? The whole thing is too bare-faced," Ramon expostulated.
