As far back as the year 1906 the late Count Witte and myself made a guess at the time-distance which the nation still had to traverse, assuming the rate of progress to be constant, before reaching the abyss. This, however, was mere guesswork, which one of the many possibilities and in especial change in the speed-rate might belie.
Janet did not relish her enthronement as a heroine, she deplored and even resented her mother's attitude toward her father, which puzzled her; for the studied cruelty of it seemed to belie her affection for him.
"Take a brandy-toddy, Mr. H ?" said Hammond, after the discussion closed, good humoredly. "Frank, our junior bar-keeper here, beats his father, in that line." "I don't care if I do," returned the farmer; and the two passed up to the bar. "Now, Frank, my boy, don't belie my praises," said the young man; "do your handsomest."

In struggling to belie her feelings, day after day, Hadria feared, at times, that she would break down disastrously.

So he was doing his best to belie his nature. "Hullo, William!" he would call out as a man passed driving a horse and buggy, "got the little sorrel out for a spin, eh?" Then he would turn to me and say in a low rasping voice
The farmer's demeanor toward us was that of a systematic grouch and his appearance did not belie his disposition as surly and sulky looking as a whipped criminal. He would stand in the doorway, watching us continually, as if he feared we were going to steal his house from over his head, and about the only thing he would say was to warn us not to destroy the hedge.
"And who told thee, Goetz, that I would do ought with the girl that should hinder her from being the very same fat, sourkrout-cooking, pewter-scrubbing housewife of thy mind's eye?"

His torch will be at the threshold and his knife at the throat of the planter. Horrible and indiscriminate will be his vengeance. Where, then, will be the pride, the beauty, and the chivalry of the South? The smoke of her torment will rise upward like a thick cloud visible over the whole earth.
