We persisted and found the path almost as smooth as a main road. The object was to halt for the night at a neighbouring water-hole in the rocks; and, when their trick failed, the Baliyy with a naive infantine candour, talked and laughed over their failure, sans vergogne and within earshot. After the usual ante-meridian halt, we pushed on down the valley, meeting only a few donkey-drivers.
Our Muse, with the candour which distinguished her, never failed to remind her attendant of the real state of matters.
"We want a steak as usual, please and my sister said you was to be sure to give me jest as good a cut as if it was her," she added with child-like candour. "Oh, that's all right." The butcher picked up his weapon with a grin. "Your sister knows a cut as well as any of us," he remarked.
Now he must walk to Bridlington, where an uncle lived who would give him a home. He produced a letter from his uncle, but he had either lost or torn up the envelope. All this and more he told my son with such candour and sincerity, that he was soon the poorer by half-a-crown. Then, to improve the fellow's chance of getting to Bridlington, he brought him to me.

To establish his sister's reputation this gentleman went out as Sir Kit's second next day, when he met the last of his adversaries.
You do not treat me with candour; it is not true what you say; this will not soon pass away, it will last forever if you deign not to speak to me; to admit my consolations. I demand, and most solemnly I demand if in any way I am the cause of your unhappiness.
Madame Chaise at once kissed him and told him that she was not at all angry. And the Vignerons' delight in living was displayed in all candour. "If the kidneys are not up to much," M. de Guersaint now said to Pierre, "here at all events are some cauliflowers with a good flavour." The formidable mastication was still going on around them.
