The girl fairly shuddered at this suggestion. She hesitated, and for a moment was unable to speak. Of course this behavior on her part filled my soul with awful apprehension. Could it be possible that she and Louis were in collusion, and that she dreaded the Frenchman's disclosures? I remembered the strange looks he had cast at her while being questioned by the coroner.
"Yes!" responded the consul; and he ascended the stairs in such trepidation that he tripped and fell part of the way up. "Have you been saying anything to that man about my going away?" "No, I've simply been blowing him up on the fiacre driver's account. He swears they are innocent of collusion. But of course they're not." "Well, all right. Mrs. Kenton is waiting for us to go to dinner.
"Sir," said the accused, "of course I have no intention of intimating that a gentleman like the Honourable Colonel Keith has been in any collusion with this unhappy woman, but it must be obvious to you that his wish to exonerate his friend has induced him to give too easy credence to this person's malignant attempts to fasten upon one whom she might have had reason to regard as a benefactor the odium of the transactions that she acknowledges to have taken place between herself and this Maddox, thereto incited, no doubt, by some resemblance which must be strong, since it has likewise deceived Mr.

He could not even stop at criminal negligence. If, by an access of courtesy, the Minister were civil enough to admit that the escape of the Alabama had been due to criminal negligence, he could make no such concession in regard to the ironclad rams which the Lairds were building; for no one could be so simple as to believe that two armored ships-of-war could be built publicly, under the eyes of the Government, and go to sea like the Alabama, without active and incessant collusion.
Yet collusion seemed impossible, for Mark had given no notice to Bendigo Redmayne of his coming. Brendon asked himself if he had suffered a hallucination, but he knew that his rational mind was not constituted to create ghosts from within. Imagination he had, but therein was a source of strength, not weakness, and no grain of superstition weakened his mental endowment.

I hope that after my experience, whatever it is, some young woman of courage will follow."
"If it's a collusion to Sally Flattery you mane, take care I don't make you ate your words." "Paddy," exclaimed Phelim, "you oughtn't to be hurtin' their feelin's!" "If you mane me," said the housekeeper, "by the crook on the fire, I'd lave you a mark." "I mane you for one, thin, since you provoke me," replied Donovan.
