Men of science were, in some cases, puzzled, in others believed that a new force must be recognised, in others talked of unconscious pushing or of imposture. A similar explanation was urged, and withdrawn, in the case of the Cock Lane ghost, and it does not appear that M. Babinet produced a ventriloquist who could do the trick. Raps may be counterfeited in many ways, but hardly by ventriloquism.
There are workers "jerkers" and "shirkers"; but through much tribulation and temptation must we enter into the kingdom of heaven. The counterfeit proves the genuine dollar; counterfeits are not counterfeited. So hypocrites prove the genuine Christians. If there were not a genuine there would not be a hypocrite.
'Lor, what nonsense he talks! exclaimed Mrs Lillyvick in answer to the inquiring look of Nicholas. 'Nobody has said anything to me. 'Said, Henrietta! cried the collector. 'Didn't I see him Mr Lillyvick couldn't bring himself to utter the word, but he counterfeited the motion of the eye. 'Well! cried Mrs Lillyvick. 'Do you suppose nobody is ever to look at me?
When Cortes signed the ratification of this sentence, he exclaimed with a sigh: "Happy is he who cannot write, that he may not have occasion to sign the death-warrants of other men."

The unexpected greeting brought a rush of color to Dick's face.
"Take her to Patty Cannon now," said Mrs. Clark, "who is only fit for dead company."

"Joe," whispered the woman's husband, "you're only four mile from Dover. Maybe it's warrants for both of us?"
Had it been the hand of a dying man, or of one in a raging fever, that imprisoned hers, Rachel would not have felt the repulsion that she did at a touch which betrayed to her only too well that the toucher's illness was counterfeited.
There are various ways of getting at a knowledge of character by looks, words, actions. The first of these, which seems the most superficial, is perhaps the safest, and least liable to deceive: nay, it is that which mankind, in spite of their pretending to the contrary, most generally go by.
