Cratchit, when she had rallied Bob on his credulity, and Bob had hugged his daughter to his heart's content. "As good as gold," said Bob, "and better. Somehow he gets thoughtful, sitting by himself so much, and thinks the strangest things you ever heard.
By this time the charming credulity of the negroes had abated, and they answered the statement that slave-drivers were murdering their race in adjacent regions by saying that slave-drivers, at least, did not tell them lies nor steal their money. All the whites and many of the blacks in Louisiana felt themselves cruelly wronged by the action of the Federal authorities.
But such abuses, the fruit of many ages of credulity and ignorance, do not materially diminish the force of the impression produced by scenes which no art can change, and hardly any description can disguise. The hills still stand round about Jerusalem, as they stood in the days of David and of Solomon.
Is one that hangs in the balance with all sorts of opinions, whereof not one but stirs him and none sways him. A man guiltier of credulity than he is taken to be; for it is out of his belief of everything, that he fully believes nothing.

Prince Hohenlohe and the pamphlets, pro and con, occupy us much. Crampton's second edition of his I think excellent.
"I have changed so completely since I saw you," said Geoffrey, "that I scarcely recognise life in this this ecstasy. That is the only change. Am I likely to turn you out when I have been waiting all my life for you to come?" It had been with her own dream, her own credulity with which she had been fighting quite as much as with Holland, and the charm began to work once again.
Tell him that the Regiment will take care of you and make you as good a man as your as good a man as can be. Tell him that if he believes in miracles he must believe that 'There is no need to play on his credulity, Bennett interrupted. 'I'm doing no such thing.

Then the nurse took the hundred and one little innocent children the hundred little boys and the one little girl and threw them behind the palace on the dust-heap, close to some large rat-holes; and after that, she and the twelve Ranees placed a very large stone in each of the babies' cradles, and said to Guzra Bai, "Oh, you evil witch in disguise, do not hope any longer to impose by your arts on the Rajah's credulity.
