About a century ago an Italian nobleman was deceived by his wife, who had a liaison with one of his pages. The nobleman discovered it, but pretended ignorance in order to complete his plans for the destruction of both. One day he presented the page with a beautifully wrought helmet.

"Why do you mention that name to me? What do I care for him who has deceived me? I wish he stood at the church door, that he might see how I would look at him and pass him leaning on your faithful arm." "Susan!" cried a well-known voice behind her.

Having glanced over it, the Cardinal said, "I do not remember having written it." "But what if the original, signed by yourself, were shown to you?" "If the letter be signed by myself it is genuine." He was extremely confused, and repeated several times, "I have been deceived, Sire; I will pay for the necklace. I ask pardon of your Majesties."

"Kamrasi came today; as usual, he wanted all that I had, and insisted upon a present of my sword, watch, and compass, all of which I positively refused. I told him that he had deceived me by saying that the lake was so distant as six months' journey, as I knew that it was only ten days.

Pepeeta exclaimed, imperatively. "Madam," continued the strange man, "I have betrayed you." "You have betrayed me?" "Yes, I have betrayed you. Do you understand? You are not married to your husband.

He had a thousand virtues and one crime. But that crime struck at the foundation of society. He deceived and stole; he was a liar and a thief, and no pretty ways could hide the fact. His intelligent, bright face couldn't save him. If he had been honest, he might have grown up to be a large, ornamental fox.

You can trust him." "But I can't trust him. After having been so wickedly deceived by my own father, I can trust no one. Why did not Mr. Grey find it out before, if it be true? I give you my word, Augustus, the lawyers will have to fight it out before you will be allowed to take possession." "And yet you do not scruple to come and live here at my cost." "Not in the least.

As he read them over, Andras shook with anger against the two who had deceived him; and also, and involuntarily, he felt an indefined, timid pity for the woman who had trusted and been deceived a pity he immediately drove away, as if he were afraid of himself, afraid of forgiving. "What did Varhely mean by speaking to me of pardon?" he thought. "Am I yet avenged?"

It was to tell him what was true or what was not true. And now? Here have we no continuing city, we seek one to come. That did not tell him anything. He got up from the steps mechanically, deceived in all his hopes.

But if we pass over the proof of the assumption, again the argumentation will be arranged under four heads, in this manner: "When men have repeatedly deceived us, having pledged their faith to us, we ought not to give credit to anything that they say for if we receive any injury; in consequence of their perfidy, there will be no one except ourselves whom we shall have any right to accuse.
