'I can't, I whispered, 'I can't. I would if I could. He gently took my hand. 'My dear companion, he said, 'tell me your name. I was surprised. Memories of the Bible, for some inexplicable reason, flashed through my mind. 'Magdalen, I replied, and my voice was so deceptively quiet and sincere that he believed it. I could see that he was taken aback.
His deceptively mild eyes were hard flames now. His face was set in great strong ridges. Hilary had never seen him this way before. "I'll rip every Mercutian to pieces with my bare hands shred him into little bits." He meant it too. Hilary shuddered. Far off down the wide thoroughfare came the glint of weapons, the sight of massed ranks. A Mercutian patrol was shambling along, heavy-gaited.
The day was sunny almost deceptively so and Abner, who knew the good points in his own figure and was glad to dispense with a heavy overcoat whenever possible, limited his panoply to a soft felt hat and a pair of good stout gloves.
Rene burned to pour out his story of the wonderful Madame de Medici, of the secret house in Chinatown with its deceptively mean exterior and its gorgeous interior, to the shrewd and worldly elder man.

I had first seen the place on a moist afternoon when distances are deceptively diminished. In addition, the heel of one of my shoes was loose, and a nail was working through the sole they were comfortable old shoes I wore about indoors so that I was lame. And it was already long past sunset when I came in sight of the palace, silhouetted black against the pale yellow of the sky.
Burr in the fullest sense of the expression, she would certainly unless she outlived the impact of two hundred new stocks and three thousand old bats and closures, deceptively arranged to seem like a wall have had the advantage, whatever it is, of decent burial, even if she had not had a married niece at Clapham, or any other relative elsewhere.

In it were an obviously prosperous man and a black-haired, fine-skinned girl whose pumps rested on an immaculate horsehide bag. They were Dr. Will Kennicott and his bride, Carol.
"It scared me stiff, and I think I have a lot of white hairs right now, but I wouldn't have missed it for anything." She paused an instant, and continued: "Dick, there must be a queer streak of brutality in me, but would you mind blowing up that frightful tree? I wouldn't mind its nature if it were ugly but look at it! It's so deceptively beautiful!
