To Mohammed Aly it was of more consequence not to be thought a fool than a bad muselman. Notwithstanding these declarations of the Pasha to the English gentlemen, which were made in private, and certainly were not occasioned by any imprudent speeches of mine, I continued to live, after my return to Cairo, without molestation, as a Moslem, in the Turkish quarter.
Here again we must be reminded, that it belongs to the province of theology, not history, to show in what nearer or more remote connection the doctrine of the mass, as then laid down and practised by the Church, stands with the declarations of Holy Scripture. It is enough to remark, that it rests upon the idea, so deeply rooted in the human spirit, of the duty of sacrifice.
But her manner froze in proportion to her inward heat. "Am I given to making promiscuous declarations of that sort?" "Not that I am aware of. But you have rather original ideas on the platonic question; and one can never quite tell where you draw the line." "I draw it at telling a man I am fond of him," she answered, with a slight lift of her head.
On the contrary, they are kept in a state of obscurity and contempt, and in a degree of indigence at times bordering on beggary.

Mr. Barton listened patiently to those peasant-like digressions, while Mrs. Barton listened patiently to the Captain's fervid declarations of love.
He would, therefore, give her another chance, and resolved before he went to bed that night that he would allow a fortnight to pass away, and would then write to her, renewing his offer with all the strongest declarations of affection which he would be enabled to make. Clara on her way home was not well satisfied with herself or with her position.
What! interrupted she, with all your mannerly flings, and your despising airs, did you expect that I was capable of telling stories for you? Did you think, that when I was asked my own opinion of the sincerity of your declarations, I could not tell tem, how far matters had gone between you and your fellow?
The question, therefore, whether a treaty should be accepted in that form could have admitted but of one decision, even had no declarations of the other party impaired our confidence in it.
