"You have taught me too well. Failing to act now, on what I am positive is right, would be as dishonorable as treason itself." "It would indeed," Thark replied with regret. "You leave me no choice. I cannot kill a guest in my home; to do that would bring only shame. However, I cannot let you live to reach the Imperials with this information, either.
Certainly not; I assure you, George, the punishment of such a nasty, sneaking, dishonorable act would be death in every gang, and cheap, too. Well, we have broken into Nature's shop here, and we are to rifle her, and not turn to like unnatural monsters, and rob our ten thousand pals." "Thieving is thieving, in my view," was the prejudiced reply.
To-morrow I shall take ze train back to London. Himmel! Vy vas I fool enof to act soch dishonorable lies! I deceive all these kind peoples!" "It isn't that which worries me," said Bunker imperturbably. "I am only afraid that if you display this spirit you won't deceive them." "I do not vish to," said the Baron sulkily.
If he did not believe in himself, how could he make others believe in him?

He counted the dishonorable tally on his fingers. "I'm a horse-poisoner, a thief, a welcher. I've deserted my wife and family. I owe you how much?"
She soon sent for her son, the Duke du Maine, hoping to hear, from his lips at least, words of sympathy.
