Poor Leonora! you are but a bad dissembler, and it is in vain to try to conceal yourself from me. I was so sorry for her, and so incensed with Olivia this night, that I could not restrain myself, and I made matters worse. At supper I came almost to open war with her ladyship.
She was a poor dissembler, hated even the shadow of a lie, and here was a fact, which, if truth could conceal it, must not be known.
The hearts of all men melted towards the old dissembler, and the bishops dispersed from Ariminum in the full belief that the council would take its place in history among the bulwarks of the faith. The Western council was dissolved in seeming harmony, but a strong minority disputed the conclusions of the Easterns at Seleucia. Both parties, therefore, hurried to Constantinople.
Restore her to that purity which her desolate condition, her ignorance, her misplaced gratitude and the artifices of a skilful dissembler, have destroyed, if it be destroyed; for how know we under what circumstances her ruin was accomplished? With what pretences, or appearances, or promises, she was won to compliance?" "True.
It was the new clothes in fact that made me think of taking you in." "Are you such a good dissembler?" Raskolnikov asked carelessly. "You wouldn't have supposed it, eh? Wait a bit, I shall take you in, too. Ha-ha-ha! No, I'll tell you the truth. All these questions about crime, environment, children, recall to my mind an article of yours which interested me at the time.
Fouche, like the Emperor, frequently revealed what he intended to conceal; but he had such a reputation for cunning that this sort of indiscretion was attended by no inconvenience to him. He was supposed to be such a constant dissembler that those who did not know him well looked upon the truth when he spoke it merely as an artful snare laid to entrap them.
Did you ever hear tell of the life of a man of genius but what there were numerous witnesses who deposed to the fact, that until, perfidious dissembler! he flared up and set the Thames on fire they had never seen anything in him; an odd creature, perhaps a good creature, probably a poor creature, but a MAN of GENIUS! They would as soon have suspected him of being the Khann of Tartary!
"Why, then, we'll stay for you," said her ladyship, and threw him into confusion, hopeless dissembler that he was. "Nay, nay! I beg that you will not." Her ladyship's brows went up; her eyes narrowed again, and a frown came between them.
'You must rest a little longer before you try to start back. You were so tired you fainted. And your eyes must have played you a trick. "'You mean, she began and stopped. "I am not much of a dissembler, and I found it hard to meet her look, but I answered with all the assurance I could muster. 'I mean, madam, you are mistaken about that hat.
To be sure, if he be false, as I may call it, I have gone too far, much too far! But sure, at least, he must be sincere for the time! He could not be such a practised dissembler! If he could, O how desperately wicked is the heart of man! And where could he learn all these barbarous arts? If so, it must be native surely to the sex!
