"How will it be against him that you know him?" "Oh, I don't know. It won't be so much one's knowing him as one's having kept it out of sight." "Ah," said Mrs. Stringham, as if for comfort, "you haven't kept it out of sight. Isn't it much rather Miss Croy herself who has?" "It isn't my acquaintance with him," Milly smiled, "that she has dissimulated." "She has dissimulated only her own?
"Didn't I tell you he was eager?" she had meanwhile asked of him. "It's eagerness dissimulated," the young man returned as the subject of their observation lingered before his Gainsborough. "He edges toward us shyly. Does he mean that she saved him by burning that book?" "That book? what book did she burn?" The girl quickly turned her face to him. "Hasn't he told you then?"

You shall have it.
On the other hand, Europe, after emerging from the War, is darkened and overcast by intrigues, secret agreements and dissimulated plots: fresh menaces of war and fresh explosions of dissatisfaction. Nothing can help the cause of peace more than giving a full knowledge of the real situation to the various peoples. Errors thrive in darkness while truth walks abroad in the full light of day.

"But if it's the V.C. and a Brigade, and perhaps a Division if it's everything else imaginable except " I snapped my fingers in imitation "What then?" Again the hateful twitch of the lips, which he quickly dissimulated in a smile. "I'll begin to try to be a brave man." He lit another cigarette.
But at M. Plantat's approach, the women fled like a troop of frightened gulls. The old man's unexpected appearance annoyed the placid Baptiste not a little, for he was interrupted, by the sudden departure of his audience, in the midst of a superb oratorical flight. As he had a great fear of M. Plantat, however, he dissimulated his chagrin with his habitual smile.
