Crane's vigilance and charity assumed a definite shape. "Well," said he at length, dissimulating his repugnance, and with an effort at his old half-coaxing, half-rollicking tones, "you certainly are the best of creatures; and, as you say, 'Had I a heart for falsehood framed, I ne'er could injure you, ungrateful dog though I may seem, and very likely am.
He only insisted that some faithful and able Ministers should be removed, and others appointed in their place, more complaisant and less honest. New plans of Bonaparte, however, delivered Portugal from this plague; but what did it obtain in return? another grenadier Ambassador, less brutal but more cunning, as abandoned but more dissimulating.
"Here I am!" cried Vassili, bursting in on them with a wriggling fish in one hand and a knife in the other. He had not got over his uneasiness, but had succeeded in dissimulating it deep within him. Now he looked at his guests with serenity and good nature; only his manner was more agitated than usual. "I'll make a bit of a fire in a minute, and we'll talk.
I accept nobody's conditions," nor any species of obligation, no code whatever, not even the common code of outward civility, which, diminishing or dissimulating primitive brutality, allows men to associate together without clashing. He does not comprehend it, and he repudiates it.
They are perhaps less subtle and dissimulating than the Myalls, and if possible more ignorant than they of our language and persons.
The misuse of worldly wealth and the tendency of success to draw us away from God, and to blind to the true source of all blessing, are as rife now as then.

In reality, Baal alone possesses the heart which its owner would share between him and Jehovah.
"What I wished to say was, that my godmother is also unable to write or read, and the friend who was my confidante has gone to the country. So if I should receive a letter from M. Louis, would you have the goodness to read it for me? I would then dictate the answer at once." "Certainly, my child; bring me all your letters," rejoined the old man, dissimulating his satisfaction.
The mind was trivial, though cunning and dissimulating; and the very evenness of her temper seemed but the clockwork of a heart insensible to its own movements. Vain in prosperity, what wonder that she was so abject in misfortune? The king, meanwhile, had ridden out betimes alone, and no other of the male sex presumed in his absence to invade the female circle.
Agatha, I knew, had a peculiarly Borgiaesque equipment. Lastly, there was the worldly device, which I adopted, of dissimulating the furnace of my affliction beneath a smiling exterior. Agatha, therefore, found me an entertaining guest and drove me to the Palace Theatre in high good humour. There, however, I could resign my role of entertainer in favour of the professionals on the stage.
The thorough good faith of the ancient ecclesiastical teaching consisted in not dissimulating the force of any objection, and as the answers were generally very weak, a clever person could work out the truth for himself. I learnt much, too, from the course of lectures on history. Abbé Richard gave these lectures in the spirit of the modern school and with marked ability.
