When I give the word 'Up, spring to your feet and cock your guns; but don't fire a shot till you get the word." He then stepped forward and said, "The Peigan warriors are double-tongued; they know that they have hid the Pale-face prisoners.
Now these insinuations and questions shall be answered in their proper places; here I will but say that I scorn and detest lying, and quibbling, and double-tongued practice, and slyness, and cunning, and smoothness, and cant, and pretence, quite as much as any Protestants hate them; and I pray to be kept from the snare of them. But all this is just now by the bye; my present subject is Mr.
"I wish you were all in full moat together," said the baron, "and smooth wall on both sides." "Punnest thou?" said the friar. "A heinous anti-christian offence. Why anti-christian?

She watched him walking off with P. Blinders, for whom she entertained a distaste grounded on the knowledge that no good ever came of these double-tongued Free Staters.
Nor will it be amiss also to imitate the rhetoricians of our times, who think themselves in a manner gods if like horse leeches they can but appear to be double-tongued, and believe they have done a mighty act if in their Latin orations they can but shuffle in some ends of Greek like mosaic work, though altogether by head and shoulders and less to the purpose.

As quickly as he could carry me off from my home, and return to his own haunts in Europe, he brought me away from the colony, where all whom I could ever call friends were living.
To bring this disgrace on my father's honoured name, a double-tongued knave! He turned and shook his fist at the chapel and all in it, and resumed his way.
