Another kind of calumny is, by instilling sly suggestions; which although they do not downrightly assert falsehoods, yet they breed sinister opinions in the hearers; especially in those who, from weakness or credulity, from jealousy or prejudice, from negligence or inadvertency, are prone to entertain them.
However, Brenton, once his resignation was handed in, turned a deaf ear alike to argument and coaxing. The reason for his resignation he had insisted on setting forth downrightly: he was able no longer to affirm absolute belief in some of the main tenets of his church. The entire community loved Brenton. Now it gave proof of that love in a most loyal fashion.
"True!" she said with a forced laugh, "I am not remarkably pretty; I was not so even in my younger days. There is something whimsical about beauty; one can never tell or describe downrightly in what it consists; it is always only the want of certain things which, when you have them at their full size, make up what folks call ugliness.
He had never been a favourite before, but it certainly was not pleasant to have to learn now by the most unmistakable signs that he was downrightly unpopular and disliked by those from whom he should have had his warmest backing up.
"Do you LIKE," said Bobbie, doubtfully, drying her hands on the rough towel that hung on a roller at the back of the scullery door, "do you LIKE us being rewarded for saving a train?" "Yes, I do," said Peter, downrightly; "and don't you try to come it over us that you don't like it, too. Because I know you do." "Yes," said Bobbie, doubtfully, "I know I do.

In the first place, if our Saviour himself had to bear such things, if it was possible for him to be suspected though but by the Evil One, surely you might forgive me with all your heart, if with half or a quarter of mine I have now and then half misdoubted you. Meseems, this mysterious, marvellous story with its fathomless, untold meanings does not downrightly condemn my views of human nature.
Fed on pork, fluted deaf, bit with bugs, and robbed at cards fairly, downrightly robbed. Never was a more reg'ler plant put on a man. Thank goodness, however, I haven't paid him never will, either. Such a confounded, disreputable scoundrel deserves to be punished big, bad, blackguard-looking fellow! How the deuce I could ever be taken in by such a fellow!
You know men are so vain. I should hate him to know" she hesitated and then finished the sentence with fine art "to know how much I care." "Of course you care," said Betty downrightly. "You ought to care. It would be horrid of you if you didn't." "But I don't, now. Now I know you, Miss Desmond. I understand so well and I like to think of his being with you."
She recalled their talk of the sea-gulls, and of the men of the forests, and she remembered the almost brutal contempt for them he had so downrightly expressed. Then the moment of disaster to herself. It was he who had saved her, he who had fought for her, although he had been in little better case himself. What was it they had told her? He must be bought or smashed.
