But this is unchristian, and I must go consult Doctor Dubiety. Flesh and Blood! Have you never thought upon the Wrongs your Pedagogue has wrought upon you, and longed to meet that Wretch, and wheal his flesh with the same instrument with which he whealed you, and make the Ruffian howl for mercy? Mercy, quotha! did he ever show you any? A pretty equal match it was, surely!
"Try and adopt my opinion," he answered, with a smile, for the girl's dubiety was not very flattering. "I know I am saying the wrong thing. I cannot help it. Margaret's distress tried me sorely. Be gentle with her that is all I ask." The door opened, and Mrs. Capella entered.
Then, meandering through this wilderness of dubiety, ran thoughts of Oliver. Every one seemed to have gone crazy over him. Uncle Edward and Aunt Sophia had hung on his lips while he lied unblushingly about his adventures.
He stopped as much in amazement as in dubiety about the door, for the noise that had baffled him farther back in the tunnel was now close at hand, and he might have been in a ship's hold and the ship all blown about by tempest, to judge from the inexplicable thunder that shook the darkness.

"Tell Davie yonder that I'm very well and very, very guid," she said, as she handed me the letter. "With infinite pleasure, my lady," I replied. "It will be true, ye ken," she asserted, as if there was a corner for dubiety in her own mind regarding the matter. "Solemnly and obviously true, my lady," I agreed.
But no sooner was he informed that Ivanhoe was in careful, and probably in friendly hands, than the paternal anxiety which had been excited by the dubiety of his fate, gave way anew to the feeling of injured pride and resentment, at what he termed Wilfred's filial disobedience. "Let him wander his way," said he "let those leech his wounds for whose sake he encountered them.
Certainly observations on professional technique, especially if they should include, like his, acute discussion of the speaker's obligation to honesty of thinking, no less than integrity of conduct; of the immorality of the pragmatic standard of mere effectiveness or immediate efficiency in the selection of material; of the aesthetic folly and ethical dubiety of simulated extempore speaking and genuinely impromptu prayers, would not be superfluous.
