You are very young, sir, to be a horticulturist." "Dear M. Blondet, never mind your flowers," said Mme. Camusot. "You are concerned, you and your hopes, and your son's marriage with Mlle. Blandureau. You are duped by the President." "Bah!" said old Blondet, with an incredulous air. "Yes," retorted she.
It is my only talent and I do not underestimate it." "You are a hard man, Markham. Time has not softened you." "I will still endeavour to be just, madam. I will tell you this if I discover that I have been duped, I'll give, outright, a good sum of money to you in trust for Lansing!" "You think I I have simply tried to blacken Morley's character for personal gain?" "No, no, Mrs. Treadwell.
"Let me question the lad," Mr. Allen softly interposed. "Tell me, Richard, who has influenced you to this way of thinking?" I saw his ruse, and was not to be duped by it. "Men who have not feared to act bravely against oppression, sir," I said.
Fourthly, the universities, the "historians, philosophers, political pamphleteers, and other apologists of German Kultur." Fifthly, rancorous diplomatists, with a sense that they had been duped.

Both boats were in a wide avenue in the midst of the vessels, the usual track of those who went to sea, and there was no object whatever between them.

I will give the hundred roubles, and I promise you I will not treat her as a slave. But I hope you will care for my interests, as I do not wish to be duped."
There was a violent condemnation by the duped men of "unwarranted interference by the French Government with natural and national expression." Hogg, an American business traveler, said "The Barbary Coast in Frisco had Tahiti skinned a mile for the real thing," and Stevens, a London broker, that the dance was "bally tame for four bob."
Lecoq withdrew with another awkward bow; but he had not reached the street before a significant grimace betrayed his inward satisfaction. She had duped him once, and now he had repaid her. On looking round him he perceived a half-built house at the corner of the Rue St. Quentin, and being momentarily in want of a hiding-place he concluded that he had best conceal himself there.
However piqued the young Hungarian might be to find himself duped in this manner, he rejoiced at the occasion which had thrown Fathom in his way; and, after having made him a tender of his purse, took his leave, on purpose to wait upon Trapwell, who was not quite so untractable as an enraged cuckold commonly is; for, by this time, he had accomplished the best part of his aim, which was to be divorced from his wife, and was fully convinced that the defendant was no more than a needy adventurer, who, in all probability, would be released by an act of parliament for the benefit of insolvent debtors; in which case, he, the plaintiff, would reap no solid advantage from his imprisonment.
