The fact that you have called upon her will be a reason for some others to do the same; for, you know, there are persons who never act from a distinct sense of right, but merely follow in the wake of others. Thus the influence of a selfish, censorious, evil-minded woman will be extended. So far as you are concerned, the danger may be greater than you imagine.
I went to London with Farnum with only a little part but McLennan saw me and liked my work, and asked me to take the American adventuress in his new play. And then my fortune was made.

Dugald has been a prisoner in the house, because she cannot go out alone; and she will not go out, attended by me, unless you are also of the party, for fear that evil-minded people will talk." Claudia's beautiful lip curled with scorn as she answered: "Mrs. Dugald's scruples do credit to her powers of duplicity." "You wrong her.

It was for his having disregarded the Brahmanas that the great Asura the wicked and evil-minded Vatapi was digested when he came in contact with Agastya.
"Evil-minded men have deceived them, but I hope we shall succeed in bringing the people back from their error." "Sire," sighed Marie Antoinette, "I hope for nothing more; but," added she, with still firmer voice, "I also fear nothing more. The worst may break over me it shall find me armed!"
