Lavalliere knitted his brow and said "It is neither thee nor thy wife that I fear, but evil-minded people, who will take advantage of this to entangle us like skeins of silk." "Do not be afraid of me," replied Maille, clasping Lavalliere to his breast. "If it be the divine will of the Almighty that I should have the misfortune to be a cuckold, I should be less grieved if it were to your advantage.
But I tell you this, Anna; that what evil a husband can do, even let him be evil-minded as was your father, is nothing, nothing, nothing to the cruelty of a cruel child.

"I shall have nothing to do with the card-tables, and I hope not with the false hair nor yet much, I suppose, with the horse-jockeys." "There will still remain the worst of the four curses." "Mr. Bertram, how can you be so evil-minded? I have had many happy days at Littlebath." And then she paused, for she remembered that her happy days there had all been passed with Caroline Waddington.
"Keep your eye upon Monsieur le Chevalier," said De Lauson; "for he will count largely before the year is gone." As for Victor, he was more or less indifferent.

As a rule he found them to be unclean, vulgar and evil-minded; and the hideous paints disturbed his dreams.
Moreover, it was sadly inevitable that the law-abiding borderer as well as the white ruffian, the peaceful Indian as well as the painted marauder, should be plunged into the struggle to suffer the punishment that should only have fallen on their evil-minded fellows.
This was too much for Ortel, who, concealed behind a heap of sacks, had listened to the discussion, and clasping his hands beseechingly, he now went up to his mother and entreated her to beware of repeating the slanders of evil-minded people who had dared to cast stones at the gracious maidens, who were as pure and innocent as their saint herself.
