He flushed a dark crimson and gave a guilty start. "I am so glad to know that our suspicions were groundless," she breathed, thankfully; adding: "I am indeed sorry that I can not tell you where Dorothy is; we would all give the world to know, I assure you." He could not help asking next, in a low, husky voice: "What of Nadine Holt? Where is she?" Again the girl's face clouded.
He said excitedly, "The mistake has been made. I would give all I possess if it were undone." But under the mortification caused by parting with old political associates, and the humiliation to which he was subjected by groundless imputations upon his character, his mind gave way and on the 11th of July, 1866 he committed suicide.
I do not impute, in the disclosure you have made, ungenerous motives to you; because, if you attempted to displace my affections from your brother by groundless slander or deliberate falsehood, you would be a monster, and as such I would look upon you, and will, if it appears that you are maligning him for selfish purposes of your own.
I thought it very likely, especially when I heard the faint sound of a door opening below, followed by the swish of silken skirts. I recalled Mayor Packard's fears and began to suspect that they were not groundless.
I believe that you had something to do with this." "I have brought no groundless charge against any one," said Frank. "Did you make any report to Mr. Hartley in regard to me?"

He whose bright eyes could beam on her so radiantly had just wounded her with angry glances, like a foe or a stern judge, and his indignation had not been groundless. What had life to offer her without his love? The wantonly bold venture had been baffled. Yet no! All was not yet lost! Suppose she should summon courage to steal back to him and on her knees repentantly beseech him to forgive her?
Theodosius, having manned his soul with proper thoughts and reflections, exerted himself on this occasion in the best manner he could to animate his penitent in the course of life she was entering upon, and wear out of her mind those groundless fears and apprehensions which had taken possession of it; concluding with a promise to her, that he would from time to time continue his admonitions when she should have taken upon her the holy veil.

But, mark this, if I succeed in persuading the chieftainess to keep us together, you will have to acknowledge that your fears were groundless. Perhaps it's worth trying on that very account."
We were rather too large a party, for one or two of the visiting fazendeiros came along with their dogs. The other fazendeiros merely feared for their dogs; a groundless fear, I believe, as I do not think that the dogs could by any exertion have been dragged into dangerous proximity with such foes.
