"It is my uncle!" cried Popinot. "He has actually come to see me." "An uncle!" said Finot, "and we haven't got a glass!" "The uncle of my friend Popinot is a judge," said Gaudissart to Finot, "and he is not to be hoaxed; he saved my life. Ha! when one gets to the pass where I was, under the scaffold Qou-ick, and good-by to your hair," imitating the fatal knife with voice and gesture.
"Ostrich!" they shouted. "Poor old Bill he thinks it's an ostrich!" "Quite so, sir," I said, pleasantly but firmly, determining not to be hoaxed again. "Don't drivel that way," said the Tuttle person.
At last he said, as he straightened himself up and wiped his brow with his handkerchief, "Do you know, I believe we're hoaxed! I believe that skull was there to fool us!" "Oh, I'll bet it was!" and Dolly's eyes danced as she realised the situation. "Maybe there are other skulls in other places!" "I shouldn't wonder. Let's go and see."
"Hoaxed?" said Miss Maria, with a high staccato note of inquiry. "Yes. Hoaxed. Hoaxed out of our wedding presents by a girl who is not going to have a wedding at all. I miss my brooch. My throat feels naked without it. Last week I had a hoarseness. I attribute it to the loss of the brooch." "I don't miss my lace," said Miss Maria. "I am glad she has it.

How egregiously they had hoaxed him.
He takes from the luminous centre a handful of light, and scatters it broadcast among the drowsy populations of the duller regions. This human pyrotechnic is a scholar without learning, a juggler hoaxed by himself, an unbelieving priest of mysteries and dogmas, which he expounds all the better for his want of faith. Curious being!

Duchesne had not hoaxed them in regard to the quality of See Yup's medicines, they knew that an attack on the unfortunate Chinaman would in either case reveal their secret and expose them to the ridicule of their brother miners. So the matter dropped, and See Yup remained master of the situation. Meantime he was prospering.
"Discharged ill, and nowhere to go, are you?" said her new friend. "Well, come home to my mother's; she will lodge you, and we'll go to work together, when you are quite strong." The girl consented gladly, but found herself conducted to the very lowest part of Woolwich and ushered into a brothel; there was no mother in the case. She was hoaxed, and powerless to resist.
