An impostor! not the real man? The idea was amazing and Mr. Portlethorpe found it amazing, too, and he seconded my exclamation with another, and emphasized it with an incredulous laugh. "My dear madam!" he said deprecatingly. "Really! That's impossible!" But Mr. Lindsey, calmer than ever, nodded his head confidently. "I'm absolutely of Mrs. Ralston's opinion," he declared.
"Do you know what that severity has cost me against my only, my dearly loved child?" "Father!" The word had a shy, hesitating sound, but it was not the old shyness and fear; there lay in it a joyful, almost incredulous astonishment, and Hartmut gazed on his father's face as if he could never take his eyes from it.
"Women usually, at least romantic and incredulous women like me, demand some proof of a lover's devotion," I resumed, as coolly as I could, "before yielding him their faith and fealty; but Mr. Gregory has given me no evidence so far of the sincerity of his passion; I confess I find it difficult, under the circumstances, to believe in its existence."
To be sure, it was filled with Americans, but I was not avoiding them then. I had finished my journeyings. I had got my point of view. I was going HOME! How I wished for poor Bee! How she hated our lodgings! Bee is polite but incredulous.
Incredulous people declare that it is nothing but the screaming of the sea birds, which occasionally resembles bleatings, and occasionally human lamentations; but belated fishermen swear that they have met an old shepherd, whose cloak covered head they can never see, wandering on the sand, between two tides, round the little town placed so far out of the world.

He worked until dark, and when he went home he saw with a great throb of excitement the Lloyd sleigh waiting before his door. Robert had heard from Dennison of Ellen's attitude about the strike. He had been incredulous at first, as indeed he had been incredulous about the strike.
And so I went away, thinking of many things too many and too perplexing, perhaps, for the intellect of a very young man deeply in love a man who knows he is in love, and yet remains incredulous that it is indeed love which so utterly bewilders and afflicts him.
An' phwin 'tis over an' he picks himsilf up out av th' shnow an' wipes th' blood from his eyes her blood f'r he comes out av ut widout scratch nor scar D'ablish lays at his feet dead as a nit." Fallon gazed triumphantly into the incredulous faces of the men, and, with a smile, added, "'Twas thin Oi dhrug her be th' tail to th' sled, afther shmashin' her head wid th' axe to make sure."
Devers stared blankly at the speaker just a moment, half incredulous, half resentful, then at last he realized that it was no pleasantry on the part of his visitor and, for once in his life, collapsed entirely. That night Brannan was released and bidden to go to his troop and be patient.
Where is she?" "Safe in Silverton, I presume," was the reply, and then Mark told his story, to which Wilford listened, half incredulous, half indignant, and a good deal relieved. "You are a splendid fellow, Mark, though I must say you meddled, but I know you did not do it unselfishly. Yes, on the whole, I thank you and Helen, too, for saving me that mortification.
