You flattered yourself that at one stroke you were establishing justice in your own country and in the universe. You were a brave man, an honest idealist, though without much experimental philosophy. But go home to your own heart and you will recognise that you had in you a spice of malice and that our ingenuousness was not without cunning. You believed you were performing a fine moral action.
Waverley, lays it open to the plans of the more designing and artful; and one of your friends at least I mean Mac-Ivor of Glennaquoich ranks high in the latter class, as, from your apparent ingenuousness, youth, and unacquaintance with the manners of the Highlands, I should be disposed to place you among the former.
Clubbe was looking straight in front of him. He turned in his disconcerting, monumental way and looked at his questioner, who had imitated with a perfect ingenuousness his own brief pause before the word mother. Colville smiled pleasantly at him. "I tell you frankly, Captain," he said, "it would suit me better if she wasn't the mother."
Look, all the cuff of your right sleeve is covered with blood.” “Yes, it’s all bloody,” observed Mitya, looking at the cuff of his shirt. “Then change your shirt.” “I haven’t time. You see I’ll ...” Mitya went on with the same confiding ingenuousness, drying his face and hands on the towel, and putting on his coat. “I’ll turn it up at the wrist. It won’t be seen under the coat.... You see!”
He accepted Thorpe for what he thought him to be, rather than for what he might think him to be. Thus he reposed unbounded confidence in him. After a while, observing the absolute ingenuousness of the boy, Thorpe used to take him from time to time on some of his daily trips to the pines. Necessarily he explained partially his position and the need of secrecy.
For she was a pretty little woman, one of the prize gifts of the present education of women to the men who are for having them quiescent domestic patterns; and her artificial ingenuousness or candid frivolities came to her by nature to kindle the nature of the gentleman on the other bank of the stream, and witch him to the plunge, so greatly mutually regretted after taken: an old duet to the moon.
"Nothing to forgive if you were only amusing yourself much to forgive if you really care" His ingenuousness was alarming. "Par exemple!" She bantered him. "You mean that I that I love you?" "Yes, I mean just that." She took quick refuge in laughter. "You are the most surprising creature! Much as I esteem, I cannot flatter you so much as that." And she drew away from him, still laughing softly.
Did you kill him, Simon?" "No, I didn't kill him," Simon sneered. "Wake up a little more, Duchaine. Do you know what happens now he is dead?" "I expect you to get some more money, Simon," answered the old man with an ingenuousness that made the reply more stinging than any intended irony. Leroux burst into a mirthless laugh. "You are quite right, Duchaine," he answered.
That evening at dinner, feeling that he was with friends who cared for him, Barthes proved extremely gay, and showed all his ingenuousness in talking of his ideal, which would soon be realised, said he, in spite of everything. He could tell a story well whenever he cared to chat, and on that occasion he related some delightful anecdotes about the prisons through which he had passed.
She did not strike at first sight; but soon a penetrating and indefinable charm arose from her whole person; and one knew not which to admire most, the exquisite perfections of her figure, the divine roundness of her neck, her aerial carriage, or the placid ingenuousness of her attitudes.
