She knew nothing of his repentance and confession; she only knew he had abused her confidence, led Laura to act insincerely, and been the cause of Guy's death. She did not know how bitterly he accused himself, and though she could not but see he was miserable, she could by no means fathom his wretchedness, nor guess that her very presence made him conscious how far he was fallen.
But this first sensation of strangeness over, he had found her more charming, more desirable, than even he had hoped; and what almost wrung a cry of pleasure from him as he remembered it, was that not the smallest trifle no touch of coquetry, no insincerely spoken word had marred the perfect impression of the whole.
Many worthy golfers, for instance, who do not know that they are speaking insincerely, attribute, in conversation, the pleasure they feel in pursuing their game to the agreeable surroundings in which it is pursued; but my secret belief is that they pay more attention to the lie of the little white ball, and the character of bunkers, than to the pageantry of sea and sky.
"But I don't suppose I've had more than you've had," Evelyn laughed rather insincerely. "I've never had one." "But you will lots it's the easiest thing in the world But that's not what's happened this afternoon exactly. It's Oh, it's a muddle, a detestable, horrible, disgusting muddle!" She went to the wash-stand and began sponging her cheeks with cold water; for they were burning hot.
Of course, a sense of social decency will prevent you from spending more than a small sum, and I shall be spared all exertion beyond signing a cheque. Yours insincerely and loggishly *." So managed, the contrivance of present-giving becomes positively sinister in its working.

"Of course, I don't know as it's so awful good," Florence admitted insincerely. "The family all seem to think it's something pretty much; but I don't know if it is or not. Really, I don't!"
"The well's never missed," said one old woman, "till it's dry," and she only said what everyone else felt. Ernest knew that the general regret was unaffected as for a loss which could not be easily repaired. He felt that there were only three people in the world who joined insincerely in the tribute of applause, and these were the very three who could least show their want of sympathy.
Kenby says; he's been there often. Mr. Burnamy is to get our rooms." "I don't suppose I can get papa to go," said Miss Triscoe, so insincerely that Mrs. March was sure she had talked over the different routes; to Carlsbad with Burnamy probably on the way from Cuxhaven.

People talk a great deal, and a good deal of it very insincerely, about their admiration for these precepts gathered together in this chapter.
