This will be much more the case when the object lies at a distance for which the eye is not at the time accommodated. And in these circumstances, when we happen to turn our attention to the impression, we easily misapprehend it, and so fall into illusion.
"You misapprehend me, father; you often do," said Angel with a little impatience. "Politically I am sceptical as to the virtue of their being old. Some of the wise even among themselves 'exclaim against their own succession, as Hamlet puts it; but lyrically, dramatically, and even historically, I am tenderly attached to them."
There was a tartness in his tone evoked by the tartness she had used. "If you would do me the honour to listen, you would not misapprehend me. For if unlike you I do not always say precisely what I think, at least I say precisely what I wish to convey. To be ungrateful may be human; but to display it is childish." "I... I don't think I understand." Her brows were knit.
And throwing himself back upon the bed, Crispin sought comfort in sleep. His limbs were heavy and his heart was sick. "You misapprehend me, Sir Crispin," cried the lad, stung almost to shame by Galliard's reproach, and also mayhap into some fear that hereafter he should find little mercy for his own lack of it towards a poor fellow-sinner. "I spoke not as I would judge, but as the Church teaches."
No prince can seriously imagine that the two Houses mean to exact from him a promise that he will put a Veto on laws which they may hereafter think necessary to the wellbeing of the country. Or if any prince should so strangely misapprehend the nature of the contract between him and his subjects, any divine, any lawyer, to whose advice he may have recourse, will set his mind at ease.

"Oh," said I, quickly, "you altogether misapprehend me. I had no reference to the till, but to the bottle." The landlord's brows were instantly unbent, and a broad smile circled over his good-humored face. "Is that all?
The trouble was, that in concentrating his thoughts on the single point he meant to make, he took too much for granted namely, that all his hearers understood sufficiently the character of God, and the sense in which the Bible uses the term "world," not to misapprehend the nature of his "enmity." To seasoned church-goers the sermon was both true and very satisfactory.
"Then, Maxime, she must be" "Well, I tell you you misapprehend her. Miss Brandon" He stopped suddenly, and looking at Daniel with a glance with which a judge examines the features of a criminal, he added in an almost threatening voice, "By telling you what little I know about her, Daniel, I give you the highest proof of confidence which one man can give to another.
Deeling looked doubtfully at the girl who stood still before the desk, silent, but breathing hard. A sullen shade had fallen upon her face. She looked like a creature at bay. "It is concerning-this unfortunate young person." "I can assure you," Brooks said, dipping his pen in the ink, "that no recommendation is necessary. I shall do what I can for her." "You misapprehend me, sir," Mr.
"My lord, I should be very sorry for you to misapprehend me for a moment. It is not my intention, except at the last extremity, to vote at all.
