"Did you misinterpret the collar? Or the sudden change of fortune in your own family's concerns? Answer me, Agatha, once for all. But you need not answer after all: I know you have never misunderstood me!"
Such knowledge as the public now possesses has come to it, not through newspapers, but by way of gossip.

"I was unhappy because you had forsaken me," he said gently.
Let the vile and wicked watch over my conduct and misinterpret my actions, Rousseau is not a man to be afraid of them, nor is Diderot to be prevailed upon to hearken to what they say.

And he felt that no woman who was not either shabbily perverse, or a fool, could misinterpret her. He knew that his wife had been annoyed at finding Mrs. Dillingham in the house. He dimly comprehended, too, that her presence was an indelicate intrusion, but her intentions were so good! Mrs. Dillingham knew exactly how to manipulate the coarse man at her side, and her relations to him and his wife.
