"Ah, I didn't tell him, sir," she explained, misinterpreting his silence. "I wouldn't have done that. He sore angered me, though he may have meant well. He was set on seeing the child then, but I wouldn't let him. It came over me after he was gone that that, maybe, was what he came for the child. Someone might have put him on to take her from me some society.
Sara gazed at him in silent amazement; the invitation was so totally unexpected that for the moment she had no answer ready. "Unless," he added sneeringly, misinterpreting her silence, "you're afraid of the proprieties?" "I'm far more afraid of taking cold," she replied promptly, preparing to evacuate the summer-house.
"You're too pretty to be so serious all the time," he said. "Sam, I want to help you. Please don't spoil it by misinterpreting my intentions." "You should get a little fun out of life," Collins listened to himself say. He came on around the big table towards her. The first time he hadn't realized what was happening, but this time he knew. Somebody was pulling strings and making him jump.
I wondered whether this rash hare-brained Frenchman would aid or hinder such a purpose; and I glanced aside at him, curious to test the working of his mind in such a time of trial.

Whatever she had done, if she had done anything, it had not hurt him. There was no possibility of misinterpreting the sleeping man's expression. She wished that he would wake, though she knew how the smile would fade, how the features would grow cold and indifferent, and how the grey eyes she loved would open with a look of annoyance at seeing her before him.
In the abstract world of reasoning science there is no green, no colour at all, but certain lengths of vibration; no hardness, but a certain reaction of molecules; no cold and no pain, but certain molecular consequences in the nerves that reach the misinterpreting mind.
In the sympathy and simpleness of this impulse she went as far as to revive the mourning she had worn for her parents, but with such a fatal accenting of her beauty, and dangerous misinterpreting of her condition to eligible bachelors strange to the country, that she was obliged to put it off again.
