Parenthetically she reflected that Joe had no tact. Without specifically naming it, Shelby contrived to suggest that she could do him yet greater service by shepherding society at his ratification meeting. "To be significant, that sort of thing should be broadly representative," said he. His words were impersonal, but there was no misreading his look. Mrs.
Were he to accede to such a proposal as Oliver now made him, assuredly he must jeopardize all that. He realized to the full the contemptible quality of his thought and hated himself for conceiving it. But he could not shake off its dominion. It was stronger than his will. His brother observing this hesitation, and misreading it drew him to the fireside and made him sit.
Within a few days he received a letter from his father forwarded to him from the hotel, that was even more unpleasant than the majority of the paternal epistles to which he was accustomed. Mr. Knight, probably from honest conviction and a misreading of the facts of life, was one of those persons who are called Pacifists.
Rachel, misreading his expression, thought that he did not wish to be bothered with household details. She recalled some gratuitous advice half humorously offered to her by a middle-aged lady at her reception, "Never talk servants to your men."

This may be a sad misreading of the history of the last fifty years, and a painfully prejudiced anticipation of the next fifty.
Roosevelt has not himself outgrown these ideas, his misreading of his own work need not be a matter of surprise. It is what one would expect from the prophet of the Strenuous Life. Mr. Roosevelt has done little to encourage candid and consistent thinking.
"But do listen. I'm not blaming any of you," he exclaimed, distracted by her complete misreading of his mood. "Well, you're criticising in your heart. And your opinion's worth something to some of us. Even if we do occasionally play at being in love, there's always the offchance it may turn out to be ... the real thing."

He said nothing, but presently turned his back upon the waves and began to walk on. Neither spoke until they were in the shelter of the streets; then Widdowson asked suddenly, 'Who is that person?
