'Oh, some one who lost her character long ago, and lives, I should say, on charitable people. Just because I said that she must once have had a very nice face, aunt misrepresents me in this way it's too bad. 'Is she an educated person? Miss Barfoot was heard to ask. 'Not precisely well educated. 'Of the lower classes, then? 'I don't like that term, you know. Of the poorer classes.
I will not charge upon Judge Douglas that he willfully misrepresents me, but I call upon every fair-minded man to take those speeches and read them, and I dare him to point out any difference between my speeches north and south. Three judges usually award the decision in a debating contest. Their sole duty is to determine which side had the better of the argument.
The enthusiast misrepresents facts with all the effrontery of an advocate, and confounds right and wrong with all the dexterity of a Jesuit; and all this only in order that some man who has been in his grave during many ages may have a fairer character than he deserves. Middleton's Life of Cicero is a striking instance of the influence of this sort of partiality.
The world always misrepresents the actions of those who are constantly before it." "It is very true," said Paul; "and I have said the same thing myself a hundred times in 'The Asinaeum, for we were never too lavish of our truths in that magnificent journal. 'T is astonishing what a way we made three ideas go." "You remind me of myself and my newspaper labours," rejoined Augustus Tomlinson.

But it appears to me that a little carefuller reasoning from a little closer inspection of the facts would not have brought him to these conclusions.
The intensely stupid or dishonest "labour" press, however, which in the interests of the common enemy misrepresents socialism and seeks to misguide labour in Great Britain, ignores these considerations, and positively holds out this prospect of rising prices as an alarming one to the more credulous and ignorant of its readers. But now comes the second way of meeting the after-the-war obligations.
I need hardly say that I do not admit the fairness of this statement of the case, because some of the premises are untrue, and because it misrepresents the nature of the Irish Government which Mr. Gladstone's Bill would have created. But I am trying to state the case as it was sedulously and skilfully presented to Englishmen.
"It would not matter at all, only, you see, when any one gets into disgrace there is no saying what may happen. An enemy misrepresents some speech, some evil report gets to the ears of the Czar, and the next day papa might be on his way to Siberia," she dropped her voice as she uttered the dreadful word, "and all his estates confiscated."
