I can't mention them all, but perhaps some event in your past may give you a clew. Have you ever heard of a person, by name Pauline Potter?" The young man starts. "Ah! I see you have," pursues Philander, dryly. "I confess it; she was a pretty actress, but my boyish passion for her died out when I discovered her perfidy." "Very true; but she has never forgiven you. What harm did you do her, boy?"
And yet and yet was it the truest friendship the most prudent course to prolong the ignorance which left him liable at any moment to be shocked into the perpetration of some desperate deed by the discovery, through some other channel, of his wife's perfidy, and the abominable snare that bad been woven about him!
But Edward III. had openly resumed his hostile attitude; and he demanded that Aquitaine and the courtship of Ponthieu, detached from the kingdom of France, should be ceded to him in full sovereignty, and that Brittany should become all but independent. And it recommenced accordingly, and the King of Navarre resumed his course of perfidy.
That to accuse him of scheming for my inheritance would gain me nothing in Mr. Washington's esteem. And I caught myself before I had said aught of Mr. Allen's conduct that evening. "Have you confronted this rector with his perfidy, Richard?" he asked. "I have, colonel, at my first opportunity."

The square Genoese fort near the harbour commemorates the extinction of the liberty of San Remo in 1729.
Indeed the adage saith, "Faith is fair and perfidy foul."

He had ceased to show his diminished head on the streets of Jordantown. He had been sober for two months, spending all of his time attending to his farm.
Can we forget that, in the ten years in which that power has subsisted, it has brought more misery on surrounding nations, and produced more acts of aggression, cruelty, perfidy, and enormous ambition, than can be traced in the history of France for the centuries which have elapsed since the foundation of its monarchy, including all the wars which, in the course of that period, have been waged by any of those sovereigns whose projects of aggrandizement, and violations of treaty, afford a constant theme of general reproach against the ancient government of France?
