"We must just perjure ourselves all round," he said, "and swear you exorcised it;" but the man was too kind-hearted to be satisfied with that. "It's frightfully serious for you, Mortimer. I can't laugh as I should like to. I wish I saw a way out of it, for your sake. By the way," he added shortly, "didn't you notice that juniper-bush on the left-hand side?"
But I have none! I cannot so perjure myself as to deny one word of the charges brought against me, save that of murder! Of thoughts of hate and wrath, ay, and blood, but such blood as honorable men would shed, I am guilty, I now feel, unredeemably guilty, but not of murder! I am not silent because conscious of enacted guilt.
"The authority of one who has loved her," said Reuben, with a fierce, quick tone, and dashing his half-burnt cigar from the window; "the authority of one who, if he had chosen to perjure himself and profess a faith which he could not entertain, and wear sanctimonious airs, might have won her heart." "I don't believe it!" said Phil, with a great burst of voice.
"Better for him, as for thee, to wed another, Marie! Would'st thou wed the stranger, wert thou free?" She buried her face in his bosom, and murmured, "Never!" "Then in what can this passion end, but in misery for both? In constant temptation to perjure thy soul, in forsaking all for him. And if thou didst, would it bring happiness?
Would she be likely to perjure herself on such a subject? Miss Stisted writes with an unconcealed animus, and is not so much concerned in defending the purity of her uncle's Protestantism as in vilifying her aunt and the faith to which she belonged.
This was hinting that Dick Prescott would be willing to perjure himself, and Dick flushed, though with difficulty he kept his patience. "I'm going to let go of you now, Cartwright," Prescott continued. As Dick let go of the captured wrist Captain Cartwright wheeled and aimed a vicious blow at his brother officer's face. But Prescott's arm thrust up his adversary's. "Stop it, Cartwright!"
I know the cause; poor fellows! perjure yourselves not again; swear not at all hereafter. Ay, these very tars the foremost in denouncing the Navy; who had bound themselves by the most tremendous oaths these very men, not three days after getting ashore, were rolling round the streets in penniless drunkenness; and next day many of them were to be found on board of the guardo or receiving-ship.
"There is one thing in the world," she said in a low tone, "for which I would risk even the abnegation of those claims." "You would perjure your honour?" "Yes if it came to that." Mr. Sabin moved uneasily in his chair. The woman was in earnest. She offered him an invaluable alliance; she could show him the way to hold his own against even the inimical combination by which he was surrounded.
"I never bade you perjure yourself," said Sir Philip sharply, but hiding his face in his hands, and groaning out, "Oh, my son! my son!" Seeing that his distress so overcame poor Anne that she could scarcely contain herself, Dr. Woodford thought it best to take her from the room, promising to come again to her. She could do nothing but lie on her bed and weep in a quiet heart-broken way.
Now you are unknown here, without a single acquaintance to recognize or remember you; why should not you, under another name, come forward with these proofs? By so doing, you secure your own escape and can claim the reward." "What! perjure myself that I may forfeit my inheritance!" "As to the inheritance," said he, sneeringly, "your tenure does not promise a very long enjoyment of it."
