But Marius, either from sheer perverseness, or because he did not share her enthusiasm, made answer: "I have faith in Gilles." "Yes," she mocked him, "and you had faith in Berthaud.

The obstinate boy took her advice, and shifted the subject, speaking to Tressan of some trivial business connected with the Seneschalship.
Mr Monckton, in whom by long practice, artifice was almost nature, well knowing his wife's perverseness, affected to look much disconcerted at the proposal; while Cecilia, by no means thinking it necessary to extend her compliance to such a punishment, instantly made an apology, and declined the invitation.
