"Went off fast asleep, sir, as any one would ha' thought," said Peter. "And seeing him like that I thought I'd just go down and fetch myself a cup o' tea; but no sooner was I out o' the room than he must have slipped out and dressed hisself shamming, you know and if I hadn't come back in the nick o' time he'd have been gone."
"Yes, he had been away for two or three days, and came home hungry and sleepy." "Exactly. And you have, therefore, no reason to believe he was shamming slumber." "I believe I am getting very tired of your questions and cross-questions," she said, irritably. "Now, what a pity!" remarked her tormentor; "for I could never tire of your answers.
"It won't do," he repeated. "You are simply shamming this delirium, and you are lessening your chances for life every minute you persist in it. I'm sorry to be hard on you, but I'm going to give you an ultimatum right now. Either you will release Mrs.
He saw he must either cheat Dr. Amboyne, by shamming work, or else must leave Hillsborough. He had the honesty to go to the doctor and say that he had mastered the whole matter, and didn't see his way to take any more wages from a friend. "You mean you have mastered the broad facts." "I have, sir, and they are beyond belief; especially the file-cutters.
Not a penny shall they have if she's alive!" "I saw her dead, sir, with my own eyes." "You're sure she wasn't shamming?" "She couldn't have shammed anything so peaceful." The baronet laughed.

If this be a sound view, similar tendencies should appear in everyday life, the psychotic phenomena being merely the exaggerations of a fundamental type of human and animal behavior. Shamming of death in the face of danger and animal catalepsy come to mind at once, but since we know nothing of the associated affective states we should be chary of using them even as analogies.
"Paradoxical as usual!" and she shrugged her shoulders "Anyway you've chosen a good place to do your shamming in. It's quite lovely up here, much better than the Plaza. I am at the Plaza." "Automobile and all I suppose!" he said, sarcastically "How many servants? how many boxes with how many dresses?" She laughed again. "That's no concern of yours!" she replied "I am my own mistress."
Why should you have to take to gambling, at your time of life? You're not shamming ennui, are you, to imitate your swell acquaintances? Ennui! I could cure their ennui for them, if they'd only come to me!" she added, somewhat scornfully. "A cure for ennui?" he said. "That would be valuable; what is it?"
Having thus successfully extracted the cause of the malady, the artful dancer lies down on a bier, and shamming death is carried to an open place outside the village. Here, being left to himself, he soon comes to life again, and hastens back to claim his reward.
You have besides to drill your men; and you have often to rouse your foe with a ringing slap, if he's a sleepy one or shamming sleepiness. As here, for example: and that of itself devours more minutes than ten.
