A scornful look came into Railsford's face as he said, "Do you really suppose, Felgate, any good is gained by not telling the truth at once?" "The truth, sir?" said Felgate, firing up as uncandid persons always do when their veracity is questioned. "I don't understand you, sir." "You understand me perfectly," said Railsford. "You know that it is against rules for boys to smoke here."
But these errors," she proceeded, "are my own, and not Henry's, and why should he suffer pain and distress because I have been uncandid to others?"
In this enlightened period, however, for men who would preserve any character, it would be too gross to attack religion itself, and they find they can wound her more deeply and more creditably through the sides of her professors." "I have observed," said I, "that the uncandid censurer always picks out the worst man of a class, and then confidently produces him as being a fair specimen of it."
To this I merely add, it has been crushed. The following sentence applies to that a priori judging and uncandid class of individuals who buy their dinners without tasting all the food there is in the market.
We all know how easy it is to prophesy after the event: but it would be uncandid and untrue to confound this remark with another, cousin-germane to it; to wit: how easy it is to discern of any event, after it has happened, whether or not it were antecedently likely.

"Anything that interests you, my dear, I should like to hear about from the beginning."
Already the South African had begun to rival the American in the popular imagination; as the Boer war fades more and more into the past, the time may come when we shall be confusedly welcomed as Africanders or South Americans. If I were to offer what I have been saying as my opinions, or my conclusions from sufficient observations I should be unfair, if not uncandid.
