I never make the mistake of underestimating an opponent's wit, and whilst acting on the assumption that the scarred man knew me to be forcing his hand, I recognized that whether he believed me to be drunk or sober, Gaston Mas or another, his line of conduct must be the same. He must take it for granted that I actually designed to lodge my notes with Dr. Stuart and endeavour to prevent me doing so.
Were it left to me, I should do away with Wordsworth, substituting, possibly, Swinburne. I have sometimes wondered if we weren't underestimating the potential strength of the Freshman's mind by feeding him on too much pap. By the same token I am inclined to think that I should drop Carlyle and Hawthorne for Matthew Arnold and, perhaps, Cardinal Newman." This last was said directly to Dawson.
The strong man exercised a fascination over both youths, but the duke did not turn this admiration into real friendship, underestimating the character of his protégé. His measures, too, were taken without the slightest consideration for local feeling.

In Landover's case, he made the fatal error of underestimating the craftiness of Manuel Crust; he looked upon him as a blatant, ignorant ruffian of the stripe best known to him as a "beer saloon politician," and known only by hearsay, at that.
I know it just as well as you do. It's too sad for words." "You persist in underestimating your abilities, Gladys," said Fillmore reproachfully. "I have had a certain amount of experience in theatrical matters I have seen a good deal of acting and I assure you that as a character-actress you..." Miss Winch rose swiftly from her seat, kissed Fillmore energetically, and sat down again.
"Or as a wooden automaton, jumping at the end of a special wire from 'our correspondent. Ban, can you see Marrineal's hand on a wire?" "If it's plain enough to be visible, I'm underestimating his tact. I'd like to have a lock of his hair to dream on to-night. I'm off to think things over, Pop. Good-night."
It is difficult entirely to approve this refusal to concentrate upon a part of the enemy's order, an advantage to which Nelson was fully alive, but it was probably due to underestimating the value of the Danish gunnery, knowing as he did how long they had been at peace.
