Guy went every morning to the salle d'armes, for his wound being on his left shoulder he was able to use his sword arm as soon as it began to heal. "You underrated your skill," the fencing-master said when he had given him his first lesson. "It is true that you do not know the niceties of sword- playing, but indeed you are so quick of eye and wrist that you can afford to do without them.
The fact itself did not surprise him. Woman is more exalted than man in morality. There is no virtue, no devotion, no heroism in which she does not surpass him; but once impelled to the verge of the abyss, she falls faster and lower than man. This is attributable to two causes: she has more passion, and she has no honor. For honor is a reality and must not be underrated.
"There is a good deal, if not of bitterness, of very real disappointment, and some depression." "Which will be all gone long before the curtain goes up for the next performance." "Ah, yes, to be sure; but nevertheless you underrate the disappointments of youth, because they are not tragic you think they are not bitter, you have always underrated them."
In the Hogen struggle, Yoshitomo, the Minamoto chief, an able captain and a brave soldier, had suggested the strategy which secured victory for Go-Shirakawa's forces.

"I see once more that you're a master of words, Mr. Lennox. You play with them as the wind sports among the leaves." "But I don't speak in jest, Monsieur de St. Luc. I'm not in command here.
But Tyope, cunning as he was, had underrated the firmness and perspicacity of Topanashka as much as he had overrated the abilities of Hoshkanyi. As soon as the latter saw the rigidity of his colleague in a matter of duty, he felt completely at sea; he lost sight of everything that Tyope had recommended, tumbled from one mistake to another, and finally exposed himself to grave suspicions.
I expected from this that he would wait to see if I could keep on my legs at starting, and that, if he found I succeeded pretty well, he would then help me forward if it lay in his power. As events turned out, he proved to be a far better friend than that, and he soon showed me that I had very much underrated the hearty and generous interest which he had felt in my welfare from the first.
But during the last few months a teacher Myra Craig had been coming to the printery to have some work done for the school. She had strangely affected Joe sprung an electricity on him that troubled him profoundly. He could not forget her, nor wipe her image from his brain, nor rid his ears of the echoes of her voice. He went about feeling that possibly he had underrated poetry and music.
I had compounded the medicine which had done her good I had warned her of her danger from Sir Percival. Perhaps I trusted too implicitly to these titles perhaps I underrated the keenness of the lower instincts in persons of weak intellect it is certain that I neglected to prepare her sufficiently for a disappointment on entering my house.
