Elgar glanced at him once or twice, expecting him to speak, but the other was mute. "Your judgment of me," Elgar resumed, "is harsh and unfounded. I don't know how you have formed it. You know nothing of what it means to me to love such a girl as Cecily. Here I have found my rest. It supplies me with no new qualities, but it strengthens those I have.
Every nerve in her body tingled with shame when she thought what a miserable fraud she was; what a mass of pretensions unfounded, of deceit ingrained. She was ready to hide her face in her hands. She was disgusted, outraged with her own image as she saw it, contrasted with Carrington's single word: Perfect! Nor was this the worst. Carrington was not the first man who had thought her perfect.
His is the best philosophy, for though it cannot preclude occasional disappointment, it ensures much happiness, as the indulgence of good feelings invariably does, and he often creates the good qualities he gives credit for, as few persons are so bad as not to wish to justify the favourable opinion entertained of them, as few are so good as to resist the demoralising influence of unfounded suspicions.
To be sure, there seemed to exist these other and sufficient reasons, practical and social, for her decision; but Sue was not a very practical or calculating person; and he was compelled to think that a pique at having his secret sprung upon her had moved her to give way to Phillotson's probable representations, that the best course to prove how unfounded were the suspicions of the school authorities would be to marry him off-hand, as in fulfilment of an ordinary engagement.

For the force came into the city; but no one made a single complaint not even an unfounded complaint against you; so virtuously did you conduct yourselves.

"Upon that point you must pardon me: I do not feel myself called upon, simply for the purpose of clearing myself from unfounded charges, to make disclosures of that nature." "How do you know that the charges against you are unfounded? You have not yet heard them."
I should like to know whether an idea I have is true: Is much, I mean constant, looking down on young people likely to pull one's mind down to their level? 'Likely enough to betray our level, if there 's danger, he murmured. 'Society offers an example that your conjecture is not unfounded, Lady Ormont.
Well, we reply, then the knowership of the Self also is not false; for that also is not sublatcd. But all this is unfounded, since the internal organ is, like the body, non-intelligent, an effect of Prakriti, an object of knowledge, something outward and for the sake of others merely; while being a knowing subject constitutes the special essential nature of intelligent beings.
