He plays a number of parts disguised, transformed into them as much as he can 'by his so potent art, and he should not disturb this borrowed impression by unmasking before company more than he can help. Let him go into the pit, if he pleases, to see not into the first circle, to be seen.
The unmasking of a deception made even truth suspicious to him, because he had unfortunately discovered truth by false reasoning. "This imaginary triumph pleased him in proportion to the magnitude of the oppression from which it seemed to deliver him. From this instant there arose in his mind a scepticism which did not spare even the most sacred objects.
The circumstances leading to the unmasking of Canalis' selfish character and to Modeste's marriage with La Briere are handled in a less Balzacian way than the introductory chapters, which, however, are more than usually tortuous.
In pantomime she gestured that he might try to make her. Val decided that he should have known the result of his efforts. Ricky was a Ralestone, too. And short of throwing her off the platform and so unmasking themselves completely, he could not move her against her will. "No," she whispered. "They're planning trouble for Jeems. He'll probably need us."
He grinned approval of his own wisdom. "Now don't talk, sir. Might chance to cut you."

The Prussians are unmasking fresh batteries every day, and approaching nearer and nearer to the forts. Their fire now extends from behind Le Bourget to the Marne, and at some points reaches to within a mile of the ramparts. Bondy is little more than a heap of ruins. As for the forts, we are told that, with the exception of their barracks having been made untenable, no harm has been done.
