"He stated his case, no, I express myself wrongly; he did not state his case, he understated it; and there are few things more attractive in a man than that he should be inclined to understate rather than overstate his own case." Mr. Brassey was also very brief, and when he went away, Mr.
"I'd appreciate that. You do realize the Empire'll use the truce to regroup and rebuild?" "I certainly hope so; they haven't been doing too well the last several weeks."

Tony glared at the author of his woes, and his two chums made threatening gestures; but, of course, they did not dare place a finger on Ralph at such a time. But, at any rate, Frank had certainly not understated the facts, for Tony was the possessor of a fine black eye.
They were massed, standing among benches on either side, and if anything Pyairr Ravney had understated their numbers.

What we had to cut out of Mongery's report, this morning " "Oh, I've been keeping in touch," Lancedale understated gently. "Well then.
