At the same time I must confess a conviction which has more and more grown upon me, that the popular view regarding the power, vigor, and foresight of Russian statesmen is ill-founded.
All objections against it in this respect were ill-founded. It was as healthy as the Newfoundland and many other trades. The debate having closed, during which nothing more was done than filling up the blanks with the time when the bill was to begin to operate, the commitee was adjourned.
The Turkish Commander-in-Chief, the brutal, the all-powerful and unscrupulous Jamál Páshá, an inveterate enemy of the Faith, through his own ill-founded suspicions and the instigation of its enemies, had already grievously afflicted ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, and even expressed his intention of crucifying Him and of razing to the ground the Tomb of Bahá’u’lláh. ‘Abdu’l-Bahá Himself still suffered from the ill-health and exhaustion brought on by the fatigues of His three-year journeys.
But my fears were this time ill-founded; I passed the day without experiencing anything of the kind I dreaded. "I took the precaution to half empty the carafe, in order that my suspicions might not be noticed.

It is therefore better to carry on an easy and civil conversation.
There came to her the idea, by no means ill-founded, that by flattery one can most readily render oneself agreeable; so conscientiously she set to work to flatter in season and out. I am sure she meant to give pleasure, but the effect produced was that of thinly veiled sarcasm. My father would relate to us some trifling story, some incident noticed during the day that had seemed to him amusing.
