But it is our own school histories that are my present concern, and I repeat my opinion--or rather my conviction--that the way in which they have concealed the truth from us is worse than silly, it is harmful. I am not going to take up the whole list of their misrepresentations, I will put but one or two questions to you.英文原著 · 《A Straight Deal》
The statement or confession began by boldly avowing the writer's conviction that part of the property which the Count Fabio d'Ascoli had inherited from his ancestors had been obtained by fraud and misrepresentatio n from the Church.

"`Shelldrake,' said he, `I pity you. I always knew your ignorance, but I thought you honest in your human character. I never suspected you of envy and malice.

THIS, AND NOTHING MORE, pp. 201, 202."英文原著 · 《Canterbury Pieces》
