Mary Elizabeth Braddon Quotes
It Is Taken As A Strong Proof Of A Man's Innocence That He Should Look You Full In The Face With A Steadfast Gaze When You Look At Him With Suspicion Plainly Visible In Your Eyes; But Would He Not Be The Poorest Villain If He Shirked That Encounter Of Glances When He Knows Full Surely That He Is In That Moment Put To The Test? It Is Rather Innocence Whose Eyelids Drop When You Peer Too Closely Into Its Eyes, For Innocence Is Appalled By The Stern, Accusing Glances Which It Is Unprepared To Meet. Guilt Stares You Boldly In The Face, For Guilt Is Hardened And Defiant, And Has This One Grand Superiority Over Innocence
That It Is Prepared For The Worst.
