"He could not look upon this girl and hear her voice and believe that she was not at heart as sound and sweet, tender and loyal, as any that any breathed." (from The Lone Wolf, by Louis Joseph Vance)
This is really an absurd statement, when you consider it. The Lone Wolf made his living by deceiving people, and for him to say that about a girl was tantamount to denying his own character. Of course, she is the heroine, so it turns out that his instincts were correct; but it is amazing that anyone like he would have had such instincts.
