1 The veil fell from his hardness and despotism.
2 He did not leave the stile, and I hardly liked to ask to go by.
3 I had hardly ever seen a handsome youth; never in my life spoken to one.
4 I walked on so fast that even he could hardly have overtaken me had he tried.
5 I could hardly tell how men and women in extremities of destitution proceeded.
6 He looked at me when I said this; he had hardly turned his eyes in my direction before.
7 The doctor says she may linger a week or two yet; but he hardly thinks she will finally recover.
8 When I remembered how far I had once been admitted to his confidence, I could hardly comprehend his present frigidity.
9 I have watched you this half hour from the window; you must forgive my being such a spy, but for a long time I have fancied I hardly know what.
10 I had thought he would hardly speak to me, and I was certain he had given up the pursuit of his matrimonial scheme: the sequel showed I was mistaken on both points.
11 I hardly know whether I had slept or not after this musing; at any rate, I started wide awake on hearing a vague murmur, peculiar and lugubrious, which sounded, I thought, just above me.

15 My reflections were too undefined and fragmentary to merit record: I hardly yet knew where I was; Gateshead and my past life seemed floated away to an immeasurable distance; the present was vague and strange, and of the future I could form no conjecture.
16 I hardly know where I found the hardihood thus to open a conversation with a stranger; the step was contrary to my nature and habits: but I think her occupation touched a chord of sympathy somewhere; for I too liked reading, though of a frivolous and childish kind; I could not digest or comprehend the serious or substantial.
17 When we went in, and I had removed her bonnet and coat, I took her on my knee; kept her there an hour, allowing her to prattle as she liked: not rebuking even some little freedoms and trivialities into which she was apt to stray when much noticed, and which betrayed in her a superficiality of character, inherited probably from her mother, hardly congenial to an English mind.
