Mockery - Ch.8
Ch.8
90
My father and the rest of
the family being obliged to attend as witnesses, I accompa-
nied them to the court. During the whole of this wretched
mockery of justice I suffered living torture.
Mocking someone for doing something
teasing and contemptuous language or behaviour directed at a particular person or thing.

Ignominious
ch.8
90
It was to be de-
decided whether the result of my curiosity and lawless devices
would cause the death of two of my fellow beings: one a
smiling babe full of innocence and joy, the other far more
dreadfully murdered, with every aggravation of infamy
that could make the murder memorable in horror. Justine
also was a girl of merit and possessed qualities which prom-
used to render her life happy; now all was to be obliterated
in an ignominious grave, and I the cause! A thousand times
rather would I have confessed myself guilty of the crime as-
cribed to Justine, but I was absent when it was committed,
and such a declaration would have been considered as the
ravings of a madman and would not have exculpated her
who suffered through me.
I have no idea
deserving or causing public disgrace or shame.
They Ignominious me in the town square where everyone could see.
Exculpate

Countenance
ch.8
88
I saw unhappinessdeeply impressed on his countenance, but he endeavoured
to welcome me cheerfully; and, after we had exchanged
our mournful greeting, would have introduced some other
topic than that of our disaster, had not Ernest exclaimed,
‘Good God, papa! Victor says that he knows who was the
murderer of poor William.’
I have no idea
a person's face or facial expression.
He sat there with Countenance on his face
Indignation
ch.8

The picture was
then produced which the servant had found in her pocket; and when Elizabeth, in a faltering voice, proved that it wast he same which, an hour before the child had been missed,she had placed round his neck, a murmur of horror and indignation filled the court.

He was Indignation with his mum.
Conjecture
ch.8
93
Concerning the picture she could give no account.
I know,’ continued the unhappy victim, ‘how heavily
and fatally this one circumstance weighs against me, but I have no power of explaining it; and when I have expressed my utter ignorance, I am only left to conjecture concern-
ing the probabilities by which it might have been placed in
my pocket.
I have no idea
an opinion or conclusion formed on the basis of incomplete information
We have come to a Conjecture.
Wantonly

no enemy on earth, and none surely would have been so
wicked as to destroy me wantonly.
With out mercy

Approbation
ch.8
94
A murmur of approbation followed Elizabeth’s simple
and powerful appeal, but it was excited by her generous interference, and not in favour of poor Justine, on whom
the public indignation was turned with renewed violence,
charging her with the blackest ingratitude. She

I have no idea
approval or praise.
I give you my Approbation to marry my duather
Guile
ch.8
96
‘Alas!’ said she.
‘How shall I ever again believe in human goodness? Justine,
whom I loved and esteemed as my sister, how could she put on those smiles of innocence only to betray? Her mild eyes
seemed incapable of any severity or guile, and yet she has
committed a murder.’
Soon after we heard that
Anything bad
sly or cunning intelligence.

How could she be so Guile.
Absolution
ch.8
97
I confessed, that I might obtain absolution; but now that falsehood lies heavi-
er at my heart than all my other sins.
I have no idea
formal release from guilt, obligation, or punishment.
You are now Absolution
