Both Uses of
perfidy
in
Tom Jones, by Henry Fielding
- "And is Mr Jones," answered the maid, "such a perfidy man?"†
Book 6 *perfidy = an act of deliberate betrayal; or such behavior
- When I added to all these the perfidy of my mistress, such was the horror of my mind, that life, instead of being longer desirable, grew the object of my abhorrence; and I could have gladly embraced death as my dearest friend, if it had offered itself to my choice unattended by shame.†
