但从另一方面来说，如果一个医生为了避免家属的恐惧而隐瞒病人身体状况的事情，或是一个警察经常为了避免群众恐慌而隐瞒事实，那么这种谎言就是“高贵的谎言”。

他们重新奴役看你们——可并不是坦率地奴役，像那些真诚的高贵的、用右手的高压统治你们的人，而是像蜘蛛一样用阴谋、谎言和甜言蜜语阴险地统治你们的人。
And they enslaved you over again - but not frankly, as the true, noble men would do with weight of their own right arms, but secretly, by spidery machinations and by wheedling and cajolery and lies.
