I am undeceived in time!
(Northanger Abbey, by Jane Austen)
These false informations, which I afterwards came to the knowledge of by an accident not proper to mention, made the treasurer show his lady for some time an ill countenance, and me a worse; and although he was at last undeceived and reconciled to her, yet I lost all credit with him, and found my interest decline very fast with the emperor himself, who was, indeed, too much governed by that favourite.
(Gulliver's Travels into several remote nations of the world, by Jonathan Swift)
