Guilt has very quick ears to an accusation.

She racked her brain for words scathing enough to convey her opinion of their actions. When nothing came to her, she settled for the one unanswerable accusation. "Men!"

I can't help the look of accusation in your eyes

Never make a defence or apology before you be accused.

When one person makes an accusation, check to be sure he himself is not the guilty one. Sometimes it is those whose case is weak who make the most clamour

...As in all moral panics, an accusation is enough to destroy a person's life. Hysteria trumps evidence.
