To us, that was more or less an admission of guilt.

There was no admission of guilt in making a gesture of that kind. That was a gesture on my behalf because I wasn't happy with what I saw. That was my personal gesture and no admission of guilt.

And then it started, like a guilty thing Upon a fearful summons.

I always take blushing either for a sign of guilt, or of ill breeding.

From the body of one guilty deed a thousand ghostly fears and haunting thoughts proceed.

Suspicion always haunts the guilty mind; the thief doth fear each bush an officer.
