correct

“To give you pleasure, my sweet Renée, I promise to show all the lenity in my power; but if the charges brought against this Bonapartist hero prove correct, why, then, you really must give me leave to order his head to be cut off.”

“Why, if my information prove correct, a sort of Bonapartist conspiracy has just been discovered.”

When I went into this case with you I bargained, as you will no doubt remember, that I should not present you with half-proved theories, but that I should retain and work out my own ideas until I had satisfied myself that they were correct.

If my view of the case is correct, and I have every reason to believe that it is, this man would rather risk anything than lose the ring.
