Doublet of trust (which see).

      If someone trusts you, what is lost if you betray that trust? As Scarlett is tempted to see it, sometimes nothing at all. If her husband remains ignorant of her tryst, then his trust in her will remain intact. ‘No one gets hurt’ runs her reasoning, so why not go ahead?
  2. (obsolete) A mutual agreement, a covenant.
  3. (Scotland, historical) A market fair, especially a recurring one held on a schedule, where livestock sales took place.
