Morning or evening? Before the music or after?" "After it was about twelve o'clock." "Ah! Well, if it was Rogojin but do you know what she writes to me about?" "I should not be surprised by anything. She is mad!" "There are the letters." She well, she is clever, though she may be mad much cleverer than I am, as you say.
Why didn't you choose Dom? You know well enough that he's fifty times cleverer than Joe, and even in the matter of strength, though he's not so strong, I'm very sure that with his pugilistic powers he could keep order quite as well. Besides, all the people had made up their minds, as a matter of course, that Dom was to be premier, and then he's a gentleman."
"How would you define them? Those who don't fit in with your ideas of the normal?" Clarke sneered. "I know a clean, straight man when I meet him, and that's enough for me," Harding retorted. "I imagine that cleverer people are now and then deceived," said Clarke, moving away as he spoke. "That's a man I want to keep clear of," Harding declared.
Look me in the face, Agnes." Agnes looked up with her melting, loving eyes. "I said that somehow or other I loved you, and I did not love the others." "Ah! there you struck the nail on the head," said Irene. "Look here, Agnes; if anything happened to divide us I'd get worse than ever; because, you see, I am cleverer than I used to be."

He is cleverer and more ambitious than I could have hoped; he will be a minister some day, in right of his talents, and a peer, if he wishes it, in right of his lands. So that matter is settled." There was a pause, during which my mind passed rapidly through links of reminiscence and reasoning, which led me to a mingled sentiment of admiration for Mrs.
Artie's a cleverer fellow than his old father had more education, and so on; and I'm fond of him, very fond of him; but his logical faculty isn't quite straight, somehow: he lets his feelings have too much weight and prominence against his calmer reason! I can easily understand how, with his tastes and leanings, the clericals should have managed to get a hold over him.
"Even so. I see that thou art a clever lad. Much cleverer than thy years warrant. And I warn thee, speak to no one of what I have said to thee, or it may be worse for thee. But tell me plainly, since we have gone so far, knowest thou the whereabouts of the key?" "Nay," answered Hugo. "I know not. I have never before thought of the postern and its key." The traitor's frowning face cleared.
He had loved Mary dearly since she was almost a child; but she, poor pretty fool, used to turn him to ridicule, and make him fetch and carry for her like a dog. He was handsomer, cleverer, stronger, and better tempered than George Hawker, and yet she had no eyes for him, or his good qualities. She liked him in a sort of way; nay, it might even be said that she was fond of him.
The swiftest messengers were sent hurrying to fetch the best doctors from every country under the sea, but it was all of no use; the queen grew rapidly worse instead of better. Everyone had almost given up hope, when one day a doctor arrived who was cleverer than the rest, and said that the only thing that would cure her was the liver of an ape.
