'It is the first of the fold, said Justus, and Lotta caught up the screaming morsel to her bosom and hushed it craftily; while, as a wolf hangs in the field, Matui, who had borne it and in accordance with the law of her tribe had exposed it to die, panted weary and footsore in the bamboo-brake, watching the house with hungry mother-eyes. What would the omnipotent Assistant Collector do?
As a means also of inflaming both the poor whites and Southern slave-holders by arousing the apprehensions of the latter concerning the "peculiar institution" of Slavery, they craftily declared that "If the maxim advanced by the advocates of the protecting duty system will justify Congress in assuming, or rather in empowering a few capitalists to assume, the direction of manufacturing labor, it also invests that body with a power of legislating for the direction of every other species of labor and assigning all occupations whatsoever to the care of the intelligence of mercenary combinations" and hence untold misery to labor.
HOMEWARE appears; he craftily avoids joining their party, like one who is unworthy of such noble oratory. ARDEN: A glorious morning, sir. HOMEWARE: The sun is out, sir. ARDEN: I am happy in meeting you, Mr. Homeware. HOMEWARE: I can direct you to the ladies, Mr. Arden. You will find them up yonder avenue. ARDEN: They are listening, I believe, to an oration from the mouth of Professor Spiral.
"But I saw his thought when he asked about the ship, for he was minded to break it, and take from us all hope of flight. Therefore I answered him craftily: "Ship have we none, for that which was ours King Poseidon brake, driving it on a jutting rock on this coast, and we whom thou seest are all that are escaped from the waves."
Early in this century, when I again had news of him, he had craftily cut in between the Italian, Abyssinian and British converging columns and annihilated Colonel Plunkett's gallant little band at Gumburu, but sustained a severe defeat at Jidballi, where his red flannel dressing-gown was sighted in early and headlong retirement as his dervishes recoiled from the embattled square.
Craftily Almo caught it against his shield, just below the upper rim, horribly it grated against the bronze plating of the shield, with the full weight of the mighty swing it buried itself in the sod. The force of his blow carried the assailant with it so that he almost fell face forward on the sward. Before he could recover himself Almo's ready axe swung. Brinnaria saw it flash in the air.
Nobody could now buy a pound of tea, without paying a tax to King George. This scheme was pretty craftily contrived; for the women of America were very fond of tea, and did not like to give up the use of it. But the people were as much opposed to this new act of Parliament, as they had been to the Stamp Act. England, however, was determined that they should submit.
"Oh! nothing very tangible," said la Peyrade; "but ever since that Countess Torna has had a footing in your house " "My poor boy, the countess has done me many services, and I am very grateful to her; but is that any reason why I should be false to you, who have done us still greater services?" "But you must admit," said la Peyrade, craftily, "that she has told you a great deal of harm of me."
Koogah asked, tripping craftily over the strange word. "The wind," was the impatient response. "Then the wind made the sch sch schooner go against the wind." Old Koogah dropped an open leer to Opee-Kwan, and, the laughter growing around him, continued: "The wind blows from the south and blows the schooner south. The wind blows against the wind.
When the committees discovered the mysteries of the Mother of God, and her predictions, they believed or pretended to believe, that Robespierre made use of her instrumentality to gain over the fanatics, or to announce his elevation. They altered her name of Theot into that of Theos, signifying God; and they craftily insinuated that Robespierre was the Messiah she announced.
