It was a sad blow to them to think that the one great enterprise they had recently engineered a foil to some of the immense affairs which had recently had their genesis in New York and elsewhere should have come to so untimely an end. Chicago finance really should not be put to shame in this fashion if it could be avoided. So that when Mr.
Another similar precipice guards the mouth of the Lycus on its south side and has been engineered with considerable skill, first by the Egyptians and then by the Romans. North of this, at Djouni, the coast road "traverses another pass, where the mountain, descending to the water, has been cut to admit it."
He had engineered this moment carefully; a galling anger rose to meet hers as he felt his labors wasted. "Don't get flighty," he growled. "You knew I'd come, didn't you? Why'd you leave your door unlocked if you didn't expect me?" Lorelei stepped to her dressing-table and pressed the pearl push- button, holding her finger upon it and staring at Hayman. "Oh, ring and be damned!" he cried.
Even her laugh had failed to give her away. She was altogether too near for safety to the point of exhaustion. She had endured her second night without sleep. She had not really eaten an adequate meal since her lunch in town the day Paula had engineered her out of the way for that talk with Maxfield Ware.
He was made the spokesman for a platform which denounced the invasion of Kansas by an armed force in the interests of slavery. He had gone into California for the slavocracy which engineered the Mexican War, as New England contended. Now he was at the head of the party waging war upon that slavocracy. A strange people, these Americans!
And he felt himself to be a poor weak fool to even try to put up a girl's beauty, a girl's love as a barrier to the output of a destroying force engineered by a terrific human intention, it was like the old story of the Scottish heroine who thrust a slender arm through the great staple of a door to hold back the would-be murderers of a King. "Beauty does not move him!" she said. She was right.
There hasn't been a big one on since Debs engineered his and Cleveland called out the troops." "Boy, you wait a few years and you'll see a strike that will paralyse you. Look at these teamsters. They're powerful now. They'll get licked, but they'll come back. When the next big money panic comes it'll be in my day, too you'll see the streets of Chicago running with blood.
But what to think now? That Crane, actuated by some motive occult to Lanyard, had engineered this apparently adventitious rencontre for the purpose of throwing him and the Brooke girl together? Or, again, that Crane was innocent of guile in this matter that other persons unknown, causing Lanyard to be traced to his lodgings, had framed that note to entice him to this place to-night?
Gerard received a very hearty reception, which, however, had certainly been engineered for election purposes, because it is to the interest of the Democratic Administration to extol their ambassador and their foreign policy. Immediately after the reception Gerard breakfasted with House, and there everything was denied that had been actually said or implied. "As I have known Mr. and Mrs.
It is perfectly certain that our friend engineered the whole business up to and including the letter, which was meant for you." "Do you really think that?" said Phil. "I'm as certain of it as I can be of anything that I don't actually know to be true." "Why did he do it?" "Do you feel anything about this, old man?" "I feel in the bluest funk that I can remember." "Then, that's why."
