His long sharp claws were caught in her clothing, he worried them sagaciously a little, then, finding that ineffectual to free them, he commenced licking her bare white arm with his rasping tongue and pouring over her the wide streams of his hot, fetid breath.
"Her hand, sir; the reassurance of her hand in mine under your eyes: after all that I have suffered, I claim it, I think I claim it reasonably, to restore me to confidence." "Quite reasonably; which is not to say, necessarily; but, I will add, justifiably; and it may be, sagaciously, when dealing with the volatile." "And here," said Willoughby, "is my hand." Clara recoiled. He stepped on.
He frowned over it taking the airs of the relative and the counsellor. "Mother didn't say much well about your affair. But Polly says she's never spoken again you since. But I expect you know what she'd be afraid of?" He nodded sagaciously. "I can't imagine," said Laura, instantly. But the stiffening of her slight frame betrayed her.
The plot had been an excellent plot, and was accomplished as successfully as it bad been sagaciously conceived. None but Spaniards had been employed in any part of the affair.

The scheme thus sagaciously conceived, his adversary, with all his efforts, was unable to circumvent. The campaign lasted little more than a month. Twenty-nine times the Prince changed his encampment, and at every remove the Duke was still behind him, as close and seemingly as impalpable as his shadow.
