While Black Will and his gang were scheming to get the friends' gold, Robinson, though conscious only of his general danger, grew more and more nervous as the bag grew heavier, and strengthened his defenses every day. This very day one was added to the cause of order in a very characteristic way. I must first observe that Mr.
The knowledge that she was scheming to rush him blindfold into the irrevocable weakened everything weakened the sincerity of pique, and the sincerity of passion; even her kisses had not the lure she wished for them. That stormy little meeting ended inconclusively. "Will you some tea, gnadiges Fraulein?" Pushing Jon from her, she cried out: "No-no, thank you! I'm just going."
'You are not going to take her side, a scheming red-faced hussy, Mr. Graham? 'I never betrayed a client, Madam, and if you mean that I am likely to help this person into your uncle's arms, you greatly misconceive me, and the nature of my profession. 'I beg your pardon, sir, but I will say that your heart does not seem to be in the case.
But Harry was too quick for his would-be captor; he sprang back a single pace, thus just eluding the grip of the priest, and at the same time lunged at him with the copper sword which he held, driving it straight through the man's scheming, treacherous heart.
Cliff, he might have to wait a long, long time; during which his intended victim would probably grow so wrinkled and old that even the most debased of fortune-hunters would refuse to have her. Then, of course, the fine gentleman would find out that he had lost all the time he had spent scheming here in Plainton. The Buskirks were spending this winter in their country home, and one afternoon Mr.
Old she was not; but her peculiar graces of person, her rotund form, her badly-made front of flaxen curls, which was rarely in its place, made her appear so. A bold, scheming, unscrupulous, vulgar-minded woman, who had never considered other people's feelings in her life, whether equals or inferiors.
The taste of the Intendant in a German town, or that of the ladies of his family, may be on such a level that the public of the town, over the operatic arrangement of which he presides, may very well be compelled to hear endless repetitions of flashy operas that have long passed out of every respectable repertory; and in other countries the Government official within whose jurisdiction the opera falls may, and very often does, enforce the engagement of some musically incompetent prima donna in whom he, or some scheming friend, takes a particular interest.
All this had an ominous look, because the woman was ambitious and scheming, besides being in love with Sedgwick, who was something of an adventurer. She would no doubt seize upon any opportunity of securing his promotion. Margaret's Keith's suspicions were justified, for Mrs. Chudleigh was then cleverly clearing the ground for future action.
And we are going to start from to-night?" "I haven't rented a room at Masuya yet, so can't start it to-night." "Then when?" "Will start before long. I'll let you know, and want you help me." "Right-O. I will help you any time. I am not much myself at scheming, but I am IT when it comes to fighting."
I have told of childless Marion, of my childless aunt, of Beatrice wasted and wasteful and futile. What hope is there for a people whose women become fruitless? I think of all the energy I have given to vain things. I think of my industrious scheming with my uncle, of Crest Hill's vast cessation, of his resonant strenuous career. Ten thousand men have envied him and wished to live as he lived.
