Justice, Reader, even for such. Her sordid scheming is but the deformed child of Motherhood. Motherhood! it is the gamut of God's orchestra, savageness and cruelty at the one end, tenderness and self-sacrifice at the other. The sparrow-hawk fights the hen: he seeking food for his brood, she defending hers with her life.
The situation which confronted President Cleveland he thus described in later years: "In numerous instances the post-offices were made headquarters for local party committees and organizations and the centers of partisan scheming.
We could write a column by way of commentary upon this circumstance, but think that the facts in the case speak so plainly for themselves, that not a single remark is needed to give them force. We wish the lady joy at her escape, for the count in disguise is no doubt a scheming villain at heart." Poor Arabella was dreadfully cut down when this notice met her eye.
The news of the King of Navarre's illness had fallen on him, indeed, in the midst of his sanguine scheming with the force of a thunderbolt.
Calmly the scheming villain sat and puffed at his cigar until it was more than half consumed, then he tossed the stump through the open window, and once more he passed into the other car. When he gained the seat he had lately occupied, he could not suppress a cry of startled wonder. He had left Nell Darrel there not more than twenty minutes since, drugged into complete insensibility.
It was Ellaline who suggested that, not I. She thought of everything. Though she's such a child in some ways, she's marvellous at scheming. I really can't think yet what I shall say to her. It's worrying me. I feel guilty, somehow, I don't know why. Mrs. Norton suggested taking me out shopping and sight-seeing this afternoon. Sir Lionel proposed going with us.
The bishop, his son and his scheming chaplain were actors in a comedy of life which in the opinion of the last might easily end up as a tragedy. No wonder their behaviour was constrained, no wonder they avoided one another. They were as men living over a powder magazine which the least spark would explode with thunderous noise and damaging effect.
For the moment, at least, her indomitable spirit was overwhelmed by this crowning misfortune, and she felt all her ambition hopelessly baffled. Through this last catastrophe, her benevolent scheming must be brought to nought.
"Please fill your glasses, ladies and gentlemen, and we will drink the health of our most gracious sovereign," said Mr. Newville. The mother of George III. had plans of her own, and was aided by the Earl of Bute. There were political parties in church and state; scheming bishops and intriguing politicians, each striving for his own advancement, or the advancement of his party.
Ellen gave a faint shudder. What if her father's wicked scheming were to come to such an end as this! what if she had been sold into bondage, and the master to whom she had been given had not even the wealth which had been held before her as a bait in her misery! For herself she cared little whether she were rich or poor.
