Hearten your friends, and frighten your enemies there is no other way of scoring in politics and the particular score doesn't matter. Now don't look at me as if you would like to impeach me! or I shall turn the tables. I am still fighting for my illusions in my own way you, it seems, have given up yours!" But for once he had underrated her sense of humour.
The Americans she met delighted in drawing her out it was a pastime that took the lead at dinner-parties, to an extent which her hostess often thought preposterous and she responded with naivete and vigour, perfectly aware that she was scoring all along the line.
Light steel caps with cheeks, gorgets, shoulder and arm pieces, and padded leathern jerkins were put on; and then, with blunted swords, they took their places facing each other. The squire took up a position of easy confidence. He was a good swordsman, and good-naturedly determined to treat the lad easily, and to play with him for a time before scoring his first hit.
As soon as a fish is caught all must stop until the signal to begin again is given. Everyone tries to catch the fishes marked ten, but sometimes it is wiser to catch as many ordinary ones as a person can, thus making more points. The player scoring most points is victor. Provide each player with pencil and paper. The first thing to write on the paper is an adjective which applies to a man.
A remarkable last-wicket partnership now took place, remarkable not so much for tall scoring as for the fact that one of the partners did not receive a single ball from beginning to end of it, with the exception of the one that bowled him. Fenn seemed to be able to do what he pleased with the bowling.

I can see him rushing the ball, scoring touchdowns, making holes in the line, doing everything that a great player could do, and urging on his team mates: "Harder, Yale; hard, harder, Yale."
Moreover which settled the point he was getting tired of sticking to one thing for a time unusually long with him. But he would not throw away the chance of scoring a huge debt of gratitude.

He, probably, took some malicious pleasure in scoring up the delinquencies of his staff, mentally consigning the underliners, most likely, to irretrievable ruin, both in this world and the next! I, as I've already said, was an exception to this rule. I must explain, however, that my good hours did not proceed from any intense wish on my part to ingratiate myself with the chief.
She's getting quite deformed by the life she leads. Do you see her earrings? She's wearing those big drops of hers, isn't she? It makes one feel ashamed to see a girl like that with brilliants." All complaisance, Augustine echoed her mistress's words. When either of them was able to display a new ornament it was like scoring a victory the other one almost choked with spleen.
Can't you manage to keep Fenn from scoring odd figures off the last ball of your over? If only that kid at the other end would get some of the bowling, we should do it." "I'll try," said Kennedy, and walked back to begin his over. Fenn reached his fifty off the third ball. Seventy went up on the board. Ten more and Kay's would have the cup. The fourth ball was too good to hit. Fenn let it pass.
