"Don't look like that," cried Carrbroke, laughing. "I said smuggle; I didn't say steal. I thought you might feel as if you'd like to have one of these charms which hold such magic power." "I am not afraid of being poisoned," said Denis huskily. "Here, come away from this; show me something else." "Oh, haven't you seen enough? But I say, is this better or worse than Fontainebleau?"
He asked questions about the way in which the mother intended to smuggle the literature into the factory, and she marveled at his clear knowledge of all the details. Then they returned to reminiscences of their native village. He joked, and her mind roved thoughtfully through her past.
He'll be mindprobed to learn his accomplices and how he managed to smuggle even an old-style gun into the Palace. What he did's on record, on Security monitor tapes and probably the newscasters' gear as well. He'll be shot." The Major paused, then smiled. "I never thought I'd say this to a Traiti, Lieutenant Hovan, but well done. I could wish you were in my command." "I thank you, Major.
This point, therefore, I considered as sufficiently settled. I chuckled excessively when I thought of my acumen. It was the first time I had ever known Wyatt to keep from me any of his artistical secrets; but here he evidently intended to steal a march upon me, and smuggle a fine picture to New York, under my very nose; expecting me to know nothing of the matter.
"Well, then," said Oswald, "I think we might be smugglers." "We've played all those things so jolly often," said Dicky. "But I don't mean play," said Oswald. "I mean the real thing. Of course we should have to begin in quite a small way. But we should get on in time. And we might make quite a lot for poor Miss Sandal." "Things that you smuggle are expensive," said Dicky.
The South Sea Company was formed to carry on a vast trade with South America. One ship a year could, of course, carry little, but the ships laden with negroes could smuggle into the colonies merchandise and the one trading ship could be and was reloaded fraudulently from lighters so that its cargo was multiplied manyfold.
I blush to own I had been knave and fool enough to suggest that he should smuggle me into the pavilion; but perhaps the only laws of man that Raffles really respected were those of the M.C.C., and it was in Block B. that he joined me a minute or so before eleven. The sun was as strong and the sky as blue as though the disastrous day before had been just such another.
And now she would have thanked him for having saved her, but he cut her short almost roughly. "You owe me no thanks," he said. "I have but done for you what my manhood must have bidden me do for any woman similarly situated. For to-night I have saved you, Citoyenne. I shall make an effort to smuggle you and your mother out of Boisvert before morning, but after that you must help yourselves."
If they try to smuggle it in through some chink in the moenia mundi, these ageless walls are impregnable, or if here and there some semblance of a gate presents itself, each gate is guarded, like Eden, by science with its flaming swords. The argument of this book, then, is in the main negative.
Teachem's cap on, and making the child laugh by pretending to smuggle in papers of sweets by stealth, apart from the severe eyes of sister or nurse. That cut Nuttie to the heart. To speak of the evils for which self-indulgence was a preparation would only make her father sneer at her for a second Hannah More.
