This piteous wretch, with his fatuous airs of sharpness, was exactly the kind of game that the bookmakers cared to fly at; he was cajoled and stimulated; he was trapped at every turn; the vultures flapped round him; and there was no strong, wise man to give the booby counsel or to drag him by main force from his fate.
He may be alive and trapped, up " "You're right," shouted Browne. "He's not the kind to go down with the first rush. We must go to him. We can get there in ten minutes. Britt! Where are the guns?

Realizing that he was trapped, at any rate from behind, he galloped forward with his staff, scattering bewildered men to right and left of him, to find out whether the trap could not be forced from the upper end, knowing that there were plenty of men on the road already to account for any possible total we could bring against them, if only they could be led forward and deployed.
A far from pleasant death, you will allow; worse in that it would have involved your own. For I should have had to kill you too, my dearest joy: so much would have been owing to my self-respect.

"It is useless for you to resist, for you are on shipboard, and you cannot escape." Bloodgood uttered a fierce curse, "Who in the fiend's name are you?" he snarled, turning pale. And "Mr. Slush" answered: "Dan Badger, of the New York detective force! Permit me to present you with a pair of handsome bracelets, Mr. Hammersley." Click the trapped diamond thief was ironed!
I had the news by telegraph, and the heavens darkened above me, whilst the solid earth rocked below. I had been trapped into dishonour, and even the bait had been withheld from me. But it was not the loss of Eva that troubled me most. It should have outweighed all my other misfortunes and made them seem of no account, but it did not. Man is essentially a materialist.
An accident must have happened or the shiftless one would never have allowed himself to be trapped in the day. Yet he had hope, he said resolutely to himself that he must retain hope, and he watched continually for the smaller band that was approaching through the bushes.
She trapped me once and she threatens to do it again. Sir, may I beg you to protect me?" He said it low and fast. No one else could hear his words. "What! What!" the Chancellor exclaimed. And then, drawing a step nearer and quite as low and rapidly but with perfect distinctness, Marco uttered four words: "The Lamp is lighted." The Help cry had been answered instantly.
