It is a bloodhound when it comes to detecting the false from the true. Take that little sketch, 'Trapped, you sent me out to see last week. A more sophisticated audience might have mistaken its brittle epigrammatic quality for brilliancy and its flippancy for cleverness. But not your ten-twenty-thirty's. In real life a husband doesn't psychanalyze his wife's lover. He horsewhips him.
"On the contrary," mildly pursued Hanger, sipping his grog, and nicely balancing it with sugar to his taste "on the contrary, my good sir, she says he is a brave fellow what she calls a brave garçon." "Doesn't know him then, Mounseer Glendore! I wonder how many disguises he has worn in his life how many women he has trapped and ruined! Ask her how long he has been here?"
Yet here he was, sitting on a lonely rock, consumed with an unquenchable restlessness, a kind of trapped sensation.
You ruined my boy's life and sent him to his grave. He'd have lived to be an old man out here; but you spoiled him. You trapped him into marrying you, with your kicking and your comic songs, and your tricks of the stage, and you parted us parted him and me for ever." "That was your fault. George wanted to make it up." "With you!"
However, we were there, and it was too late to look up another trapping-ground, so we occupied some of the old cabins that had been erected by the Hudson Bay Company and went to trapping. Notwithstanding the country had all been trapped over, we had fair success, or, at least, much better than we expected.
All this spying and watching, he said, had as it were spun a net about his feet so that he was trapped and powerless to escape; he felt like a fly that had blundered into the intricacies of a great web; he was caught, imprisoned, and could not get away. It was a distressing sensation. A numbness had crept over his will till it had become almost incapable of decision.
Here is a man who has been trapped into the power of his enemy, that he might not interfere to prevent a base stratagem upon his lady, involving both her life and honour; yet he thinks it a matter of necessity that he keeps faith as precisely with these midnight poisoners, as he would had it been pledged to the most honourable men!"
Perhaps, he thought, Sir Henry had had something to do with the seizure; but he gave up the idea directly, giving his old friend credit for too much honourable feeling towards him to have him trapped in so cowardly a manner.
The expression that came into the faces of the four men was one not soon to be forgotten. For a full minute there was absolute silence. "Do you mean that we are prisoners?" demanded Ugo, his teeth showing, but not in a smile. "Not at all. The door has a habit of locking itself." "I command you to open that door!" cried the prince, looking about him like a trapped rat.
"Funny thing, but hit's true," declared Bill, "that a bear allers dies flat on his back, onless he's trapped." "So do men," said "Doc" grimly; "men who've been shot in battle. You go along a battlefield, right atter the action, and you'll find most o' the dead faces pintin' to the sky." "Bears is almost human, anyhow.
