And yet, I mused, the patient fates have crooked methods, besides a certain mischievous humour, for it was Davies who had asked me out though now he scarcely seemed to need me almost tricked me into coming out, for he might have known I was not suited to such a life; yet trickery and Davies sounded an odd conjuncture.
Perhaps nothing concerning the Russian war is more commonly repeated than the statement that we were tricked into it by the Emperor of the French for his own selfish ends, and in his desire to be received into the brotherhood of sovereigns; that our ministers were blindly following the lead of Louis Napoleon, and were guilty of a very gross blunder.
The trance of feeling broke, and passed away. She caught up a cloak and went to the hall door to listen for Gertrude Marvell. "What I shall have to say to him before long, is 'I have tricked you this quarter out of L500 and I mean to do it again next quarter if I can! He won't want to kiss my hand again!"
