Boy as he was, he reasoned it out astutely. If Madelon married Lot Gordon the merest shadow of suspicion that her confession had been true would not cling to her, and Richard hated Burr, and was fiercely triumphant that he should not think his sister dying for love of him; and then Burr would lose the Gordon money.
Nevertheless the machinery of administration, astutely devised by Iyeyasu, and further perfected by Iyemitsu, worked so well that the enemies of the Shogunate could find no opportunity for a successful attack until foreign aggression unexpectedly came to their aid. The most dangerous enemies of the government were the great clans of Satsuma and Choshu.
Brothers from the monasteries, to say nothing of hunted heretics, had the reputation of being marvellous cunning in their methods. It was like enough that Brother Emmanuel had long been planning some such concealment for himself, and had made his plans cleverly and astutely.
In time there came a great pressure for an increase of the number of members; but Franklin astutely substituted a plan whereby each member was to form a subordinate club, similar to the original, but having no knowledge of its connection with the Junto.
"Master Molines was a discreet and careful man and seldom told out all his thought," said Bradford astutely. "Methinks he counted upon 'the way of a man with a maid, and left it to thee to find out the most perfect plan of caring for a young gentlewoman." "Dost think so, Will? Dost think he meant me to take her to wife?
"Then she didn't tell yer that she and Ferrers was sparkin' and keepin' kimpany together; that she and him was engaged, and was kalkilatin' to run away to furrin parts; that she cottoned to him more than to the ship or her father?" "She certainly did not, and I shouldn't believe it," said Renshaw, quickly. Nott smiled. He was amused; he astutely recognized the usual trustfulness of love and youth.
You know Esther, don't you?" "No," said Lydia, in a wilful stubbornness; "I don't know her." "You've seen her, haven't you?" "Yes, I've seen her." "You don't like her then?" said Madame astutely. "What's the matter with her?" Something gave way in Lydia. The pressure of feeling was too great and candour seethed over the top. "She's a horrid woman."
He had never abandoned this scheme, and of late had been pushing it with some prospect of success; for among other encouraging features he astutely induced three privy councilors to become financially interested in the project. The original purpose of the petitioners had been to ask for only 2,500,000 acres of land; but Hillsborough bade them ask for "enough to make a province."
Holly looked at him the wistful candour in those grey eyes gave young Val a sudden feeling that he must protect her. "I mean there are people and people," he added astutely. "Your dad looks awfully decent, for instance." "Oh yes!" said Holly fervently; "he is."
Mercier astutely passed a bill through the legislature, authorising the payment of $400,000 as compensation to the Jesuits in lieu of all the lands held by them prior to the conquest and subsequently confiscated by the crown.
