Upon returning from exile Burr tried to break his lease to Astor, but the lease was so astutely drawn that the courts decided in Astor's favor. Smith's account is faulty. Most of the leases expired in 1866. The value of the reversions was very large. Docs. Doc.
This was ringing the changes to one tune with some effect, for the time being and so astutely timed and intended, that no discussion could be taken in the House of Commons upon the informal motion, serving as the peg on which to hang the prepared speech of deceptive figures and assertions inflicted on the House the 22d of June last; whilst thus, as the Leaguer shrewdly anticipated, it might run uncontroverted for months to come until another session, and, through Anti-Corn-Law circulars and tracts of the League, do the dirty work of the time for which concocted, when no matter how consigned and forgotten afterwards among the numberless other lies of the day, fabricated by the League.
I did not know I had an enemy in the wide world. You say you saw a woman's face?" he asked, thoughtfully. "It was the ghost of your first wife," asserted the old housekeeper, astutely. "I never saw her face but once; but there was something about it one could not easily forget."
Now, was the President an opportunist, merely waiting to see what course events would take, or was he a political strategist, astutely biding his time? Similar in character is this old debate upon Lincoln, which is perhaps best focussed in the removal of Secretary Blair which we shall have to note in connection with the election of 1864.
She confesses it. But she maintains the assumption, nevertheless." "Absolutely? No little sign of lapse among thy handsome servants, here?" "I do not see her when she is with the servants," she said astutely. "What will you do with her?" he asked. "She is beautiful, unique, and so eligible to my collection of arts and artists under this roof. She shall stay till fate shows its hand for all of us."
John Durant, the Chief of the Yeopims, had very astutely made it known to his own braves, as well as to his white neighbors, that the visions that visited him in his somnolent hours must somehow, somewhere, if within the range of possibility, materialize into visible, tangible realities, and that those who could, and did not help in their materialization, would incur the anger of the great chief.
He knew that it became him to have some regard for his own dignity. He therefore put the matter very astutely to Bozzle, asking no questions, but alluding to his difficulty in a way that would enable Bozzle to offer advice. And where was he to get a woman to take charge of his child? If Lady Milborough would do it, how great would be the comfort!
The sentence is taken from a letter which he addressed to the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, May 1, 1812, when he had received the recent British Order. He pointed out how astutely this step was calculated to undo the effect of Champagny's letter, and to weaken the American Administration at the critical moment when it was known to be preparing for war.
"Are you going to talk business with Phil?" she asked him next, "or may I stay here? Griffith and Dolly won't want me in the parlor, and I don't want to go into the kitchen." "I have no doubt you may stay here," he said, quite seriously; "but why won't they want you in the parlor?" "They never want anybody," astutely. "I dare say they are making love, they generally are."
The touches of pure pale blue in the fan and the delicate tints of the rose are manifestations of the artist's restrained and subtle management of color, but above all there is a perfectly unassuming yet uncompromising rendering of character. There is nothing in the plain refined features that cries out for recognition of a temperament astutely divined.
