From a music-hall singer she had gone down down, until she, once beautiful, courted, had become a mere what she was, associate of one like Dandy Joe, cunning, unscrupulous. At your refusal to become the victim of their blackmailing scheme, she in her anger seized a weapon; during the struggle, it was accidentally discharged." Was Lord Ronsdale asking himself how the other had learned this?
During the career recorded in the foregoing book, I have bidden many farewells; to the Wagogo, with their fierce effrontery; to Mionvu, whose blackmailing once so affected me; to the Wavinza, whose noisy clatter promised to provoke dire hostilities; to the inhospitable Warundi; to the Arab slave-traders and half-castes; to all fevers, remittent, and intermittent; to the sloughs and swamps of Makata; to the brackish waters and howling wastes; to my own dusky friends and followers, and to the hero-traveller and Christian gentleman, David Livingstone.
Thrall Lord Moors have you allowed these people to treat you as if you were part of the ship's crew? Why don't you give them what they want and let them go? Of course it's some sort of blackmailing scheme. But you ought to get rid of them at any cost. Then you can appeal to the authorities, and tell them that you will bring the matter to the notice of the government at Washington.
Moreover, he played the game of life bravely, and spoke with indignant contempt of a banker who, distracted and driven to extremities by blackmailing, had imagined that he would bring a recent scandal to an end by killing himself: a pitiful tragedy, from all the mire and blood of which the scandal had sprouted afresh with the most luxuriant and indestructible vegetation.
"Then you're simply operating a blackmailing scheme to get the Certina advertising for the 'Clarion." "The Certina advertising?" repeated Sterne in obvious surprise. "Certina doesn't advertise locally. Most patent medicines don't. It's a sort of fashion of the trade not to," explained Ellis. "What on earth is all this about, then?" The two newspaper men exchanged a glance.

Another thought gave him some comfort: Walters had plotted against Lawrence because his evidence might be dangerous, but probably knew nothing about Daly's blackmailing plan.
The detective handed this over to her, and, in her gratitude, she promised to give up all further opposition to the match. Lecoq always denied that this act came under the head of blackmailing. Andre and Sabine took up their residence after marriage at the Chateau de Mussidan, which had been magnificently restored and decorated.
What's he doing now with Caesar Maruffi if he isn't after him for money?" Blake's amusement suddenly gave place to eagerness. "Maruffi!" he exclaimed. "What's this?" "Joe Poggi is blackmailing Caesar Maruffi out of the money to defend his friends. He was at di Marco's house an hour before Salvatore's arrest. I saw him with Garcia and Bolla and Cardoni more than once."
"I want to ask you a plain question and I expect a plain answer. Why are you blackmailing my mother?" Pratt shook his head as if he felt more sorrow than anger. He glanced deprecatingly at his visitor. "I think you'll be sorry on reflection that you said that, Miss Mallathorpe," he answered. "You're a little shall we say upset? A little shall we say angry?
"Then you did blackmail him," she said in a tone of dismay. "He seemed to think that we were like the Douglases used to," said the Terror in an amiable tone. "But surely you knew that blackmailing is very wrong very wrong, indeed," said Mrs. Dangerfield. "Well, he did seem to think so," said the Terror.
