She impressed it on the mind of Catie, also, that it was her girlish duty to herd her immature companion into the proper fold; that her young and sprightly charms, her girlish loyalty should be to her as a shepherd's crook, the guiding wand to be applied in moments of extremest peril. After her lights, Mrs. Brenton was canny.
"I wonder now if old Ram Lal has a hold on my canny friend, Hugh Fraser Johnstone Sir Hugh to be! Perhaps they are like all the rest of us rascals of the same grade, but only in different ways. The old jewel matters! I must look to this and watch Ram Lal!" The returned Anglo-Indian carelessly nodded to the group of men gathered in the club's lounging-room as he entered.
So far the Munsterberg school has overlooked it but the canny Parisians have not. They long ago studied out every quirk and wriggle of it, and capitalized it to their own purpose. Liberality! Economy! Frugality! there they are, everywhere blazoned forth Liberality for you, Economy and Frugality for them. Could anything on earth be fairer than that?
"No; they must have been on the other side of the river." Again that question forced my lips, "Why is the bell ringing?" "Canny, dominie," he said, "till we're up the stair. Mysy Moncur's lug's at her keyhole listening to you." "You lie, Hendry Munn," cried an invisible woman. The voice became more plaintive: "I ken a heap, Hendry, so you may as well tell me a'."
The silence prolonged itself for minutes which seemed to them both like hours. Then the eternal feminine yielded to the sting of curiosity.

The gate swung open wider yet, and the small girl marched through the opening.
"Oh! I can beat that one," cried Jess. "Let's hear you," responded the black-eyed miss. "Listen, then," returned her schoolmate: "'A canny young canner of Cannee, One morning observed to his Granny, "A canner can can A lot of things, Gran, But a canner can't can a can, can 'e?"" Now, how is that for a match for your limerick?" This started the ball a-rolling.
I was turbulently joyous, and so I winged a little while around Sophie and Aaron, hummed a good-night in Chloe's ears, and found that the canny soul was luxuriating in the idea that the icy lady was to be thawed into the acceptance of sundry confections which she was basketing to carry with her when I went out. "Call me early," I said; "you know I leave at seven o'clock."
But he meant to be canny; this time he would choose a woman who, if she ruled him, would not misrule him; what he could stand was a sovereign, not a despot, and he believed that he had found this exceptionally gifted and exceptionally moderated being: it was Miss Anna Hardage.
He knew a good horse, could guess the weight of a steer with surprising accuracy, and was a past master in knowledge of sheep. By instinct he was canny at a trade what mountaineer is not? and he astonished the Major with the shrewd deals he made.
