"But he came through the Wilderness." "If he did he lost a hundred thousand men, more than Lee had altogether, and now he's checkmated." "He'll never see Richmond unless he comes to Libby," said Redfield coarsely. "I'm not so sure," said Raymond gravely. "Whatever we say to the people and however we try to hold up their courage, we ought not to conceal the facts from ourselves.
But I think we have him checkmated. By night we ought to have the bulk of the treasure on board. Once we get it the Argos will show him her heels." Four bells sounded, six, eight. Dugan came down from the bridge to report to me. "Captain Blythe's party coming down to the beach, sir." Two of the men were carrying a large chest.
Mrs. Little had, in common with all weak and obstinate persons, a very foolish fear of ever being supposed to be dictated to or controlled by anybody. She was distinctly aware that Hetty had checkmated her.
Damia and Porphyrius took a vain pleasure in their eager discussions, and clapped with delight, as though it were a game of skill, when Gorgo laughingly checkmated her excited opponent with some unanswerable argument.
If his insanity is too sharp for me, as it may well be, I shall be checkmated in any effort to forcibly keep him from doing harm. In that case I can only trust to you, and hope that some chance circumstance may lead to the opening of Julian's eyes. But they are closed closed fast. In any case you will help me and I will help you. You shall have opportunities of meeting Julian often.
"No, George Weston: but a looker-on at chess sees more of the game than the player; and I have been looking at your last few moves in the game of life, without taking part with you, and I see you will be checkmated soon, if you do not alter your tactics.
Nevertheless, the influence of the Czar checkmated the efforts of Haugwitz and the French party, and kept that Government to its resolve, which on November 3rd took the form of the Treaty of Potsdam between Russia, Austria, and Prussia. Frederick William pledged himself to offer the armed mediation of Prussia, and, if it were refused by Napoleon, to join the allies.
That young fellow has nothing to do with it whatever. 'Hasn't he now! Mr Melmotte, as he speculated upon it, almost admired the young man's impudence. Sir Felix as he walked down to his club felt that he had been checkmated, and was at the same time full of wrath at the insolence of the man who had so easily beaten him out of the field. As far as he could see, the game was over.
Lincoln himself told me afterward that even he had previously felt in doubt, for the summer was fast passing away; that General Grant seemed to be checkmated about Richmond and Petersburg, and my army seemed to have run up against an impassable barrier, when, suddenly and unexpectedly, came the news that "Atlanta was ours, and fairly won."
If not, we are checkmated, and must find who employed him and appeal to them." When Frank and the officer returned, and the former had also donned a disguise, the four proceeded at once to Frye's office. It was early, and none of the other office occupants on that floor had arrived. As agreed, Uncle Terry knocked at Frye's door alone, but no one answered. He knocked again; still no answer.
