We had the dog with us, but he's not like Grip, clever as he is, and doesn't guess it yet, I'll wager. Why do you look behind me so? 'Did I? she answered faintly. 'I didn't know I did. Come nearer me. 'You are frightened! said Barnaby, changing colour. 'Mother you don't see' 'See what?
In the telegrams that were finally sent, the president of the Rhinds Submarine Company referred to himself as apparently the victim of a very clever but diabolical plot to ruin his company. He asked the members of Congress for his state to see to it that he was given a full opportunity for justice. "Justice? Ugh!" muttered the old man, as he scanned one of his telegrams.
When a woman tells a young man that she is very unhappy, and when the young man is clever, and well dressed, and has fifteen hundred francs lying idle in his pocket, he is sure to think as Eugene said, and he becomes a coxcomb. "What can you have left to wish for?" he answered. "You are young, beautiful, beloved, and rich." "Do not let us talk of my affairs," she said shaking her head mournfully.
Something must also be attributed to a clever ruse on the part of Akamatsu Norimura. He sent to Yoshisada's headquarters a message promising to give his support to the Imperialists if he was appointed high constable of Harima. Ten days were needed to obtain the commission from Kyoto, and Norimura utilized the interval to place the defenses of Shirahata fortress in a thoroughly secure condition.
But he did not succeed. With all his experience of the world and of women he was not clever enough to deceive that simple woman.

She was looking at me, with all her features tilted in that funny way she had. "Well no," she said; "I wasn't exactly helping." "What were you doing, then?" "I'm afraid I was trying to stop him." The sheer folly of it took my breath away. "Surely," I said, "if he hadn't the ghost of a chance, it wasn't necessary?" "Well it was necessary, you see. He's so awfully clever.
One old man who is charged by law with the duty of proclaiming the adoption of the amendment, but who has determined to incorporate into the Union the debris of the late Confederacy he stands in the way." "The Secretary is clever in work of this kind.
The old man thinks it's wicked to hunt, I'm told. You must get down to my sister's in time for the theatricals, and I'm sure she'll be glad to give you a part. I'm sure you act well; I know you're very clever. My sister's forty years old and has seven children, but she's going to play the principal part. Plain as she is she makes up awfully well I will say for her.
"Don't neglect the country round," his advice concluded. "The first fine afternoon drive up to Fiesole, and round by Settignano, or something of that sort." "No!" cried a voice from the top of the table. "Mr. Beebe, you are wrong. The first fine afternoon your ladies must go to Prato." "That lady looks so clever," whispered Miss Bartlett to her cousin. "We are in luck."
"Oh! but you would like him, Henrietta," the girl declared. "He is very clever and very entertaining too when" "When?" "Well, when he doesn't tease too much.
