He had forwarded a second twenty-pound note, upon receiving information of the loss of the first. What he most disliked, looking at it from this point of view, was, not the feeling that he had been cleverly deceived and laughed at, but that Arthur Channing should have suffered unjustly. If the lad was innocent, why, how cruel had been his own conduct towards him!
From New Orleans they'd go on west by train." "What I don't see is how they caught Roddy on such an old game. He's easy, but I didn't s'pose he was that easy." "To do him justice, he isn't quite. They put it up on him rather cleverly. In the period of waiting to hear from the geographical expert I've put in some fairly hard work, going over your son's effects.
Under her father's will, if it is very cleverly drawn, Mrs. Capella may receive £1,000 per annum. She has not the remotest claim to Beechcroft and its revenues or to her brother's intestate estate." Winter whistled. "My eye!" he exclaimed. "What is Capella going to get out of it?" "Revenge! His is a legacy of hate, like most other benefactions in the Hume-Frazer family.
