"Now, men," he said, as affably as he could contrive, "I've made you acquainted with the difficulties and the necessities of the situation. As I said before, I depend on your loyalty.... Will you let me hear from you later in the afternoon to-day?"
Would they wait that long, or would they do their cowardly work as soon as night fell She must contrive to delay them till the train drew in. She must play for those two lives with all her woman's wit; must match the outlaw's sinister cunning and fool him into delay. She knew he would come if she sent for him. But how long could she keep him?
Mr Seagrave had no opportunity of firing, but Ready had shot one, which lay kicking and struggling under a cocoa-nut tree. "A piece of fresh pork will be quite a treat, Mr Seagrave," said Ready, as they walked up to where the animal was lying. "It will, indeed, Ready," replied Mr Seagrave; "we must contrive to carry the beast home between us."
We profess that we choose, we keep our fetters out of sight, we smile, we sing, we contrive to be glad of being alive, and we take great interest in the changing of our jails. But no man knows where his neighbor's prison lies. How bravely and cheerily most eyes look up! This is one of the sweetest mercies of life, that "the heart knoweth its own bitterness," and, knowing it, can hide it.
The tide was turned against Jailer Hawes, and these two were not the articles to swim against a stream even though that stream was truth. Mr. Hawes took his time. He shook hands with Fry, who bade him farewell with regret. Who is there that somebody does not contrive to like?

The pope justly thunders against those who, by any art, contrive the injury of the traffic in pardons. To think the papal pardons so great that they could absolve a man even if he had committed an impossible sin and violated the Mother of God this is madness.

His own opinion consequently was that they should await this opportunity with patience, and in the meanwhile still keep a watchful eye upon everything, and contrive to give the people a hint of the threatened danger, that they might be ready to act if circumstances should call for their co-operation.
Your fate seemed sealed unless I could contrive a scheme to save you; but I could think of nothing; and the anticipation of your death made me feel so utterly wretched, that at last I entreated my father that, if he would not spare you, he would at least not compel me to witness your sufferings.
They are sombre and frowning, and look a trifle more as if they were meant to keep people out than to let them in; but what equally "important" type if there be an equally important is more expressive of domiciliary dignity and security and yet attests them with a finer aeesthetic economy? They are impressively "handsome," and yet contrive to be so by the simplest means.
We have her with us, your haner, because if we did not she would be alone in the world." "And what trade or profession do you follow?" said I. "We do a bit in the tinkering line, your haner." "Do you find tinkering a very profitable profession?" said I. "Not very, your haner; but we contrive to get a crust and a drink by it." "That's more than I ever could," said I.
