His legal friend drew the inference, that the litigant introduced to him was a kinsman of Rabbi Anan's, and accordingly he showed himself particularly complaisant toward him. As a result, the other party to the suit was intimidated. He failed to present his side as convincingly as he might otherwise have done, and so lost the case.
"Listen, Claude," he said earnestly. "There's a way to save you, if only you keep your head about you. 'Just' Smith is coming along the road, and I'll shout out to guide him here so he can help us." "But -the bush is going to give way right off!" gasped the terrified boy. "Well, below us there's a ledge where we must plant our feet, and hold on," continued Hugh, convincingly.
"Oh, my darling, are you glad?" "Am I glad?" said Nick, and laughed at her softly. "I'm the happiest man on earth. I shall go Home now without a pang, and so will you. We have got to feather the nest, you know. That'll be fun, eh, sweetheart?" Her eyes answered him more convincingly than any words. They seemed to have caught some of the sunshine that made the world around them so glorious.
They saw their main task in the development of logic. Since, as we have mentioned, many "scholars" journeyed from one princely court to another, and other people came forward, each recommending his own method to the prince for the increase of his power, it was of great importance to be able to talk convincingly, so as to defeat a rival in a duel of words on logical grounds.
"Simply that it is on that which is written here that we base one part, perhaps the strongest, of our case against the Countess. It is strangely but convincingly corroborative of our suspicions against her." "May I look at it for myself?" went on the General in a tone of contemptuous disbelief. "It is in Italian. Perhaps you can read that language?
But his industry, strengthened by the Divine assistance, conquered, so that, while he never possessed the gift of oratory, he spoke easily, earnestly and convincingly, and when, in after years, the pilgrims poured in to Ars, sometimes as many as 20,000 in a single year, he was able to give his daily instruction from the pulpit without any special preparation and without the embarrassment which he had experienced at the beginning of his priestly career.
But the poor youth gnashed his teeth and clenched his hands. He saw his credit hanging on a thread, his new-found favour on the point of leaving him, Elias avenged, triumphant. The dragoman had travelled far and wide; he was sure to ridicule the tale, and prove convincingly that no such place existed.
The black lashes fell upon the fair cheek, and the red golden head with its crown of glory hung forward convincingly. "You false jade," thought I. "I ask for but one moment," pleaded Leicester. "The queen sleeps at this time after dinner, and perhaps your father would not object if you were to grant this little favor to the first nobleman of the realm." "You do not know my father, my lord.
It went out until it was on a line between a certain small island where many well-to-do people had homes, and the airport of the planet's capital city. Then it headed for that airport. It flew slowly, as civilian planes do. By the time the sandy beaches of a cape appeared, it was quite convincingly a private plane bringing someone from a residential island to the airport of Kandar City.
All waited anxiously for his reply. "I have," he answered convincingly. "I saw it first when I was about your age, and I've never forgotten it." "But you've seen it since, haven't you? It's still in the world, isn't it?" "I've seen it since, and it's still in the world. Only no one knows to this day why it's there. No one can explain it. No one can understand it.
