One does not escape from being a patient because of being also a physician, and for my part I am glad to confess my sense of enjoyment in such visits, and how I have longed to keep my doctor at my side and to decoy him into a protracted stay. The convalescence he observes is for him, too, a pleasant thing.
Henceforth the girl would be but as a clay figure in her hands a decoy to lure the golden charity of the rich and sympathetic. As for Jacques, that ruffian was now eyeing the blind lass closely, and muttering: "Not bad-looking I'll see to it no other man gets her!" He slapped his knife villainously.
He had reason to believe that this person would be a youth, and since every thing was so quiet in that section, he was not likely to be armed. Hence, it would be an easy matter to decoy him a goodly distance from the settlement, when the warrior could pounce upon, make him a prisoner and compel him to go with him.
He might, in the first instance, and more probably, decoy her into his power through stealth; and what might become of her before she was recovered? Separate yourself from her for a time. It is you, notwithstanding your arts of disguise, that can be the more easily tracked. She, now almost a woman, will have grown out of recognition.
And the spirit is apt to change itself into a beautiful girl, or a lump of gold or a bolt of silk. All sorts of deceptions are used to lure folk into the mountain gorges.

He crawled out and ran to the row of stockings he had hung on the mantelpiece as a decoy. The stockings were empty. With a shriek of disappointed rage, Ulie dashed into his parents' room to protest.
Nevertheless the decoy did its work, The envoys returned to France, and it was not until three months later that the Duke of Bouillon again made his appearance in England, bringing the treaty duly ratified by Henry. The league was then solemnized, on, the 26th August, by the queen with much pomp and ceremony.
And a most unctuous and oily of bishops! An eminent and scholarly bishop! A philanthropist and friend of labor bishop a Civic Federation decoy duck for the chloroforming of the wage-working-man!" To this little passage of arms the rest of the company sat as spectators. But now Mr.
While the supper was preparing, Denys disappeared, and was eventually found by Gerard in the yard, helping Manon, his plump but not bright decoy duck, to draw water, and pouring extravagant compliments into her dullish ear. Gerard grunted and returned to table, but Denys did not come in for a good quarter of an hour. "Uphill work at the end of a march," said he, shrugging his shoulders.
For three days, now, a gold-rigged ship, bearing a princely crew with rich armor and abundant wealth, has been sailing carelessly over these seas. To-morrow I shall send my daughters and the bewitching mermaids to decoy the vessel among the rocks. And into my net the ship, and the brave warriors, and all their armor and gold, shall fall. A rich prize it will be.
