She stopped him with an impassioned gesture of dissent, and darting a despairing glance around that minded me of some poor hunted thing hopelessly enmeshed in the net of the fowler, she clasped her hands and wrung them, breaking down piteously at the last, and begging him by all that men hold sacred to send her and her maid back to her father, if only with a single soldier for a guard.
McDonald, the supervisor of the St. Louis revenue district, was the leader of the Whiskey Ring. He lavished gifts upon President Grant, who, with an amazing indifference and innocence, accepted such favors from all kinds of sources. Orville E. Babcock, the President's private secretary, who possessed the complete confidence of the guileless general, was soon enmeshed in the net of investigation.
Soon, from mere exhaustion, he fell into a fitful, feverish slumber accompanied by a nightmare in which the lashing of the wind and rain outside were conjured into the clangor and hoof beats of cavalry and he was hopelessly enmeshed in a barbed-wire entanglement. With the first light of dawn he saw that he was lying upon a mass of fishnet and that his feet and arms were entangled in its meshes.
For the first time, looking round the ill-lit room on the women's terrified faces, and the king's masked figure instinct with ill-repressed nervousness, I recognised how hopelessly we were enmeshed.
I saw myself enmeshed and fettered beyond hope of escape, and by an effort only controlled the despair I felt. 'To-morrow? I muttered hoarsely. 'At what time? He shook his head with a cunning smile. 'A thousand thanks, but I will settle that myself! he answered. 'Au revoir! and uttering a word of leave-taking to M. Francois d'Agen, he blessed the two servants, and went out into the night.
After all, the clothes revealed nothing except absence from city shops and city standards.

It seemed to glow from its very fineness, its silkiness the kind of hair one is prompted to touch, to feel if it is really that way!
It revealed too plainly, in its ingenuous solicitude and sorrow, the coercion under which Franz had departed. Yes; the plan was there and they were all enmeshed in it; but what was to happen if Karen would not marry Franz? How could that be made to match the story she had now written to Mrs. Forrester? And what was to happen if Karen refused to come with her?
"We do in our lives many things we have said to ourselves we never shall do. And we often do them just at the times when we have thought they will be impossible to do." "But you make plans beforehand." "Do I?" "Yes. Have you made a plan about the Loulia?" She felt now that he had, and she felt that, like a fly in a web, she was enmeshed in his plan. Another orange-coloured sail!
Up on the stained-glass window the sunlight filtered through blue-and-red-and-golden angels, sending shafts of heavenly colour across the floor; and the fibres of her soul, enmeshed in music, seemed to stretch out to mingle with that heavenly colour. It was hard to separate herself from that sound and colour which was not herself. Tears came to her eyes; she couldn't tell why, for she wasn't sad.
He did not feel the sweep and tickle of downfalling hair which, for a moment, enmeshed and covered his face, when Mex knelt at his side and took from his bosom the pocket-book he had told her contained a fortune. Having secured this treasure, the slighted mistress of a dying robber slid noiseless as a shadow to her accustomed covert behind the bar.
