Or, if this was only behaving with a brother's freedom and confidence, Mrs.
Shrill and wild, with the whistling of the wind past his ears, he caught its pursuing tones; but in anger now, no longer soft and coaxing. And it was accompanied; she did not follow alone.

He felt them furiously smite his neck and cheeks, snatch at his hands and try to entangle his feet and ski in drifts.
"The man, my dear, whose plots to compromise and entangle a lovely girl you have favoured, is a villain of the deepest dye a pirate."

Prosper thou, O gracious Protector of oppressed innocence! this last effort of thy poor handmaid! that I may escape the crafty devices and snares that have begun to entangle my virtue; and from which, but by this one trial, I see no way of escaping.

She has been a splendid friend. I owe my first brief to her, and a good deal else beside." "Well, and no doubt you have already given her a good deal in return. Quite as much as she deserves.
The look was turned upon her, not upon her hero, and Rosamund thought, 'Does she want to entangle me as well?

'I would speak to you, but that I feel you would betray me, her eyes had said.
Immense was the pressure put upon Henry by the Spanish court, during the summer, to induce him to abandon his allies. Very complicated were the nets thrown out to entangle the wary old politician in "the grey jacket and with the heart of gold," as he was fond of designating himself, into an alliance with Philip and the archdukes.
But of late the truth had forced itself upon him that the woman wished to entangle him in a serious affair. He could not afford to jeopardise his reputation at the very outset of his career by any such entanglement, or by the appearance of one.
