He was on the point of turning back. But he reached the fountain and there was his destiny awaiting him a little woman in widow's black. She lifted her veil and showed a face wrinkled and old, but kindly. She was agitated she really did not expect him and the great man gave a great sigh of relief when he saw that no flashily dressed creature had entrapped him.
Early in life a young sister of his had been, to use his phrase, "secretly entrapped" into conversion to the Roman Catholic faith, and had since entered a convent. His affections had been deeply wounded by this loss to the range of them. Mr. Emlyn had also his little infirmities of self-esteem rather than of vanity.
When they were far within Aasta said: "Heard you not voices up above us, my lord the voices of many men?" "Even so," said Kenric. "But methinks it will go ill with us here if we be discovered by some passing boat. We should then be entrapped." "Not so," said she. "Follow me and you shall see that we have chosen a better point of landing than you could have hoped for."
As Rupert had anticipated, the letter by which he had been entrapped turned out a forgery. Lord Fairholm was extremely indignant when he heard the use that had been made of his name, and at once made inquiries as to the trooper who had carried the note to Rupert.
If he should be caught and put in confinement, he is very ferocious, or dies of ennui; but he is much too coy and clever to be easily entrapped.

Why did I suffer myself to be entrapped' "She stopped me in my exclamations.
As he gazed into its gloomy depths, he was almost certain that he had discovered the home of the hunter. That at that moment the criminal was within its confines, where perhaps the beloved Cora was imprisoned, a miserable and pining captive. The thought maddened him, and he pressed forward so rashly that he soon found himself completely entrapped in a network of briers and brambles.
Had we even touched those deadly points, we too should have probably lost our boat and been entrapped on the Goodwin Sands.
Belmont was very well satisfied with her position, but she was well aware that she could not always maintain it, unless she entrapped some wealthy man into an amour or marriage with her; for her pecuniary resources, though temporarily sufficient for all her wants, could not last always.
"Therefore act always with caution, and take heed never to be entrapped by her paid assassins." "Don't fear, Scarsmere," he laughed. "I'm safe enough, and I do not anticipate that anybody will try and take my life. If they do they'll find I can shoot straighter than they imagined." "But they might shoot first," I suggested with a smile. "I don't intend to give them a chance," he replied.
