And she's capable of returning all of it to him!" ... And she had done so. And she had not consulted him, Louis. He, then, was a nobody zero in the house! She had deliberately filched the money from him, and to accomplish her purpose she had abstracted his keys, which he had left in his pocket.
"Thy favor.... I have brought it back to thee but not stainless, not worn in triumph.... There is a fortress and a town that I see sometimes in a dream, and the governor of them both is a nobleman of Spain Don Luiz de Guardiola, Governor of Nueva Cordoba. He filched from me my honor, but left me life that I might taste death in life.
If it were what it was in its primitive shape, and what it ought to have remained, a fair honest fishing town, and no more, it were something with a few straggling fishermen's huts scattered about, artless as its cliffs, and with their materials filched from them, it were something. I could abide to dwell with Meschek; to assort with fisher-swains, and smugglers.
I have told her so at every opportunity, but that love has been honorable and free of deceit and I know of no law which forbids a man of decent character to plead his cause. That I should win her love is a marvelous thing, but, thank God, I have it and hope to hold it till death." "You have filched it! You have it as a thief has another man's purse or another man's wife.
"Why, to think," answered Lucien, "that these same closet-naturalists should have built themselves up great names by sitting in their easy chairs measuring, and adding up, and classing into dry catalogues, objects which they knew very little about; and that little they obtained from the observations of others true naturalists men like the great Wilson men who toiled, and travelled, and exposed themselves to countless dangers and fatigues for the purpose of collecting and observing; and then for these men to have the fruits of their labours filched from them, and descanted upon in dry arithmetical terms by these same catalogue-makers.
"I tell her some day she will want people, and she will find it isn't easy to have them then.... Besides, it's her duty to take her part everybody must." Adelle made a bored gesture and filched a cigarette from Archie's case. "Go on, you two, and have a good time," she said amiably. And presently Archie departed with Irene, driving her back to Bellevue in his own car.
For two reasons: because it was itself in bad odour, and hoped by this trial to divert public attention from its own dirty position; and because he had against him not only his personal enemy, but those who wanted to hit the Company through him. He'd filched to be able to meet the large expenses of his wife's establishment.
I asked orders of the lady, and discussed ways and means with her. It was decided at once that I should go below and effect Newman's release and she gave me the small key that the Chinaman had filched. I was the stronger and more active, and could more easily make my way about in the dark, cluttered lazaret; besides, her work lay above.
Yet if he left the spears there would be trouble for him. Then a bright thought flicked: "If bad men come you shall send for me and I will bring my fine young soldiers. The palaver is finished." With this course N'gori must feign agreement. He watched the departing army paddlers sitting on swathes of filched spears.
She must go back to her Count de M , her Cabinet Minister, and her Russian Grand Duke. The only two men she had ever cared for would have none of her, despite her beauty and her fascination. Dalberg ever had scorned her; Harleston had looked with favour, wavered, was about to yield, when another outwardly her alter ego, save only in the colour of her hair appeared and filched him from her.
