Having forestalled their spring, they can produce no healthy growth of either character or intellect. A child without simplicity, a maiden without innocence, a boy without truthfulness, are not more piteous sights than the man who has wasted and thrown away his youth in self-indulgence.
"If we do not succeed within the next twenty-four hours, I shall give you an order to see him. I don't mind confessing," he went on confidentially, "that the need for the production of that document is urgent, apart from the risk we run of having our plans forestalled if it should fall into the hands of the Government." "I presume that Miss Abbeway has already done her best?"
In a fortnight we will have the whole thing so different that if he saw it himself he would only imagine we had got hold of the idea and had forestalled him." There were moments during the next few weeks when I listened to the voice of my good angel, when I saw clearly that even from the lowest point of view he was giving me sound advice. I would go to the man, tell him frankly the whole truth.
Varley patented it on December 24, 1866; Siemens called attention to it on January 17, 1867; and Wheatstone exhibited it in action at the Royal Society on the above date. But it will be seen from our life of William Siemens that Soren Hjorth, a Danish inventor, had forestalled them.
"But we may as well satisfy ourselves. Hello what's this?" The room was all upset, as though some one had already gone through it. For a moment I thought we had been forestalled.

Before the inoculation took effect, she caught knowledge in the natural way. For the refinement of a graceful mind and a happy manner is very contagious.
So the Old Senior Surgeon had forestalled her inquisitiveness with a tale adorned with all the pretty imaginings that he, "a clumsy-minded old gruffian," could conjure up. Margaret MacLean remembered the story word for word as we remember "The House That Jack Built."
"Mother said you'd been up to see me a couple of times. I thought I'd come around." K. looked at his watch. "What do you say to a walk?" "Not out in the country. I'm not as muscular as you are. I'll go about town for a half-hour or so." Thus forestalled, K. found his subject hard to lead up to. But here again Joe met him more than halfway.
It offered at length where the path ran circuitously among loose rocks, and it was impossible to proceed at a rapid pace I was about initiating a dialogue, when I was forestalled in my intention. "You are an officer in the army!" said my companion, half interrogatively. "How should you have known that?" answered I in some surprise perceiving that her speech was rather an assertion than a question.
Interpreting these hints in the light of their own consciences, the King, Queen, and favourite saw themselves in imagination flung forth into the Atlantic, a butt to the scorn of mankind; and they prepared to flee to the New World betimes, with the needful treasure. But there, too, Napoleon forestalled them.
