Nothing could be more picturesque than a teamster conducting one of his great pyramidical loads over the little inequalities of the road, in the ticklish places standing atop with the bent knee of the Roman charioteer, spying and forestalling the chances of the way with a fixed eye and an intense concentration that relaxed not one inch in the miles of the haul.
"At least," he says, "I have a better reason to plead for silence than the Cambridge man who, on being asked in what pursuit he was then engaged, replied that he was diligently employed in suffering his hair to grow." These "endeavours to improve the psalmody" were a forestalling of the victory over the version of Tate and Brady.
If, then, your lordship would recommend this young man for the first vacancy in the constabulary, or some place in the Customs, it would satisfy a most natural expectation, and, at the same time, evidence your lordship's interest for the country you so late ruled over. 'There is nothing more pernicious than forestalling other people's patronage, Atlee.
It only meant forestalling the arrival of Wellington's despatches in London by four and twenty hours, and one million would make fifty during that time.
Gould, as the phrase goes, was an excellent bluff; and so dexterously did he manipulate and hoodwink the old man that it was quite some time before Pratt realized what was being done. Gould was alert in forestalling this move. During his visits to New York City, he had become acquainted with Charles M. Leupp, a rich leather merchant.

By his delay he had lost the services of his best ally, the inclement weather; but he had at least come to a decision, and forestalling Napoleon's scheme, advanced on June sixth to the Passarge, against Ney's corps, which was the French advance-guard.
"With your sentiments you are hardly prepared to do the man justice," said Edward forestalling a reply upon his sister's pouting lips. "Had a man by his nefarious business, blasted every hope in my Louise's life save one, and were I that one, think you I could speak favorably of the wretch? No." said the doctor, impetuously.
Garibaldi had returned from his two sojourns in America, with the halo of a legend round him paladin-like feats in the pampas of Uruguay, an extraordinary passage from Canton to Lima and he had returned to take part in the war of 1859, forestalling the French army, overthrowing an Austrian marshal, and entering Como, Bergamo, and Brescia.
This evidently was the great business that could not be disclosed at the time and for which the repeal of the tolls legislation was the necessary preliminary. In the Atlantic Monthly for August, 1920, Mr. Could nothing be done to prevent the dangers threatened by European militarism? Was there no way of forestalling the war which seemed every day to be approaching nearer?
