If it had not been nature that taught her the practice of them in extremity, the sagacious dowagers would have seen brazenness rather than innocence or an excuseable indiscretion in the part she was performing. They are not lightly duped by one of their sex. Few tasks are more difficult than for a young woman under a cloud to hoodwink old women of the world.
"Do you think you can hoodwink me any longer? There shall be an end of it do you hear?" Rylton's face, as she now sees it in the light of the lamps in her room, almost frightens her. "I've had enough of it!" "I don't understand you!" says Tita, standing well away from him, her face as white as ashes. As for his face "Don't you?" violently. "Then I shall explain.
Misrepresentation in the long run makes Truth as much as it mars her; hence our law courts do not think it desirable that pleaders should speak their bona fide opinions, much less that they should profess to do so. Rather let each side hoodwink judge and jury as best it can, and let truth flash out from collision of defence and accusation.
This should comfort us while we skim the sparkling passages of the 'Leaves. When a nation has acknowledged that it is as yet but in the fisticuff stage of the art of condensing our purest sense to golden sentences, a readier appreciation will be extended to the gift: which is to strike not the dazzled eyes, the unanticipating nose, the ribs, the sides, and stun us, twirl us, hoodwink, mystify, tickle and twitch, by dexterities of lingual sparring and shuffling, but to strike roots in the mind, the Hesperides of good things.
He has not risen early enough in the morning to hoodwink me. If Pierre is only of the same opinion as I, we shall soon spoil this fortune-hunter's work." The carriage stopped. "Monsieur Pierre Delarue?" inquired the mistress. "Madame, he went out a quarter of an hour ago." "To go where?" "He did not say." "Do you know whether he will be absent long?" "I don't know." "Much obliged."
"I am not to be deceived a second time," she said. "Who else but Theodore Judson should have employed you? Who else but Theodore Judson is interested in the Haygarth fortune? O, it was like him to employ a stranger where he knew his own efforts would be unavailing; it was like him to hoodwink me by the agency of a hireling tool."
The work went on steadily and Perk eventually had every part of the amphibian covered with deceptive green stuff, well calculated to hoodwink any air pilot passing directly over the spot. This accomplished, he was ready to call it a day and drop down close to Jack for a resting spell.
We never palm off a greater deception on ourselves than when we try to hoodwink conscience by pleading bounded gifts as an excuse for boundless indolence, and to persuade ourselves that if we could do more we should be less inclined to do nothing. The most largely endowed has no more obligation and no fairer field than the most slenderly gifted lies under and possesses.
Now be still! Horse." "How can I pass my examination if I'm to be still? Wagon." "Aeroplane." "You." "How did you know that I was an aviator?" "Never mind; go on with the game." "All right. Beaux." "Flattery." "Chaperon." "Hoodwink." "Oh, you rascal! Mother." "Father." "Father." "Money." "Soft-boiled egg." "Messy." "American Beauties." "Mr. Grant, he often sends them to me." "Music." "Dancing."
"I'm sorry, Chris, but I came off in a hurry, as matters seemed urgent, and I have to be back by the end of the week." "I wonder if you would care to entrust your dog to me," said Mordaunt. "I am fairly well known. I think I could be relied upon with safety to hoodwink the authorities." He made the suggestion with a smile that warmed Chris's desolate heart.
