"I suppose now," returns that officer, "YOU will he expecting a twenty-pound note or a present of about that figure?" Mrs. Chadband merely laughs and contemptuously tells him he can "offer" twenty pence. "My friend the law-stationer's good lady, over there," says Mr. Bucket, luring Mrs. Snagsby forward with the finger. "What may YOUR game be, ma'am?" Mrs.
Evidently he was started on a dangerous train of reflection. With the idea of luring him away from it, I led the conversation to the subject of champagne. "Most people like it dry," admitted the O'Kelly. "Meself, I have always preferred it with just a suggestion of fruitiness." "There was a champagne," I said, "you used to be rather fond of when we years ago."
But they had talked of other things. He had meant to tell her that it was not the gold itself that was luring him far to the north that it was not the gold alone that was taking Donald MacDonald back to it.
For that purpose alone they were cunningly luring him closer and closer, that they need not carry the meat far when they had slaughtered him. At least his last moments were lighted with hope. He made one grand, final dash, tripped in a noose that had somehow dropped neatly in the way of his front feet, and went down with a crash and a bellow of dismay.
They are luring the ambitious with visionary promises of Southern grandeur and prosperity, and deceiving the ignorant into the belief that the principles and practice of the Free States were truly represented by John Brown. All this might have been prevented, had Mr. Buchanan in his Message thought of the interests of his country instead of those of his party.

"Do you know what it is to have a dream of power, luring you on day and night? Do you know what is to see the dream becoming reality, bit by bit and then to be given a time limit, when the dream is only half worked out?" "I have had my dream," I said. "It is now realized." "The germ?" I nodded. He leaned forward. "Then you are satisfied?" "I have no desires now." He did not appear to understand.
"To corrupt the heart with vanities, and to mislead the affections by luring them to the things of life, is the guile in which he delighteth. A fallen nature lendeth but too ready aid. We must deal with the child in fervor and watchfulness, or better that her bones were lying by the side of those little ones of thy flock, who are already inheritors of the promise."
However, during the first two or three weeks I was too much borne down by the cruelty of my drudgery to be interested in the luring rewards which it held out. Not being accustomed to physical exertion of any kind, I felt like an innocent man suddenly thrown into prison and put at hard labor. I was shocked. I was crushed.
'To be Mrs Quilp the second, when Mrs Quilp the first is dead, sweet Nell, said Quilp, wrinkling up his eyes and luring her towards him with his bent forefinger, 'to be my wife, my little cherry-cheeked, red-lipped wife. Say that Mrs Quilp lives five year, or only four, you'll be just the proper age for me. Ha ha!
