The princess, like a skilful manoeuvrer, reckoned upon the additional violence his ardor would receive from this delay. The affection with which she had inspired him would only gain strength by thus deferring the day for their next meeting, whilst he would have time to meditate upon the virtue as well as the charms of her he had won.
"Thanks to steam," he wrote, "ships will be able to move in any direction with such speed that the effects of collision may, and indeed must, as they formerly did, take the place of projectile weapons and annul the calculations of the skilful manoeuvrer. The ram will be favorable to speed, without destroying the nautical qualities of a ship.
Caroline was not in this instance a very faithful ally to Vargrave's views and policy. In his singular liaison with Lady Doltimore, the crafty manoeuvrer had committed the vulgar fault of intriguers: he had over-refined and had overreached himself.
"Yes, but that has been merely from regard to the late Lady Hunter, who was her particular friend." "Particular friend! a vamped-up, sentimental conversation reason." "But I assure you," persisted Miss Walsingham, "that I know Mrs. Beaumont's mind better than you do, father, at least on this subject." "You! a girl of eighteen, pretend to know a manoeuvrer of her age!"
Walsingham. "Yes, 'Elle est politique pour des choux et des raves. This charming widow Beaumont is manoeuvrer. We can't well make an English word of it.

Lady Mary is a mere manoeuvrer, that no straightforward person could like; and Miss Nugent is a mere handsome wax figure, with such clever machinery inside, that she can literally say the words, "mamma thaith." I have heard of a doll who could say "mamma," but she is still cleverer. 'Colonel Vaughan bit his lips, knit his forehead, but smiled. 'You are severe upon your neighbours, Freda.
I know, however, what influence the possession of rank, position, title, will have on her, when she comes to know their value by seeing ay, and by feeling, how they are appreciated.
