"That was a master-stroke, Adderley!" he said, and the smile deepened into sudden laughter "But how in the world did you come here?" "I was here all the time," said Adderley, still standing across Leveson's prostrate form "Returning to the habits of primaeval monkey as I often do, I was seated in the boughs of that venerable chestnut-tree-and I heard all the argument. I enjoyed it.
But Voltaire's comment upon the master-stroke by which such an effect has been obtained illustrates, in a remarkable way, his own sense of the dramatic. 'Nouvelle preuve, he remarks, 'que Sophocle n'avait pas perfectionné son art. More detailed evidence of Voltaire's utter lack of dramatic insight is to be found, of course, in his criticisms of Shakespeare.
That was a master-stroke of Daisy's. Molly's answer was again a grunt of curiosity; and Daisy, crouching opposite to her, took up her speech, and told her at length and in detail the whole story of Lazarus. And if Daisy was engaged with her subject, so certainly was Molly.
Their plight might have been summed up in a perversion of Gilbert's lines "Twenty voteless millions we, Voteless all against our will, Twenty years hence we shall be Twenty voteless millions still." And of course the great idea for their master-stroke of strategy came from a masculine source.
Mark is there with his pen uplifted; he and the Lion are looking each other earnestly in the face, disputing about the way to spell a word the Lion looks up in rapt admiration while St. Mark spells. This is wonderfully interpreted by the artist. It is the master-stroke of this imcomparable painting. I visited the place daily, and never grew tired of looking at that grand picture.
There must have been aeons before the dawn even of conscious animism, and the experiment of trying sympathetic magic was, when first attempted, probably regarded as a master-stroke of genius.
For the man's sake He must show His love to win and change him. For man's sake He must show His hate of sin that man, too, might know its hatefulness and learn to hate it with intensest hate. His love for man is to be the measure of man's hate for sin. The death of Jesus was God's master-stroke. At one stroke He told man His estimate of man and His estimate of man's sin; His love and His hate.
Let them say I wish to revolutionize society I declare to you, Richie boy, delightful to my heart though I find your keen stroke of repartee, still your fellow who takes the thrust gracefully, knows when he's traversed by a master-stroke, and yields sign of it, instead of plunging like a spitted buffalo and asking us to admire his agility you follow me?
Owing, of course, to the absence of scope at home the Scot has had to seek his career abroad. A master-stroke this, probably the first dinner of its kind in Britain, and no doubt more highly appreciated by the honored guests than an advance in wages. Splendid workmen do not live upon wages alone. Appreciation felt and shown by their employer, as in this case, is the coveted reward.
How cool and delicious it is in here and the superb roses Ah yes! the old Castellux cup. I remember it perfectly; your father once gave me a sip from its rim when I was a young fellow. And now tell me how is our genius? What a master-stroke is his last the whole country is ringing with it. How did you get hold of him?" "Very easily.
