"But, if you had, you know," said Lady Agatha, "one would scarcely have cared to stay in there with it." "Loge has outgeneraled me," murmured Cleggett, well-nigh frantic with self-reproach. "While he made the attack in front, he sent some of his men to the rear of the vessel and it was quietly made off with while we were fighting."
Suddenly Blaine, who had tumbled to the ground at the first landing, now sat up, his own revolver pointed straight at the German. "Throw down that gun!" he announced in clear, steady tones. "Quick! No nonsense, Fritz!" One brief stare. Then, realizing that he had been outgeneraled, he sullenly obeyed.
Besides, I have the satisfaction of knowing that once in my life I outgeneraled a man two men and whether they were friends or foes I care not now. I was wearing an officer's white cork helmet at the time, and possibly that helped matters a little. But why did they call to us why beckon for us to come down? It was my birthday too. That evening Mrs.
Dinks, on her side, knowing the limitations of Alfred's income, and believing in the Newt resources, did not wish to divert from him any kindness of the Newts. So she outgeneraled Mrs. Dagon again.

Whatever he supposed the roaring car to be, instinct told him that safety lay among the rocks and he led us there as straight as an arrow's flight.
In "a hard-fought battle, fierce, obstinate, sanguinary," the Federals were worsted; and such consolation as the people got from the gallantry of the troops was more than offset by the fact, which became obvious so soon as the whole story was known, that our generals ought to have avoided the engagement and were outgeneraled both in the bringing it on and in the conducting it.
