He had humbled Francis, but Henry had most signally avenged his father. He had trampled upon Philip of Hesse and Frederic of Saxony, but it had been reserved for one of that German race, which he characterized as "dreamy, drunken, and incapable of intrigue," to outwit the man who had outwitted all the world, and to drive before him, in ignominious flight, the conqueror of the nations.
The western pony that she had ridden the previous winter had demonstrated nearly all the tricks known to the stubborn broncos of the great west. At first Grace had had some bad spills, but eventually she learned to outwit her pony and ride him no matter how savagely he tried to unhorse her.
He speaks before he is born, and no sooner has he entered the world than he begins to outwit other people and get possession of their property. He works bitter ruin for the cannibals, who, with all their strength and fleetness, are no better endowed with quick wit than the Trolls, whom Boots invariably victimizes. On one of his journeys, Uthlakanyana fell in with a cannibal.
But yet yet what if she should be deceiving him? To be able to deceive others, but never to be deceived himself, was to him, unconsciously, the glory which he desired. To be deceived was to be disgraced. What was all his wit and acknowledged cunning if a girl a Christian girl could outwit him?
"Aye, but where's your proof the 'Faithful Friend' is blown up " "And by your hand, like as not." "True again, so it was, Martin, and thereby did I outwit Tressady and saved the lives of my own people." "You have been at great pains to befool me to your evil ends." "At no pains, Martin, 'twas purely simple matter!" "You have been the death of divers men on this island."
I have been insured a great many times, for about a month at a time, but have had no luck with it at all. So I made up my mind that I would outwit this man at his own game. I let him talk straight ahead and encouraged him all I could, until he finally left me with a sheet of questions which I was to answer as an applicant.
Then a ripple of merriment, growing into a guffaw, advised her that something out of the ordinary was occurring. "The scoundrel!" Hannibal Wharton cried. Merkle observed dryly: "He's won your thousand. I withdraw what I said about him; it requires a gigantic intelligence to outwit you." To Lorelei he added: "This will be considered a great joke on Broadway." "That is Mr. Wharton's son?"
The stranger who came to their city succeeded as he helped them in their purposes, and failed if they could not use him. A great editor or bishop was a man who taught their doctrines; a great statesman was a man who made the laws for them; a great lawyer was one who helped them to outwit the public.
Then I brought him a cup of water from a pail that stood near by. "Drink it," I said, "and when food is sent you, eat what you can. Your race is not over, and if you wish to trick and outwit us, as you were planning when I found you lying here, you will need more strength than you are showing now. I have but one more question. You must tell me your name." For a moment he did not reply.
