The district, usually so deserted, was alive with all sorts of people, among them Rabbis and men learned in the law, who represented themselves as penitents, but desired to outwit the prophet with cunning.
As he spoke these fateful words, he clearly foresaw the difficulties and dangers and possible tragedy of reaction and intrigue that would soon exert themselves in Paris, perhaps to outwit him and if possible to prevent the consummation of the idea that lay so close to his heart: that of setting up a concert of powers that would make for ever impossible a war such as we had just passed through.
Little Miss Bella hath so much pretty attire. I do suppose she would be astray in a Quaker frock. Well, what can we do? Mr. Henry, we shall outwit thee, never fear." "Madam Wetherill hath refused me already," he answered. "But she was merciful." "And I brought him hither for consolation. An old woman's refusal cannot be so heart-breaking as that of a young lass."
Fortunately for me his antagonist would play no more, and I was left to reflect that my calculations and avaricious arts to rob fools and outwit knaves were as crude as they were contemptible. Wrung as I was to the heart, I was ashamed of having it supposed that the loss of my hundred guineas in the least affected me.

They adapt themselves quickly to changed conditions; they outwit their enemies by sheer cunning, never in physical combat; rarely do they defend themselves and not once have I known one to take the offensive side of a fray. Watching them waddling along, one wonders how they accomplish their great engineering feats in so short a time.
I was like one bewitched, and thought these very birds were discussing us. The greenfinch said: "Old Mouillard, look! Here's Princess Goldenlocks at your garden gate." The tomtit said: "Look out, old man, or she'll outwit you." The blackbird said: "I have heard of her from my grandfather, who lived in the Champs Elysees. She was much admired there."
To outwit such practices the company not only printed their name on the dials of their watches but they carefully printed the exact price on the boxes in which they were packed. You would have thought this would have forever put at an end any foul play, wouldn't you?
