Well, it will be a long, long day before either of those two fragments falls into German hands." "Oh, Mr. Cleek, you think you can get the stolen paper back? You believe you can outwit those dreadful people and save the Baron de Carjorac's honour and his life?" "Miss Lorne" he took her hand in his and lifted it to his lips "Miss Lorne, I thank you for giving me the chance!
He confessed to himself, unreservedly, that Hastings had tricked him, held him up to ridicule to the ridicule of a nation, for this crime held the interest of the entire country. But here was his chance for revenge! With this "smart" woman's help, he would outwit Hastings!
One of the most glaring instances of the effective manner in which the Germans sought to disarm and to outwit an official visitor was narrated to me by a fellow-prisoner who had been transferred from Sennelager to Ruhleben. I conclude that the incident must have happened, during the interregnum when I was "free on Pass" in Cologne.
'The low buffoon! Sergius muttered to himself. 'Who would have thought that, half drunken as he was, he would have had the wit to select a slave worth double the sum which had been staked against him, and one whom I had obtained with such trouble, and for my own purposes?

It is enough to drive any one out of his senses. But let us see if we can't outwit the crafty Oleander. Put your bonnet on and come." Mollie paused suddenly, and looked first at him, then at Mrs. Susan Sharpe, then back again. "Well, Miss Dane," said Mr. Ingelow, "you're not afraid to come with me?"

And he understood too the sea's game, and that the only way to outwit it would be to use the beast's own tactics.
"Now let's drive the other fellows off the map during these remaining two weeks." How those men did work! No man on that car overslept during the rest of the trip. Phil seemed not to know the meaning of the word "tired." All hours of the night found him on duty, either watching the movements of his car or laying out work ahead, planning and scheming to outwit his rivals.
The bird would know, or think he knew, that I would not hang up such a scare, in the expectation that it would pass for a man, and deceive a bird; and he would therefore look for a deeper plot. I expected to outwit the bird by a duplicity that was simplicity itself I may have over-calculated the sagacity and reasoning power of the bird.
Not only did he derive, as all true soldiers must, an intense intellectual pleasure from handling his troops in battle so as to outwit and defeat his adversary, but from the day he first smelt powder in Mexico until he led that astonishing charge through the dark depths of the Wilderness his spirits never rose higher than when danger and death were rife about him.
Of course, it's out of the question to do it by force, and we must outwit the savages. This I think possible, for the good reason that it has so often been done.
