True, the proud blood of the outwitted lioness urged her to resist this profanation, and Proculejus an enviable honour made her feel the superior strength of his arm. I am no prophet, but Dion, I repeat, this shameful struggle and the glances which flashed upon him will be remembered to his dying hour. Had they been darted at me, I should have cursed my life.
Suddenly, as if they had been swallowed by the earth, he was left alone in the dark, nonplussed and outwitted. Not a point of light was visible, and settling himself against the wall of a building, Sam started in for an all-night watch. He understood the case at once. Chip had been knocked down by the renegades, and, probably still insensible, had been carried to their haunt.
If there were any prospect of a reconciliation with my friends, I should not have so much regard for my pride, as to be afraid of any body's knowing how much I have been outwitted as you call it.

Larry the Bat, a known inmate of the house, might come and go as he pleased but to emerge from the Sanctuary in the person of Jimmie Dale would be fatal. Kline had been outwitted, but Kline had not acknowledged final defeat. The tenement had been searched from top to bottom unostentatiously.
“You dogs!” he cried, “what trick have you been practising against the soldiers of Rome?” However, expostulation and reproach were bootless; nor would it answer here to go into the quarrel which ensued over the dead body. The magistrates, having got scent of Calphurnius’s scheme, had outwitted the tribune by assigning an earlier hour than was usual for the execution.
Instead of deputing that mad dolt Pepin of Minorbino, had I myself deserted the Hungarian, and repaired with my soldiery to Rome, the fall of Rienzi would have been followed by the rise of Montreal.
