He was so green that he thought her a stick, and so he went elsewhere and took up with streetwalkers, who treated him to all sorts of nastiness, while she, on her part, made up for it beautifully with fellows who were a lot slyer than her greenhorn of a husband. And things always turn out that way through people not understanding one another. I know it, I do!" Muffat was growing pale.
"Ay, marry, will I join with you all," quoth the Tinker, "for I love a merry life, and I love thee, good master, though thou didst thwack my ribs and cheat me into the bargain. Fain am I to own thou art both a stouter and a slyer man than I; so I will obey thee and be thine own true servant." So all turned their steps to the forest depths, where the Tinker was to live henceforth.
"Preehaps mes own veddin' vill foller ver' quick," said Le Rue, with a sly glance at Elise, as he assisted Rooney to suspend the big pot on its appropriate hook. "Troth then. I can't compliment the taste o' the poor girl as takes 'ee," replied Rooney, with a still slyer glance at Elise.
"Call Monsieur de Robertet," he said to Lewiston, "for this young scamp is slyer than an old statesman; he has managed to deceive my brother, and me too; an hour ago I would have given him the sacrament without confession."

Chile, dey's worse'n what I was, only dey's more slyer. Dat's all. "I's glad I'se got 'ligion, 'cause when I dies I's gwine to de 'Good Place."
Golly he'um slyer than a possum in a hen-roost." The anxiety of the wench for the capture of her master, and her statement of a pre-knowledge of the visit of the troops, were by no means exceptional.

Yer too purty, Nell, he ses, 't' be workin' in this shop an' paradin' through the streets alone, without somebody t' give yeh good brotherly advice, an' I wanta warn yeh, Nell. I'm a bad man, but I ain't as bad as some, an' I wanta warn yeh. 'Oh, g'long 'bout yer business, I ses. I know 'im. He's like all of 'em, on'y he's a little slyer. I know 'im.
