Then they were both quite still. The moonlight was silvery clear, and they could see pines, oaks, and cedars waving in a gentle wind, but they saw nothing else. Yet Dick was well aware that the Sioux had not abandoned the chase; they knew well where the boys lay, and were all about them in the woods. "Keep close, Albert," he said. "Indians are sly, and the Sioux are the slyest of them all.
'I must get Merdle's doctor to catch and secure him, I suppose, said Ferdinand; 'and then I must lay hold of my illustrious kinsman, and decoy him if I can drag him if I can't to the conference. 'Since you do me the honour, said Bar, with his slyest smile, to ask for my poor aid, it shall be yours with the greatest pleasure. I don't think this is to be done by one man.
And old Etienne Garcia, at the 'Cor d'Abondance' in Granville, is the very slyest rogue in France. When you find a Crapaud who is dead to rights, he is always an out and outer. I'll square you with my old pal, Etienne, who slyly makes 'floaters' and then gets the government cash reward for towing them in.
"Such an estimable man! such an old neighbor! so domestic in his tastes! and, oh! so wise to find out and make his own the slyest and most bewildering little beauty that has come into New York this many a season!" These were some of her words, and, though pleasing at the time, they made me think deeply much more deeply than I wished to, after I went upstairs to my room.

When the Corn Engrosser had told this, Robin broke into a roar of laughter and, laying his hands upon the bridle rein, stopped the sad-looking nag. "Stay, good friend," quoth he, between bursts of merriment, "thou art the slyest old fox that e'er I saw in all my life! In the soles of his shoon, quotha! If ever I trust a poor-seeming man again, shave my head and paint it blue!
Carefully running his eye over the ground, he was confident that the slyest and most stealthy Indian that ever lived could not approach within a hundred feet of him without detection. "And the minute I'm certain its a red-skin, that minute I'll let him have it," he added, instinctively grasping his rifle.
As for difference of religion, we allow for one another, neither having been brought up in a bitterly pious manner. Here, though the tears were in my eyes, at the loving things love said of me, I could not help a little laugh at the notion of any bitter piety being found among the Doones, or even in mother, for that matter. Lorna smiled, in her slyest manner, and went on again:
When the street-door was shut, Monsieur Hochon, little suspecting the intimacy between his grandsons and Max, threw one of his slyest looks at his wife and Agathe, remarking, "He is just as capable of writing that note as I am of giving away twenty-five louis; it is the soldier who is corresponding with us!" "What does that portend?" asked Madame Hochon. "Well, never mind; we will answer him.
"But truly, my lady," continued I, seeing that she was making up a face at me, "thou knowest I've naught in common with ghosts." "Ay," quoth she. "And thou knowest the like of me. But" and here stops she, with the slyest tip of her frowzed curls towards the house "thou knowest also this, Butter, that his lordship, my brother, thinks as doth Marian, thy wife, and that therein we four cannot agree."
