He told you to go ahead and act as you saw best. You notified the police, speciously directing suspicion to the ex-convict in the bank's employ. You knew Moyne was dining out to-night, you knew where and at a hint from you the police took up the trail.
Numb in numb thoughts, even though he was extremely cold in the air conditioned car he did not notice it all that much with his face warm and flushed by thought, which kept trying to suck him in and flatten him in its black hole of memory memory as of her falling from a balcony; a woman's form, white and light to him as beautiful as an angel that seemed speciously able to rapture into a billowing cloud overhead.
It had been at first proposed that one-eighth of their respective estates should be allowed for the future support of the Directors; but it was speciously urged, that in the various shades of opulence and guilt such an unequal proportion would be too light for many, and for some might possibly be too heavy.
"Is that all you have to say?" said Micah. "That is all." "Then I bid you farewell, Eustace St. Clair, Lord of Dunseveric. You have spoken well and pleaded speciously for yourself and your class.
It was with the sullen repulsion of a vegetarian who finds a caterpillar in his salad that he now sat glaring at them. The title had seemed so promising overnight so full of strenuous possibilities.

He dropped unuttered the elaborate exordium he had been preparing on the tendency of young men to be led astray by speciously pleading schemers, and found himself replying mildly to questions about himself and various old friends of his, whom Drusus had known as a boy before he went to Athens. But finally the young man interrupted this pacific discourse with the query:

But it ain't to be expected I'd set around waitin' on him and let them danged Mexicans rustle my calves. They'll do it if they git half a show now I'm tellin' yuh!"
