The memory of the pitiful subterfuges to which she and her dead mother had been forced to resort in the hope of saving her from the merciless hands of the beast of prey who had ruined so utterly their lives, was something that seemed to belong to some hideous nightmare. For perhaps the first time since the iron of life had entered into her woman's soul she wanted to fall to a-weeping.
But these subterfuges are no longer available; the moment is urgent, and you will no longer deceive the sections, the army, or the eighty-three departments.
The fascination which Madame de la Fontaine exerted over his senses was too strong for him even to contemplate resisting it.

Jealousy of Constantia's happiness, envy of her escape, ruled her then: and she remembered the cry, though not perfectly her plain-speaking to herself: she chose to think she had meant: If Willoughby were capable of truly loving! For now the fire of her brain had sunk, and refuges and subterfuges were round about it.
The inevitable outcome, naturally, is that the Island must be the wandering-place of myriads of spirits possessing no recognised standing, and driven by want having none to transmit them offerings to the most degraded subterfuges.
It was by brave and open means our king taught his soldiers the way to victory, not by mean subterfuges and little plots: I cannot therefore conceive for what reason I am brought hither to be examined on any score that has the appearance of a conspiracy.
