Presently he turned again to his prisoner "Then by your own showing you were simply an accomplice of spies." "A patrol on scouting duty is a legitimate tactic of warfare, therefore those who accompanied it were not spies, and I am entitled to be treated simply as a prisoner of war, not as prey for the rabble of the town to wreak their vengeance on by roasting alive!" Again the Pasha eyed his man.
In vain, or nearly so, is Friedrich's tactic or manoeuvring talent; what now is there to manoeuvre? All is now gone up into one combustion. To fan the fire, to be here, there, fanning the fire where need shows: this is now Friedrich's function; "everywhere in the hottest of the fight," that is all we at present know of him, invisible to us otherwise.
"But Tom was acquitted," Sarah hastened to proclaim. "Just the same he lay in jail all night without bail." This was unanswerable, and Sarah executed her favorite tactic of attack in flank. "A nice come-down for you, I must say, that was raised straight an' right, a-cuttin' up didoes with a lodger." "Who says so?" Saxon blazed with an indignation quickly mastered.
His only tactic, that of lex talionis, also worked out a perfect reciprocity even in those common affairs to which this prodigy stooped in order to conquer, for he seemed to create infallibly every institution he combated and to use every weapon that he execrated when employed by others. The most fertile of law-givers himself, he could not tolerate another.
"Now," added Manicamp, "let the question be regarding the Duchess or the Duke ; very well, I shall say: Let us get into the house in some way or other, for that is a tactic which cannot in any case be unfavorable to your love affair." "Ah! "Who is Malicorne?" replied De Guiche, half-shutting his eyes, like a person reflecting, "I seem to know the name." "Know him!
The man who sees in history a divine tactic must salute the regiment in its headlong charge no less than the regiment which stands with fixed bayonets around the ark of the covenant. Said the Hindoo saint, who saw all things in God and God in all things, to the soldier who was slaying him, "And Thou also art He." The march of providence embraced 1789 as well as 1688.
I have seen many battles of greater duration and more important in result; many there have been in which more tactic was displayed, and greater combinations called forth, but never did I witness a more desperate hand-to-hand conflict than on the heights of El Bodon. Baffled by our resistance, Montbrun advanced with the Cuirassiers of the Guard.
The Vendeans, favoured by every natural advantage, had a peculiar tactic which they knew perfectly well how to apply to their position and local circumstances, and adopted a mode of fighting hitherto unknown, and practicable in that country alone.
The employees, conceiving through some fantastic logic that their jobs were as much their property as the mills or mines or factorybuildings were mine, rioted and had to be pacified the first time such a tactic was resorted to in years.
This tactic having failed, some of these gentlemen, in their meanness, and we fear we must add, malevolence, then tried to stir up the authorities to take action against Mr. Payne on the ground of public morality. Burton had long been spoiling for a fight and now was his opportunity. In season and out of season he defended Payne. He fell upon the Lane-ites like Samson upon the Philistines.
