But Ixtli merely sighed, then spoke in sad tones, explaining how he alone had been taken wholly into the confidence of the Sun Children. Even the captain of their guards knew Victo and Glady as but descendants of the great Fair God whom the audacious trickery of a rival sent far away from the land of his favoured people, to find an abiding-place in the sun itself. "He good brave.
Larkins, as a less suspected place; and that it was conveyed in various sums, no two people ever returning twice with the various payments which made up that sum of 23,000l. or thereabouts. Now do you want an instance of prevarication and trickery in an account? If any person should inquire whether 23,000l. had been paid by Cheyt Sing to Mr.
Yes, to any one but Lupin, but not to Lupin. As he had foreseen, I guess the trickery of the chapel, I discover the crypt and I go down into the lair where Lupin has taken refuge. His corpse is there! Any person who had admitted the death of Lupin as possible would have been baffled. Pretense thereupon became useless and every scheme vain.
The whole affair was conducted with such clamourings, wild talk, trickery, detraction and cunning that, had I not been present and witnessed, nay, felt all this, I should never have taken any man's word for it that theologians could act so madly. You would have thought it some mortal plague.
"Do that, Pan. That'll shore shut them up." Pan found himself impelled to do as he was bidden, which action raised a howl of mirth from the cowboys. And so at that early age Panhandle Smith was initiated into the hilarity and trickery and spirit common to these carefree riders of the ranges. When the roundup began he found that he was far from forgotten. "Come on, Pan," shouted one.
When he ran across some rare and precious piece, or something that merely appealed to his individual taste, he derived an intense joy out of employing all his trickery, his readiness of speech, his persuasive powers, to beat down the price of the coveted object. It was a battle in which he chose to come out conqueror.
However, the veil which concealed the truth was becoming more and more transparent every day. Three bankruptcies had diminished the consideration he enjoyed, and people began to listen to complaints and accusations which till now had been considered mere inventions designed to injure him. Another attempt at trickery made him feel it desirable to leave the neighbourhood.
"Nature instantly ebbed again; the film returned to its place; the pulse fluttered stopped went on throbbed stopped again moved, stopped. Shall I go on? No." Let those admire this who can. To me I confess it seems to spoil a touching and simple death-bed scene by a piece of theatrical trickery.
It is perhaps in the multitude of the stories, paradoxical though it seem, that lies the strength. It is like the broom: one straw does not make, nor does the loss of one destroy it; somewhere in the mass lies the quality of broom. In a way Till is the Ulysses of German folk-lore, the hero of trickery, a kind of Reinecke Fuchs in real life. But he is of the soil as none of the others.
He has heard of the intended marriage, and begs passionately that she shall not sacrifice herself, ending with a cavatina a cavatina by Richard Wagner! in vain. But Vanderdecken has heard all from the wings another bit of old-fashioned stage trickery, like the "asides" and resolves that Senta shall not sacrifice herself. "For ever lost," he cries, realizing that he is renouncing his last chance.
