This man, this mock ambassador, this Comte de la Seine, is the only one with whom we have to do an impostor who shall meet with the trickster's fate." "But your Majesty " said the chamberlain eagerly. "My Majesty, Hurst, is going to work his own will, and as he will." "But, Sire, you will be just?" "Yes, Hurst, as I always am. I grant that you may still be wrong, and we will clear this up."
But in the interests of justice "Old Bogle" and Mr. Hawkins became acquainted, much to the advantage of the latter, as he happened to meet Bogle in the witness-box, a place where the counsel unravelled the trickster's most subtle of designs.
At this his father-in-law could do nothing but have another fowl killed and give him supper; he was naturally astonished at the Trickster's powers of dreaming and insisted that he must certainly go and try his luck at finding the Raja's stolen money.
So far from seeking to "pettifogulize" i.e., to find evasions for any purpose in a trickster's minute tortuosities of construction exactly in the opposite direction, from mere excess of sincerity, most unwillingly I found, in almost every body's words, an unintentional opening left for double interpretations.

And Muztagh did come trumpeting crashing like an avalanche, with Langur Dass hard after him afraid, now that he had done the trick. And hot on the trail of Langur Dass ran Ahmad Din, with his knife drawn not meaning to let that prize be lost to him at less than the cost of the trickster's life. But it was not written that the knife should ever enter the flesh of Langur Dass.
Napoleon was delighted at Murat's exploit, which greatly furthered his pursuit of the allies, and he at once restored that Marshal to high favour. But those who placed gentlemanly conduct above the glamour of a trickster's success were not slow, even then, to express their disapproval of this act of perfidy.
