We could have trumped up some reason why you had to have a vacation." "Couldn't do it!" said the nurse, smiling and patting his arm. "I thought of it, but it wouldn't work. I have to be at the hospital to-morrow for a very important operation. There isn't anybody else in the hospital could very well take my place.
If this were all that Shaynon could have trumped up to discomfit him ! He looked that one over with the curling lip of contempt. "I believe it's no crime to enter where you've not been invited, provided you don't force door or window to do it," he observed. "You admit eh?" the manager broke in excitedly "you have no card of invitation, what?"
On the Jew, Yaff, Masha, the deacon, the Cossack-thief, all his neighbours, the whole world, himself? His brain was giving way. The last card was trumped! And as to the service the jade could be to him!... as though he would ever deign to get astride of him? Never! on no consideration!!... He would sell him to a Tartar for dog's meat it deserved no better end.... Yes, that would be best!
A foul accusation had been trumped up against him by enemies in the regiment; he was alleged to have stolen letters belonging to officers. In part it was true. He had bribed a servant to get those three letters which he sent her, that she might be saved from the fate that he dreaded for her.
"In that case I shall go to Dr Jolliffe, and put the matter in his hands," replied Crawley. "Well, I do not mind coming to hear what cock-and-bull story you have trumped up," muttered Saurin, turning away. He feared lest an unguarded word should betray him. His anxiety was terrible. What did Crawley know? What was mere conjecture?
Hurrying the two Englishmen to another part of the fort, M. Groseillers bade me run for Radisson. I wish that you could have seen the triumphant glint laughing in Pierre Radisson's eyes when I told him. "Fate deals the cards! 'Tis we must play them! This time the jade hath trumped her partner's ace! Ha, ha, Ramsay! We could 'a' captured both father and son with a flip o' the finger!
"I understand that this is no place to discuss the matter. I haven't come here to do so. I apologize for the affair. I'm going to say this to you I took your mother's advice. She planned the thing and trumped up the errand which called you to that house. I'm afraid she is rather too romantic. I only say this, Kate: a man's love can make him do foolish things.
Catchpole, you see afore you the biggest liar as ever was, and one as deserves to go to hell, if ever any man did. Everything agin Mr. Catchpole was all trumped up, for he never had Humphries' money, and it was me as put the marked sovereign in his pocket. I was tempted by the devil and by but the Lord 'as 'ad mercy on me and 'as saved my body and soul this day.
"Oh, that nine is the best, Miss Brown! You trumped it " Susan brought her attention to the game again. When the cards were finally laid down, tea followed, and Susan must pour it. After that she ran up to her room to find Emily there, dressing for dinner. "Oh, Sue, there you are! Listen, Mama wants you to go in and see her a minute before dinner," Emily said. "I am dead!"
She had to be called five minutes before each play, and the way she trumped my ace the first time around was enough to drive a person dippy. Once she mentioned her husband's diamond-studded airship. Poor old lady! Probably took a double dose by mistake. How careless! Everybody was making a great fuss over some girl who is lecturing throughout the country on "Man as Woman Sees Him."
