Before long, the Duchess, with her partner, Lady Glencora, won the game, which fact, however, was, I think, owing rather to Alice's ignorance than to her Grace's skill.

Pilate soon saw that the charge was trumped up, and sought in every way, while keeping the good-will of the people, to escape the responsibility of giving sentence against Jesus. It was during the progress of the early examination that Peter was drawn into his denials by the comments made by the bystanders on his connection with the accused.

Common sense said go and take up my berth on the American steamer, and quit crying for the moon now that it had bounced out of reach again.
So they finally made up their minds to bring me over here, and as they feared I might, if I returned, peach as to their hiding-place, they trumped up this story about me, and handed me over to the French to take care of."

Moiselet was very curious to know my history, and that which I trumped up was exactly adapted to inspire the confidence I wished to create.
He was so frank that she had not quite the courage to confess in turn why she had come, but trumped up an excuse. "Well, mother," he said promptly, "I have made an engagement with Mr. Lapham." "Have you, Tom?" she asked faintly. "Yes.
"You don't know how often I've wanted to come and see you," he said, unashamedly, delighted that Luke was out of the way and he could play in his fashion the same as Beatrice did in hers.
