The feeling of the Ferrarese towards the ruling house was a strange compound of silent dread, of the truly Italian sense of well-calculated interest, and of the loyalty of the modern subject: personal admiration was transferred into a new sentiment of duty.
The Carthaginians did every thing in the prosecution of this war that the most desperate valor could do; but Scipio's cool, steady, and well-calculated plans made irresistible progress, and hemmed them in at last, within narrower and narrower limits, by a steadily-increasing pressure, from which they found it impossible to break away.
He stood by the wheel of the cart, looking up at her and protesting, and I joined him. "Thank you," she returned, "I need no one. You will both oblige me by saying no more about it." "John!" It was the slow, well-calculated utterance of Hortense Rieppe. Did I hear in it the caressing note of love? John turned.
Much of the romance surrounding crime and criminals, on examination, "fades into the light of common day" the obvious product not of idealism, but of well-calculated self-interest. * Much more likely in Italy than in the United States.

A well-calculated shot from behind a sheltering boulder, the heaving of the body into the swift torrent of the Pannikin, and the thing was done.
He took her out to dinner, with elaborate courtesy, and divided his attentions between his partner and his hostess with mathematical precision, beaming now upon Viola, now upon Kate, with such well-calculated intervals that Serviss broke into a broad smile. "You find yourself well placed, Dr. Weissmann?" "Well placed and well pleased," he responded, quickly, "with no thanks to you, I suspect."
She sympathized with it now, for a little comfort had restored her geniality. Speech and silence pleased her equally, and while Mr. Wilcox made some preliminary inquiries about cheese, her eyes surveyed the restaurant, and admired its well-calculated tributes to the solidity of our past.
Bacon was nervous about Essex's capacity for war, a capacity which perhaps was not proved, even by the most brilliant exploit of the time, the capture of Cadiz, in which Essex foreshadowed the heroic but well-calculated audacities of Nelson and Cochrane, and showed himself as little able as they to bear the intoxication of success, and to work in concert with envious and unfriendly associates.
