I'll find the weak spot in his armor. There must be something we can put over on him." "By fair means or foul," insisted Uncle Martin as they paused at the parting of their ways. "Low-down, underhanded work do you get what I mean?" "I do, I do!" declared young Mr. Evans and broke once more into the buoyant stride of an earlier moment.
Perhaps you'll believe now, Bobby, that the man has had an underhanded purpose in staying here." "I've made too many hasty judgments in my life, Hartley. I'll go slow on this. I'll wait until we see what we find at the lake." Rawlins snapped off his light. The little party paused at the black entrance of the path into the thicket.

This feather so to call it is not thrown through the air, but is flung with an underhanded throw and made to strike the ground a little way in front of the thrower; then it glances and makes a long skip; glances again, skips again, and again and again, like the flat stone which a boy sends skating over the water.
