With this, he lugged out his slashing cutlass, and in a mighty heat came out of the ship to cut the cozening varlets into steaks, but they scampered away and got out of sight in a trice.
She is still in the position of a dependent to-day because her mate has refused to consider her as an individual apart from his needs. She is still bound because she has in the past left the solution of the problem to him. Having left it to him, she finds that instead of rights, she has only such privileges as she has gained by petitioning, coaxing and cozening.
In this way I hoped to pour oil on troubled waters and to trick the accursed loon, so haply I might get quit of him; but he said, "Thou art cozening me and thou wouldst go alone to thy appointment and cast thyself into jeopardy, whence there will be no escape for thee. Now by Allah! and again by Allah! do not go till I return, that I may accompany thee and watch the issue of thine affair."
She erred in ignorance and inexperience; but he against the bitter fruit of knowledge, in wilful tampering with truth reluctantly, misgivingly selfishly cozening his conscience, hardening himself in unbelief, applying salve to the old vital stab to his independence.
Seeing that the good wine was doing its work, Odysseus lost no time in telling his name.

'Have you forgotten, Phil, the anger we met with, when we dealt with the gipsy at Hurst Fair? 'Pshaw, Berry, we are past flogging now. 'Out of reach, Phil, of the rod, but scarce of the teaching it struck into us. 'What? said Philip, sulkily. 'That divining is either cozening manor forsaking God, Phil.
