Foxily

I close with what Franklin so foxily said about the Reverend Whitefield, whose oral sermons were so fine but whose habit of writing them down exposed him to fierce textual criticism: "Opinions [delivered] in Preaching might have been afterwards explain'd, or qualify'd by supposing others that might have accompany'd them; or they might have been deny'd; But litera scripta manet." ❋ Unknown (2005)

The speaker, Peithon, was a short wiry man with a foxily pointed, rufous face and a sharp foxy bark. ❋ Renault, Mary, 1905-1983 (1981)

Seleukos had answered him in monosyllables; Peithon had looked foxily under his reddish brows and down his pointed nose, saying this or that, but none of what he thought; Archias, though known to be in camp, had not reported at all. ❋ Renault, Mary, 1905-1983 (1981)

He rubbed his eyes with his fingers a moment and then grinned foxily: "Ain't that enough?" ❋ William Allen White (1906)

Jill St John is a feisty, foxily feline Tiffany Case, invoking the chutzpah of the character from the novel. ❋ Unknown (2009)

And as he rode into London, it seemed to him as though some wise power put it into his heart what he should do; for he rode by the sign of a maker of rich glass for church windows; and at once a thought darted into his mind; and going in, he sought out the master of the shop, and told him that he had lost a jewel from a crown, a jewel of price, and that he was ashamed that the crown should lack it; and he asked if he could make him a jewel of glass to set in its place; and he described the jewel, how large it was and how dull outside, and its fiery heart; and the craftsman smiled shrewdly and foxily, and told him to return on the third day, and he should have his will. ❋ Arthur Christopher Benson (1893)
