He made a feint, and then a couple of quick strides towards her, and this time caught her by the wrist; but in her dread and horror she wrenched it away, and struck him sharply across the face as she would have struck at some noxious beast; and as he started back in surprise, she bounded to the door, and tried to wrench it open.
"One Maid's Mischief"
George Manville Fenn

"Hetty Wesley"
Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch
A feint here, and a block there, and before anyone knows what's happening, we're through their defenses.
"Tangle Hold"
F. L. Wallace
