But the wisdom of some men has a droll sort of KNavishness in it, much like that of a magpie, who hides what he finds with a deal of contrivance, merely for the pleasure of doing it.
"Cowper"
Goldwin Smith
And in those parts of your miserable nature where you are not a knave-for I willingly concede that no man or woman is bad all through-in those parts, I say, where your KNavishness is intermittent, you are an absolute, unmitigated fool.
"The Princess Priscilla's Fortnight"
Elizabeth von Arnim
That helps you to distinguish real KNavishness from childish faults.
"Father Payne"
Arthur Christopher Benson
