Tatoeba + Wiktionary

All the sweet talk was just a ruse to get her into bed.

Source: tatoeba (553041)

It could just be a ruse.

Source: tatoeba (3821073)

It was not done by a German. The A, if you noticed, was printed somewhat after the German fashion. Now a real German invariably prints in the Latin character, so that we may safely say that this was not written by one, but by a clumsy imitator who overdid his part. It was simply a ruse to divert inquiry into a wrong channel.
