Huffy Henryhid the day,
unappeasable Henry sulked.
I see his point,—a trying to put things over.
It was the thought that they thought
they could do it made Henry wicked & away.
But he should have come out and talked.
for “put over,” the  OED  gives “ colloq. (orig. U.S.)  to inflict a defeat or gain an advantage on a person; to get the better of someone,” as well as “ trans.  To present convincingly or effectively; to communicate, convey”—under which is noted a felicitous example from a 2006 issue of the Halifax  Courier : “Even though he is not the best singer in the business at least he puts over the songs with feeling.”
