obtained by guile/trickery/manipulation Explanation: Depends on the methods used. In such tough and unfortunate circumstances, people had to resort to all kinds of the above...and then some more...if they had the talents. Charm might also have been used ..but I suppose that would come under "manipulation. HTH:-) |

smuggled through the back door Explanation: I would prefer this as it is closer to the literal truth. Using finagled and back door could be confusing because it suggests a metaphor for something more complicated (and so English readers might think they are missing something). |
