Please give me an  example of committing shefichas damim in a "subtle"  
manner.<<

Sarah saw Yishmael "playing" with Yitzchak.  Yishmael played a  William Tell 
kind of game with Yitzchak, playing with his bow and arrow in such  a way that 
Yitzchak's life was in imminent danger while Yishmael was maintaining  
plausible deniability -- arranging a terrible "accident" for his dear  little 
brother.   He had not yet actually committed a murder but he  was already a murderer 
in the making -- which Sarah saw, and Avraham did  not.
