No, you can't have this one. You can have one of these:

Mary cleverly gave an excuse to the teacher. (not particularly idiomatic, but possible)
OR

You thought right.

If you want to remember this expression, hold your arms out in front of you, bend your elbows so that your hands meet. You've formed a circle. Anything within that circular space is "in your arms".

It's corny, but it could help you remember "in your arms".
