"But you said you wanted to die," said the surprised cook. Mr. Lister swore at him with startling vigour. "I'll 'ave you 'ung," he repeated, wildly. "Me," said the cook, artlessly. "What for?"
There was neither servility nor scorn in her manner of doing this; it was a simple sign of the goodwill by which the poor, who know by long experience the value of a service and the warmth that fellowship brings, give expression to the open-heartedness and the natural impulses of their souls; so artlessly do they reveal their good qualities and their defects.
'I want to be told, after all, did they write the letter to say Donogan was to be let escape? 'Would it have been a great crime, uncle? said Nina artlessly. 'I'm not going into that. I'm only asking what the people over us say is the best way to govern us. I'd like to know, once for all, what was wrong and what was right in Ireland.

Her skin was rather coarse in texture and darkish in colour, her eyes were narrow and slightly turned upwards at the corners; no! she was distinctly not pretty. Yet she pleased the men!

Tredgold, discovering a bank-note and a little collection of gold coins in another pocket, artlessly expressed his joy at the discovery. The simple-minded captain and Mr. Chalk both experienced a sense of relief; Miss Drewitt sat and simmered in helpless indignation.

We will talk of something more pleasant. Tell me about your shipwreck, and that place, Aberalva, is it not? What a pretty name!" Tom told her, wondering then, and wondering long afterwards, how she had "settled it" with her father. She chatted on artlessly enough, till the old man came in, and to dinner, in capital humour, without saying one word of Elsley.
Aue! There was a headache query!
