Her relations with him had been one swift, absorbing fever a mad dream, a moment of rash impulse, a yielding to the natural feeling which her own husband had aroused: the husband who now neglected her while Barode Barouche treated her so well, until a day when under his beguilement a stormy impulse gave Carnac.

When it is the approach of their loathing that they fear, they are in the tragedy of the embrace at a breath; and then is the wrestle between themselves and horror, between themselves and evil, which promises aid; themselves and weakness, which calls on evil; themselves and the better part of them, which whispers no beguilement.

"I will, mon Gyu!" and she was off up the zigzag before he had finished. And it would have been a very different man from Peter le Pelley who could refuse the beguilement of Carette's wistful dark eyes, when her heart was set on her own way, as it generally was.

"You see," Travers said, turning with deferential politeness to the Colonel, "the day is against you." "The Old Guard dies, but never surrenders!" quoted the Colonel good-humoredly.

We are to believe he has been effectively captured? It is positively a marriage; he admits it. Where celebrated? There we are at hoodman-blind for the moment.

It could easily be shown that to use personal attractiveness recklessly to the extent of hopeless beguilement is cruel, and it may be admitted that woman ought to be held to strict responsibility for her attractiveness. The lines are indeed hard for her.
