"That I could not indeed," said Philometor modestly, "but I know and admire your swift intelligence and accurate memory." "You see I am more fit for a king than you are;" laughed Euergetes. "You are too gentle and debonair for a throne! Hand over your government to me. I will fill your treasury every year with gold.
The white bull no longer white now, but black and silver in the moonlight stood for some seconds quite motionless, his head low, his broad and massive antlers thrust forward, his feet planted firmly and apart. Ominous in his stillness, he waited till his light-stepping and debonair adversary was within twenty feet of him.

Yet there often came jugs and jars from friendly people, who never spoke to him of his disease they were polite and sensitive, these humble folk but sent him their home-made medicines, with assurances scrawled on paper that "it would cure Mr. Ferrol's cold, oh, absolutely." Before the Lavilettes he smiled, and received the gifts in a debonair way, sometimes making whimsical remarks.

He modestly explained that he was not much of a painter "merely used a brush for his own amusement" and then made a portrait for the Minister of State that exaggerated all of that man's good points, and ignored all his failings.
Being duly impressed with the fascination of his own debonair little person, and having the imagination of a cow, he had smirked his way to the girl, who now sat in the observation-car, and had begun on the weather. "Dreadfully warm in this desert country, isn't it?" he said, with over-politeness and the smile which he knew to be irresistible.
A number of very young men looked around at him with hostile eyes; Malcourt's brows lifted a trifle; then he shot an ironical glance at Shiela and, as the circle about her disintegrated, sauntered up, bland, debonair, to accept his congé.
The barracks of the Chasseurs was bright and clean in the morning light; in common with all Algerian barrack rooms as unlike the barrack rooms of the ordinary army as Cigarette, with her debonair devilry, smoking on a gun-wagon, was unlike a trim Normandy soubrette, sewing on a bench in the Tuileries gardens.
