"His head is too deliciously soft and warm, Stefan; do kiss it good- night." His face contracted into an expression of distaste. "No," he said, "I can't kiss babies," and left the room. She felt terribly, unnecessarily hurt. It was so difficult for her to make advances, so fatally easy for him to rebuff them. After that, she did not draw the baby to his attention again.
Needham, as they alighted and went into the hall. "I see everyone is in their best bibs and tuckers; isn't it a lovely house! Ah! many a poor author's brain has paid toll to provide all this." "I suppose so." "Miss Bradley is in the conservatory," said a polite butler, and into a deliciously fragrant conservatory they were ushered.
Dear old boy, it was not much of a life for him, going about alone, sitting down to his meals with only a trained nurse for company! Shut away so deliciously from the world with her husband and sons, enjoying the very helplessness that forced her to lean so heavily upon him, she had forgotten how hard it was for Greg!
A little time after Ebn Thaher and he had seated themselves, a very handsome black slave brought in a table covered with several delicacies, the admirable smell of which evinced how deliciously they were seasoned. While they were eating, the slave who brought them in waited upon them; she took particular care to invite them to eat of what she knew to be the greatest dainties.
Far from imitating his predecessors, who, soon convinced of the vanity of their pursuits, had consoled themselves elsewhere, Germain had deliciously enjoyed his intimacy with the girl, passing with her not only Sundays, but every evening that he was not occupied.

In the end he folded it up, and put it under a meteoric stone, shaped like a fungus, which during their honeymoon he had found on the sand-dunes of the Heligoland coast. The servant knocked, and brought in the coffee. He had found the senior-lieutenant's bed untouched, and his face showed his surprise. The coffee was too hot, but the water in the carafe was deliciously cold.
It was only fair to warn the important, bustling matron a trifle in advance of the rest of the world. Rachael had had a long night's sleep; she already began to feel deliciously young and free. She was to spend a few nights at the Havilands', and the next week supposedly go to the Princes' at Bar Harbor; really she planned to disappear for a time from her world.
And how sweetly she would lecture him on the way home from school about learning his spellings better, and wind up her sermon with the frank avowal, uttered with deliciously downcast lids, that she liked him better than any of the other boys after all, even if he couldn't spell as well as they could.
It is a question whether at any other period of his life with one possible exception he was more completely interested and, for that reason, satisfied.

A few days more, and he heard that commencement was at hand.
