When we had listened a long hour to this music, the Princess gazed on me as if to mark the effect of a charm, and I saw disappointment on her lovely face, and she bit her lip and looked spiteful, saying, 'Thou art far gone in the use of magic, and wary, O girl! Then she laughed unnaturally, and called slaves to bring in sweet drinks to us, and I drank with her, and became less wary, and she fondled me more, calling me tender names, heaping endearments on me; and as the hour of the middle-night approached I was losing all suspicion in deep languor, and sighed at the song of the birds, the long love-song, and dozed awake with eyes half shut.
He feigns willingness to help in the hunt, and rids himself of Masetto's companions by sending them on a fool's errand to distant parts of the garden. Then he cunningly possesses himself of Masetto's weapons and belabors him stoutly with his own cudgel. He makes off, and Zerlina, hearing Masetto's cries, hurries in to heal his hurts with pretty endearments.

It was curious to notice how that unquestioning allegiance and admiration which the missing Schwartz had been used to bestow on Lil was now bestowed by her on the new-comer who answered to the name of Scraper, and how in answer to all her advances and endearments Scraper remained scornful and unreceptive.
She counted up the days that must elapse before she received his next letter, and stole down early to peepat the papers, and learn when the next American mail was due.

"Do," she replied. "He is an abject creature, and might ruin all." She kissed the tips of her fingers to him daintily; and the brother withdrew by the boudoir and the back stair.
For since their mutual love had all been revealed, Dudleigh had spoken in words what he had repressed so long, and Edith had confessed what had already been extorted from her.

I met her six months ago and she asked me to come and live with her, as she has rented a flat that is twice too large." One goes on one's way and hears no more. But on the following Sunday as one is on the way to Saint Germain two young women get into the same railway carriage. One recognizes one of them at once; it is Julia's enemy. The other is Julia! And there are endearments, caresses, plans.
It was always she who needed consolation; and, by means of his endearments, she was petted back to happiness like a tired child. In his efforts to take her out of herself, Maurice told her how he had spent the day: where he had been, and whom he had met every detail that he thought might interest her.
