Well, if they are not over stupid and flirtatious " "Stupid! Oh, no," Eric scouted that idea "and flirtatious, perhaps. Miss Hopkins rolls her eyes a good deal, but then she has a frankness, a winning way."
"The crime," said I, "has lain heavily on my conscience." "I don't believe a word of it," she laughed, dismissing me with a bow. I raised my hat and joined Carlotta. It was a Miss Gascoigne, a flirtatious intimate of Aunt Jessica's house.

Ambrose had no difficulty in recognizing it as a derisive, flirtatious challenge. Not to be outdone, he came to the window and answered in kind.
