"Would that do any good?" asked Corydon, guilelessly. He laughed as he answered, "It would, from her point of view." To which she replied, "Well, if we didn't know it and the baby didn't, I guess it wouldn't do any harm." "And it might save him from some kind of a hell!" added Thyrsis. Section 2.

Jack stared in amazement, but the meekest, most demure of maidens confronted him from the opposite chair, with eyes so translucently candid, lips so guilelessly sweet, that it seemed incredible that any hidden mischief could lurk behind the innocent question.

"Haven't you had your lunch yet?" she asked Tom. He looked at her guilelessly and said, "No; I was waiting for it." "Well, I'll get it," she said. "I thought the other nurse had brought it."

All women care about is following the styles, and men think whether the way you do your hair is becoming or not.

One can readily imagine the crafty smile with which Sir Ferdinando thus guilelessly recorded the complete success of his plot.
The franc and half-franc pieces were simple tokens of love to propitiate her; while, as for the postage-stamps, these could only be sent for convenience' sake, in lieu of coined money; unless, indeed, they were sent guilelessly, as in the case of a peasant woman who had added a postscript to her letter to say that she enclosed a stamp for the reply.
She tapped the holster on her thigh and gazed at him quite guilelessly out of wide and trustful eyes. "You see? I dare not even come here to wash my clothes unless I carry this in case some Boche comes prowling." "Whose pistol is it?" he asked. "The weapon belongs to Monsieur Steek.
