Miss Deringham rose languidly, but her father felt he had gone as far as was desirable, and went back to grapple with a financial difficulty from which he could see only one escape, while she rode away with Seaforth, who led out the horse reserved for her use.
"I do not know," she answered, rather tartly. "It was not, I assume, my duty to report it." "And, further, Madame," Lotzen continued. "If Major Dalberg were lucky enough to marry you, why, in Heaven's name, should he deny you within a few short months?" "I might guess one of the reasons," she answered languidly and let her eyes rest upon the Princess. And Dehra laughed in her face.
I sighed restlessly and impatiently at the narrow darkness in which I found myself a sorrowful, deep, shuddering sigh .... and WOKE! That is to say, I languidly opened mortal eyes to find myself once more pent up in mortal frame, though I retained a perfect remembrance and consciousness of everything I had experienced during my spirit-wanderings.
There was something more touching to Hope in this dull apathy than in the most positive grief. "Fanny Newt!" she said to her, suddenly. Fanny lifted her lazy eyes. "If I can do nothing for your brother, can I do nothing for you? You will rust out, Fanny, if you don't take care." Fanny smiled languidly. "What if I do?" she answered.
Trust her not, She is fooling thee!" Here they all are at last, and the house is as full as it will hold. The Bracewells came first in their great family coach and four Charlotte and Amelia and a young friend whom they had with them. Her name is Cecilia Osborne, and she is such a genteel-looking girl! She moves about, not languidly like Amelia, but in such a graceful, airy way as I never saw.
These are forget-me-nots, and that's mother-darling.... And these I picked for you, she added, taking from under a yellow tansy a small bunch of blue corn-flowers, tied up with a thin blade of grass. Do you like them? Viktor languidly held out his hand, took the flowers, carelessly sniffed at them, and began twirling them in his fingers, looking upwards.

'No, Paul, she answered. Her arms fell languidly on the counterpane. 'I shall not live, but promise me that. Let me die happy. Tu sais, chéri, que ma mère est morte.
"From your lips, sweet friend?" said Lothaw, who came of age and entered the room at the same moment. "No, from my work. It was a very valuable pearl, mamma; papa gave Isaacs Sons 50,000 pounds for the two." "Ah, indeed," said the Duchess, languidly rising; "let us go to luncheon."
He liked to see dancing, and at first it was rather pleasant watching Ethelyn's lithe figure gliding gracefully through the intricate movements of the Lancers; but when it came to the waltz, he was not so sure about it, and he wondered if it were necessary for Frank Van Buren to clasp her as tightly about the waist as he did, or for her to lean so languidly upon his shoulder.
The large unkempt garden at the side looked like a jungle in the hills, but was rich in colour and perfume. The gates were open and they could see the slatternly negro servants moving languidly about the rooms on the ground floor, while two slept under the banana tree. A gallery traversed the second story, its pillars covered with dusty vines.
