Instead of answering she laughed again. It was the happiest joy-song in the world. A mirthful goddess might have trilled it a laugh like sunshine and flowers and chasing cloud shadows on waving grass. "Helen Winship, stop it! Stop this masquerade!" I shouted, not knowing what I did. "But I I'm afraid I can't, John." The glorious face brimmed with mischief.
For one minute it was placid, the next stern, and directly after a slight quivering of the facial nerves developed into a mirthful look, which was emphasised by a low, pleasant, chuckling laugh. For the fact was that the tall, stern, portly Doctor's thoughts had gone far back to his old schooldays and a victory he had once achieved over the brutal bully of the school at which he had been placed.
"Sir," said he, "to be plain with you, I do not understand a word these fellows about me say, and I feel as I did the first time I went to Paris, before I knew enough French to read the Master's poems. Again, every one here is mirthful and gay, and there is no man with a divinely passionate potentiality of pain.

Gaspard's mobile French face lit up with a mirthful smile. "It is most things!" he replied "Without it even science is crippled. And this lady has so much of it! it seems without end!
"Do you hear that, Reilly? I wish Sir Robert heard it, but I'll tell him there's a compliment, Helen you're a good girl thank you, Helen."

When the door again opened the name announced was 'Miss Shale. Stopping in the middle of a swift sentence, May looked at the newcomer, and saw that it was indeed Hilda Shale, of Brent Hall; but this did not disconcert her. Without lowering her voice she finished what she was saying, and ended in a mirthful key.
The terrible conqueror, who intended to subdue this bevy of giggling maidens and cast a blight upon their levity, stood behind his counter like a soldier making a last stand in a third line trench, while Pepsy, captivated by the mirthful assailants, laughed uncontrollably.
There was one exception though, in the face of a sweet-looking lady of about twenty, whose eyes seemed to follow the boys, while a pleasant, mirthful smile was upon her lip.
