From his window Colwyn could see the City shopgirls feeding the pigeons of St. Paul's around the statue of Queen Anne. To Colwyn, London was the place of adventures. He had lived in New York and Paris, but neither of these cities had for him the same fascination as the sprawling giant of the Thames. Paris was as stimulating and provocative as a paid mistress, but palled as quickly.
Only the cat's natural abstemiousness saved her that night from dying of a surfeit and in agony surely provocative of the very cries which Nanoun sought to restrain!
"Please, miss, I had to help ma make a pudding for dinner 'cause we're expecting company and Clarice Almira's sick," was St. Clair's answer, given in a perfectly respectful voice but nevertheless provocative of great mirth among his mates.

They dawdled a bit, through a littered street of open markets where they examined the contents of barrows flowers, cheap lace, stockings, furs, trays of battered coins and bits of china, brass and copper vessels now and then peering into a provocative alley-way, held by the spell of the exotic.
There it was so winsome, so bright, and proud and provocative in its every feature, and the old French damask roses growing in her garden borders could not show a prettier colour than her cheeks! He lifted his hands. "Let us pray!" The villagers all obediently dropped on their knees. The Manor 'house-party' politely bent their heads.

"You're terribly attractive, Maggie!"
