When we came to the Spring Waiontha I had walked straight into the water except for her, so dark it was around us. And: "How can you ever get back alone?" said she. "Oho!" said I, laughing, "I left the willow-tips a-dangle, breaking them with my left hand. I am woodsman enough to feel my way out." "But not woodsman enough to spare your shins in the clearing," she said saucily.
"How long since my presence has added such a charm to festive occasions?" she asks, saucily. "Well, I ought to stay at home with you," he answers, reflectively. "I am not afraid. The servants will be here." "I don't want to go," he returns, candidly. "I would much sooner remain at home." "I wonder," Violet says, "why you have taken such a fancy to me?
“What do you mean?” she asked, turning pale. A sudden fear had come over her; had anything befallen her father? Calhoun saw her mistake. Laughing, he said, “I only meant that flag would never come down.” “Is that all?” she replied, saucily; “you all will be scurrying south like so many rabbits in less than a week.” “Give us ten days.” “No, not an hour more than a week.
Moreover, Harley has blazed forth again in the London world, and promises again /de faire fureur/; but he has always found time to spend some hours in the twenty-four at his father's house. He has continued much the same tone with Violante, and she begins to accustom herself to it, and reply saucily. His calm courtship to Helen flows on in silence.
There was a little shriek of discomfiture as they suddenly perceived the young lord of the day, but the Contessa Beata Tagliapietra came saucily toward him as he was escaping. "The Lady Laura hath charged me to ask the Signor Marcantonio whether the garlands be disposed according to his liking."
He and Radisson had fought and parted; they had been in ugly business together, and they were likely to be, now that they had met, in ugly business again. Bucklaw's tiger ran up to stroke his chin with the old grotesque gesture. "Ha!" he said saucily, "cats and devils have nine lives." There was the same sparkle in the eye as of old, the same buoyant voice.
"Earlier than you'll be ready," said Frank Scherman's sister, one of the "Routh" girls also. "I shan't have any crimps to take down, that's one thing," Frank answered. And Sin Saxon, glancing at his handsome waving hair, whispered saucily to Jeannie Hadden, "I don't more than half believe that, either;" then, aloud, "You must join the party too, girls, by the way.
"I had to come to Montreal on business, and I thought it would be too bad if I went back without coming to see what they had been doing in Vanity Fair to my little playmate." "Well, what do you think they have been doing?" I asked saucily. I had on a particularly fetching gown and knew I was looking my best. Jack, however, looked me over with his head on one side.
"Tell us what he said, Everard," petitioned Emily. "He spoke very strongly and warned me not to urge her," Everard replied evidently unwilling to say more. "I don't believe that it could harm me," said Isabel thoughtfully, "but of course ." "You are jolly glad to get off," chimed in Rose saucily, and received a reproof from Everard.
I have accepted Tom's invitation for the same party to take a cruise in the Seabird next summer, but I have bargained that next time a storm is brewing up we shall stop quietly in port." "That's all very well, James," Mrs. Grantham said saucily; "but you must remember that Tom Virtue will only be first mate of the Seabird in future."
