It was a strange thing how, with that arched twist to her eyebrows and with that smile which came and went like sunshine in her eyes, she toppled his lifelong creed. The cardinal tenet of his faith had been a belief in strength. He had first been drawn to Virginia by reason of her pluck and her power. Yet this child's very weakness was her fountain of strength.
"After such words, Miss Burton," Van Berg answered with a smile, "rest assured I shall avoid him as I would a pestilence. But remember, I have been as guilty as Stanton, yes, more so; for Stanton received the first provocation, and he is naturally more impetuous than I am. But I have been thanked, as well as warned and justly rebuked.
Francine recognized the rude drawing-master, who had torn up his view of the village, after she had saved it from being blown into the pond. She stepped out on the terrace, and called to him. He stopped, and looked up. "Do you want me?" he called back. "Of course I do!" She advanced a little to meet him, and offered encouragement under the form of a hard smile.
If Canon Waring had heard these spiteful on-dits, he paid no attention to them; he was a high-minded enthusiast, and knew a gentleman and a scholar when he saw one. "The correspondent of the British Bolshevist," he added, "and a co-religionist of Your Eminence's." The ex-cardinal gave Henry his delicate hand, and a shrewd and agreeable smile.

I walked out to the garden Yolanda danced out and we sat with the others under the shade of the arbor vines.
She doubles forward in an automatic bow in response to the thunders of applause, and that curious smile breaks out along her lips and rises and dances in her bright light-blue eyes, wide open in a sort of child-like astonishment. Her hair, a bright auburn, rises in soft masses above a large, pure forehead. She wears a trailing dress, striped yellow and pink, without ornament.
The one thing which my palace needs is a merry little maid, to run up stairs and down, and cheer up the rooms with her smile. And this is what you must do for King Pluto." "Never!" answered Proserpina, looking as miserable as she could. "I shall never smile again till you set me down at my mother's door."
The carriage was driven at full speed toward Courberrie. Benedetto entered. He was now the escaped convict, neither more nor less. On his lips was a hideous smile. He had attained his aim at last he had in his power the son of the man whom he hated, and revenge was sweet. Esperance held Jane in his arms, and merely turned his head toward Benedetto. "Who are you?" he cried.
Miss Rose tripped downstairs and, bestowing a witching smile upon her sire, waved away his request for an explanation and hastened into the kitchen, whence Annie shortly afterwards emerged with the water. It was with something of a shock that the farmer discovered that he had to wait for his dinner while his lordship had luncheon.
The female, with a grim smile, bade her recompose herself; whilst the burly brute doggedly hinted to her that she would have to remain some time in those parts, and might as well sit down and be content. Perplexed at this second announcement of her intended restriction, Amanda stood mute in fear and horror.
