She delighted in seeing the admiring and tolerant smirk vanish and give way to a startled and defensive attentiveness. It might be mentioned that she managed, somehow, to spend almost half a day in Petticoat Lane, and its squalid surroundings, while in London.
"No fee," said Meetuck, looking over his shoulder with a broader smirk. "No fee, ye lump of pork! it's a double fee I'll have to pay the dacter an ye go on like that." No fee was Meetuck's best attempt at the words no fear.
Of this, anon, he made complaint to that magnificent prince, her uncle. But Guidobaldo scoffed at his qualms. "Do you account my niece a peasant girl?" he asked. "Would you have her smirk and squirm at every piece of flattery you utter? So that she weds your Highness what shall the rest signify?" "I would she loved me a little," complained Gian Maria foolishly.
Pembroke having seen enough of him to despise his pretensions both to science and sincerity, returned his wide smirk and eager inquiries with a ceremonious bow, and took his seat by the side of the now delighted Miss Dundas. The vivid spirits of Diana, which she now strove to render peculiarly sparkling, entertained him.

Nay, more than satyr: that curious, rather terrible iron demon that has fought with the world and wrung wealth from it, and which knows all about it.

They gathered together to talk about what interested them, and not to simper and smirk, and give utterance to platitudes and affectations, as was the case with the society to which Mary had lately been introduced.
