The camera was being wheeled toward them. The Montague girl, with her hand still on his arm, continued her wheedling, though now she spoke. "Why, look who's here. Kid, I didn't know you in your stepping-out clothes. Say, listen, why do you always upstage me? I never done a thing to you, did I? Go on, now, give me the fishy eye again. How'd you ace yourself into this first row, anyway?
And even as I spoke the red-haired Guy de Villehardouin, alone, strode to us across the moonlit grass. "At least I shall have him," Lanfranc cried, his voice almost wheedling, so great was his desire. "Ask him," I laughed, then turned to Pasquini. "To-morrow," I said. "Do you name time and place, and I shall be there."
"No they seem to me some private letters she refers to in this letter, and that she wants back again." "Let us see," said Carroll, untying the packet. There were three or four closely written notes in Spanish and English. "Love-letters, I reckon," said Prince "that's why the old girl wants 'em back.

The memory of it all but just came back to me two months ago." "Did you tell the Doctor about it?" asked Simpkins, in the wheedling tone of a physician asking a child to put out her tongue.
Even at that time I disliked the half-breed's wheedling manners, and her cruel, tawny face, and wondered how my mistress could be so fond of her as she was. Time showed that I was right in distrusting this woman. I shall have much more to say about her when I get further advanced with my story.
