To these two requirements the squire yielded, at heart not a little comforted that the proceedings against him were no worse, though vocally he protested at such "robbery and coercion." "Ye lord it high-handedly now," he told the party, "but ye'll sing another song ere long." "Yer've been predictin' thet fer some time," chuckled Hennion, aggravatingly.
A sudden lurch of the big car had sent the box of chocolates to the floor, where its contents rolled about aggravatingly at their feet. "Come back here, Mollie Billette, and pick them up. That's the least "
"Run along, Major," he ordered; "you've kept the Lady Helen over time." She took his arm. "Please take me out on the terrace," she said. Then she smiled at me aggravatingly. "Maybe our chairs are still vacant; better take Courtney to them," I said maliciously. It was not quite fair, possibly; and she told me so with her eyes, though her lips smiled. I knew I had given her another score to settle.
The same fancy had evidently taken Andriaovsky, for he was turning from chair to chair, his head a little on one side, mischievously and aggravatingly smiling. As one of them, the deep wicker chair that Jamison had occupied, suddenly gave a little creak of itself, as wicker will when released from a strain, his smile broadened to a grin.
"O yes, Edith out in the boat to-night. O Edith! I'm so happy I want to jump I want to dance I feel wild with delight! Just think of it think of it! Trixy Stuart will be My Lady Catheron!" She turned of a dead white from brow to chin. She sat speechless with the shock looking at Trixy unable to speak or move. "He's most awfully and aggravatingly modest," pursued Beatrix.
"What are they goin' to do?" demanded Dan urgently. Ju puffed aggravatingly at his cigar. "Do?" he echoed at last, gazing distantly at the card players across the room. "Why, what any bunch of savee should ha' done five years ago. Put out a great reward." Curly snorted in disdain. "See, I tho't it was to be a big play." "You allus was bright," sneered Dan.
"You haven't told me what message she had for you." "I've just said that she prophesied we should be robbed again." "That's only one thing. What about the rest?" "Oh! A lot of stuff which wouldn't interest you!" "You can keep your secret. And I'll keep mine," remarked Dick Annesley-Seton, aggravatingly. "Anyhow, for the present. We'll see how it works out."
To a woman there is no subtler flattery than a man's dumb acknowledgement of her unattainability. He talked when she bade him talk, but she was not positive whether she was vexed or not because their conversation was of common-place things: The work he was doing, upon which he was aggravatingly reticent, or the severity of the last storm, or the amazing clarity of the night.
She leaned forward in a favorite position of hers when she was intensely interested, with hands clasped over her knee, which her mother always found aggravatingly tomboyish. She had a mass of lustrous black hair and a mouth rather large in repose, but capable of changing curves of emotion. Her large, dark eyes, luminously deep under long lashes, if not the rest of her face, had beauty.
Her complexion, innocent of powder or cosmetics, was clear and delicate as a rose-leaf but with the faintest tinge of healthy tan. Her eyes, blue as summer seas, were fringed with long, dark lashes, and she had an aggravatingly seductive dimple in each cheek, and another in the centre of her daintily-rounded chin.
