Here Cousin Rebecca, who was by, looking up with that sweet archness which doth so well become her, queried with him whether he did think to live alone on his plantation like a hermit, or whether he had not his eye upon a certain fair-haired young woman, as suitable to keep him company.
Leaning stiffly forward, her thin neck outstretched, her brows bent toward Rowcliffe, summoning all that she knew of archness to her eyes, she sang. "Oh miller, miller, miller, miller, miller, let me go!" sang the young lady from Morfe.
He talked with fluency and spirit and there was an archness and pleasantry in his manner which interested, though it was hardly understood by her.
He had intended to take an ostentatious leave of Low in the bar-room, deliver the letter with archness, and escape before a possible explosion. He consequently backed towards the door for an emergency. But he was again at fault. That unaffected stoical fortitude in acute suffering, which was the one remaining pride and glory of Low's race, was yet to be revealed to Wynn's civilized eyes.
He may," she added, not without a gleam of feminine archness, "praise Gippsland above the Himalayas to me. What my Martin so much objected to was, the speaking of Gippsland at all when there was mention of our Lake scenery. As for me, I know how men love to boast of things nobody else has seen." The two ladies went in company to Van Diemen, who allowed himself to be melted.
Crossjay frowned and puffed. "But only if I'm questioned," he said. "Certainly," she replied. "Then I question the rascal," said Willoughby, causing a start. "What, sir, is your opinion of Miss Middleton in her robe of state this evening?" "Now, the truth, Crossjay!" Clara held up a finger; and the boy could see she was playing at archness, but for Willoughby it was earnest.
"That is my secret," answered Violante, trying to smile with her old frank, childlike archness. "But, tell me, do you think better of her than of her brother?" "Certainly. I believe her heart to be good, and that she is not without generous qualities." "Can you not induce my father to see her? Would you not counsel him to do so?" "Any wish of yours is a law to me," answered Harley, gallantly.
'But, said mamma, lifting her head from the arm of the sofa, and casting upon him the look of ingenue archness which was almost her sole fortune on the boards, 'Miss Hampton's horse has cast a shoe, and the shoeing-smith is miles away. Did you ride or drive, Mr. Armstrong? I'm sure you couldn't have ridden with all those nice things you've been so kind to bring me.
It was a fine, sincere way of doing things; but why the subject of marriage should be made an occasion for archness, for sly looks, for in extreme cases nudgings, passes my comprehension. The R.H.F. has a way of making common any subject she touches even the Taj and marriage so I thought I would go to bed.
"I have no fine attire. Wilt thou be ashamed of me?" She looked so radiant in her girlish beauty, that it seemed to him at the moment there was nothing more to desire. And the delicious archness in her tone captivated him anew. Consign her to convent walls never! Mam'selle Fleury took charge of Jeanne at once and led her through the large hall to a side chamber.
