"And to think," he added effusively, "that it is just a mere slip of a girl who was decorated for bravery by France!" She smiled at him with all the beguilingly bête innocence of the young when flattered: "You are too amiable, monsieur. I really do not understand why they gave me the Legion. To encourage all French children, perhaps because I really am a dreadful coward."
"Curious that I should find the place so easily," and he smiled most beguilingly. "Sometimes one seems led in just the right way." For several reasons he preferred not to say he had heard the singing. "Yes," and now she gave a soft, answering smile, as if there might be a mysterious understanding between them.
The man wisely took no part in the struggle, but stood looking on, encouraging them with half-rueful, half-laughing remarks. At length Leslie had an inspiration. While Rags was standing at the edge of the water, panting from a long and furious run, the fish reposing at his feet, she seized a small board lying near, called to him beguilingly and hurled the board out into the sea.
Just so, he was insensible to no feature of the felicity of a contact that, beguilingly, almost confoundingly, was a contact but with practically yielding lines and curved surfaces. "You're round, my boy," he had said "you're ALL, you're variously and inexhaustibly round, when you might, by all the chances, have been abominably square.
One has but to walk through the royal palaces of France to see French history beguilingly illustrated, in a series of volumes open to all, the pages of which are vibrant with the names and personalities of men and women who will always live in history as products of an age of great culture and art. A delightful bit of a room. The furniture, in line, shows a Directoire influence.
You would have followed the Snoodle, too, if he had wagged himself at you in that delightful, insinuating fashion, rolled over and over across your foot, and then gone frisking down the path, looking back beguilingly over his shoulder. So of course Sara did, as soon as she had properly disposed of her dimples.
The baby, looking over the maternal shoulder, encountered the stern eyes staring at her. She stared gravely too. Then with a bounce and a gurgle she beamed upon him from out the retirement of her flapping sun-bonnet; she smiled radiantly, and finally laughed outright, and waved her hands and again bounced beguilingly, and thus toothlessly coquetting, disappeared within the door.
Jims, being an astute infant, sensed trouble in the atmosphere and realized that it was up to him to clear it away. He turned his face up to Rilla, smiled adorably and said, clearly and beguilingly, "Will Will." It was the very first time he had spoken a word or tried to speak. Rilla was so delighted that she forgot her grudge against him. She forgave him with a hug and kiss.
He talked to Clockborough in short only less beguilingly than Frank Saltram talked to HIS electors; with the difference to our credit, however, that we had already voted and that our candidate had no antagonist but himself. He had more than once been at Wimbledon it was Mrs. Mulville's work not mine and by the time the claret was served had seen the god descend.
"Look at all the money we'll have!" urged the brother. "Here," said the girl, beguilingly, "when you've done it I'll give you two long sucks of my lemon candy." She took the enticing combination from Merle and held it fair before his yearning eyes; the last rite of a monstrous seduction was achieved. The victim wavered and was lost. He took the dress.
