"What a swell you look, Rose! I'm sure no one will dare to ask you for any but square dances." "Do you think so, dear?" said Rose, looking at herself complacently in the glass over Dinah's head. Dinah made a sudden and hideous grimace. "Oh, drat my hair! I can't do anything with it. I believe I shall cut it all off, put on just a pinafore, and go as a piccaninny."
She used to say that she and old Peter Goldthwaite had often spent a sociable evening by the kitchen fire pretty much as you and I are doing now, Mr. Peter." "The old fellow must have resembled me in more points than one," said Peter, complacently, "or he never would have grown so rich.
On seeing me, he stepped up to a fine Nuytsia floribunda, which ornaments my grounds, and taking up a double-barrelled gun that was leaning against it, gave a few significant slaps upon the breach, and smiling complacently, winked his eye. I turned away and entered the house, filled with a kind of grim satisfaction, as thoughts of vengeance flitted through my brain.
And when the young forester had taken his departure, Mrs. Halsey stroked the red flannel round her swollen neck complacently. "I 'ad to pike 'im out soomhow. It's 'igh time she wor put to bed!" That same evening, Ellesborough left the Ralstone camp behind him about six o'clock, and hurried through the late October evening towards Great End Farm.
So long, Jerry. Git dap, Thousand Dollars!" Daniel complacently accepted this testimony to his monetary worth and jogged out of the yard. Fortunately appearances do not count for much in Orham, except in the summer, and the spectacle of five in a carryall is nothing out of the ordinary.
He was dressed in a city business suit of the latest cut, however, and looked as much out of place in that crude little house as did Margaret Earle herself in her simple gown of dark-blue crêpe and her undeniable air of style and good taste. His eyes, as they regarded her, had in them a smile that the girl instinctively resented. Was it a shade too possessive and complacently sure for a stranger?
His fancy had dwelt so fondly upon the house where he proposed to dwell that he seemed to know every crimson eave of it, every flower in the trim garden, the settle by the porch where he should sit and smoke his pipe and drain his can and listen to the booming of the bees, while he complacently savored the after-taste of discreditable adventures.
"Mamma, Frau von Walden," he exclaimed, "we are close to that place where they make the cups and saucers. Herr von Walden said we weren't to forget to go there and you all would have forgotten, you see, if it hadn't been for me," he added complacently. "Grünstein," said Frau von Walden.
As she spoke, she turned around and around, complacently contemplating her reflected image from various points of view. "I am particularly gratified at having pleased you, madam," said Madeleine, with more gravity than was usual to her when she accosted her light-brained customers. Madame de Fleury, without noticing her serious mien, commenced disrobing.
One result was, that I found out in those trial-grounds ever so many reasons why flight from Africa would be unthinkable for me. As to her, my other friend, who had taken Africa so complacently and so very much for granted, Africa made revelations to her at each stage of a journey that was rousing in itself, for it brought her away from her western station to a very different countryside.
