Now this I declare: the ball-room, with its flashing lights, intoxicating perfumes, starry hosts of gleaming, eyes, refulgent robes, mirrors duplicating countless splendors and ceaseless whirl of vanity, may add a tenfold lustre to the charm of beauty, and I know it does; the opera-box embellishments of blazing gas, and glittering gems and flowers, fresh from native beds of millinery, all-odorous with divinest scents of Lubin, harmoniously dulcified, have their value, which is great and glorious, no doubt, and regally doth woman expand and glow among them; in numberless ways, and aided by numberless accessories, do feminine graces nimbly and sweetly recommend themselves unto our pleasant senses; but this I will for ever and ever say, that nowhere, neither in gorgeous hall, nor gilded opera-box, nor in any other place, nor under any other circumstances, may such bewildering and insidious power of maidenly enchantment be exercised as at the billiard-table; especially when the enchantress is utterly ignorant of the duties required of her, and confidingly seeks manly encouragement and guidance.
Their eyes met and both of them smiled; he with amusement at the tall, spare figure, with dark eyes and white crown, asking the childish question so confidingly; and Elnora with pride. She was beginning to appreciate the character of her mother. "How would you like to sit and see her finish development? I'll get dinner," proposed the girl.
"I'm sure of it," he said. "The angel of the Lord came down," still chimed in his ears. Suddenly a little warm hand was slipped into his confidingly. "I think we'd better go home now." The voice was full of deep content. Livingstone's hand closed on hers and as he said "Yes," he was conscious of a pang at the thought of giving her up. He lifted her to put her in the sleigh.
"I will wager that you are wrong there, and that you ought to have been vexed. Who was it, Daisy?" "Never mind, please, Dr. Sandford! It is no matter at all now." She put her little hand confidingly in the doctor's as she spoke, and looked very earnest. He could not resist her. "I wish I had come sooner," he said. "I shall be suspicious of everybody, Daisy.
He bade me seek you out he bade me replace the guilty son with a thing pure and innocent, as he had been had he died in his cradle a child to comfort your old age! There was something in Morton's voice so solemn, that it awed and touched both the old man and the infant; and Fanny, creeping to the protector thus assigned to her, and putting her little hands confidingly on his knees, said
It would be difficult, he knew; but if Elsie were willing he'd try, for his kind heart recoiled from sending the little child who clung to him so confidingly adrift amongst strangers. No, he would not do so. After a while he turned to his wife, who had gone to the cradle where lay their six-weeks-old baby, and was rocking it, as the child had cried out in her sleep.
"I'm not supposed to tell anyone," she said, with sapphire eyes uplifted confidingly to his. "She isn't really here before the end of the week. You won't tell, will you? Only when I saw you plodding along out here by yourself, I just had to come and tell you, to cheer you up." He stood and looked at her, not knowing what to say.
No doubt, the alien who counted upon this fact, if it is a fact, would find his knuckles warningly rapped when he reached too confidingly through air that seemed empty of etiquette. But the rapping would be very gentle, very kindly, for this is the genius of English rule where it is not concerned with criminal offence.
She went into the garden, but in the garden it was peaceful, green, and fresh; the birds chirped so confidingly, and the flowers peeped out so gaily that she could not bear it. 'Oh! she thought, 'if it is true, no blade of grass is happy as I. But is it true? She went back to her room and, to kill time, she began changing her dress.
"Maude," remarked the phenomenon briefly. This statement she delivered in that whining tone which the extremely self-conscious infant imagines to indicate playful childishness. She approached. "D' you want t' see my picters?" she whimpered confidingly. Bennington expressed his delight.
