Once he thought he recognized Miss Faulkner's figure at a distance, and even fancied that she had been watching him; but he only redoubled his attentions to the fair woman beside him, and looked no more. Yet he was glad when the guests began to drop off, the great rooms thinned, and Susy, appearing on the arm of her husband, coquettishly reminded him of his promise.
There was impressive gallantry to the Louis XIV style, a ceremonious masculine gallantry, while Louis XV furniture the period dominated by women when "poetry and sculpture sang of love" and life revolved about the boudoir shows a type entirely intime, sinuously, lightly, gracefully, coquettishly feminine, bending and courtesying, with no fixed outline, no equal balance of proportions.
Freddie felt his cheek. He was aware of an odd mixture of embarrassment and exhilaration. From the area below a slight cough sounded. Freddie turned sharply. A maid in a soiled cap, worn coquettishly over one ear, was gazing intently up through the railings. Their eyes met. Freddie turned a warm pink. It seemed to him that the maid had the air of one about to giggle.
They work in common, just enough to get the food of the day; they rear their children in common; and in the evenings they dress themselves as coquettishly as they can, and dance. Like all savages, they are fond of dancing.
The bonnetless woman nodded a pleasant acknowledgment, and coquettishly wound the vine in her glossy hair. The dark man at his side, who hadn't spoken yet, turned to Clarence dryly. "If you're goin' to keep up this gait, sonny, I reckon ye won't find much trouble gettin' a man's suit to fit you by the time you reach Sacramento."

There was a Chinese lady-top too, who fanned herself coquettishly as she spun; and a mandarin who nodded wisely. The tops were enough to turn a boy's head. There were equally curious things in the other stockings.

It was a curious thing, and one that he had often noticed himself; he gave this woman unworthy as she was the best of his simple thoughts. Ninon tiptoed toward the priest with one finger coquettishly raised to insure secrecy.
Ned reiterating the expression of the gratitude of his brother and himself, the ranee coquettishly held out a little hand whose size and shape an Englishwoman might have envied; and the boys kissed it Ned respectfully, Dick with a heartiness which made her laugh and draw it away.
'If so, it would be but the matter of a moment to procure a second cup; and, as her coffee-pot was quite full She raised the lid coquettishly, and again her eyes lingered upon the short dark hair and the straight brows above the gray eyes. The waiter with ready tact departed in search of the second cup; madame replaced the lid of the coffee-pot.
There were burnished brass candle-sticks, with extinguishers in the shape of prancing griffins, and snuffers of the same metal, fashioned after the similitude of some strange and presumably extinct saurian; and a Dresden china shepherdess, whose shattered crook had long since disappeared, peeped coquettishly through the engraved crystal of a tall candle shade at the bloated features of a mandarin, on a tea-pot with a cracked spout that some Darrington, stung by the gad-fly of travel, had brought to the homestead from Nanking.
