"I was only wondering why he had made an exception of you." She tossed her head. "Can't you guess?" "No, I can't," he returned daringly. "I should have thought you would have been the first on the list." "How charming of you to say so!" said Violet. "Perhaps you are not aware of the fact that the sweetest fruit is generally out of reach." "You might have let me say that," said Nick.
Her eyes challenged him for a moment, and he laughed. "Mais oui, madame! I protest a new experience. I feel I am doing my duty." "And it doesn't bore you?" questioned Toby, with a tilt of the chin. His look kindled a little. "If we were on board the old Night Moth, you'd have had a cuff for that," he remarked. "I wish we were!" she said daringly. He flicked his fingers.
Though the British poured a terrific fire after the flying battery of one gun, there was something so splendid in the episode; the horses were behaving so gallantly, horses of one of their own batteries daringly taken by Krool under the noses of the force that there was scarcely a man who was not glad when, at last, the gun made a sudden turn at a kopje, and was lost to sight within the Boer lines, leaving behind it a little cloud of dust.
The august Creator too is likewise more wisely concealed by Albano than by other artists, who daringly presume to exhibit that of which no mortal man can give or receive a just idea. But we will have done for a while with connoisseurship.
A few doors away Godwin had his study, where he spent most of his industrious day, often breakfasted and sometimes slept. Both partners of this daringly unconventional union had their own particular friends and retained their separate places in society. Some quaint notes have survived, which passed between them, borrowing books or making appointments.
She went to the easel; and Maurice, following, stood at her elbow anticipating the sweet savour of praise. For the picture was a notable bit of work, daringly simple in colouring and design, yet arresting, convincing, alive. It represented a young girl, with the promise of womanhood on her gravely sweet lips, and in the depths of her eyes, half-sitting upon the crossed rails of the verandah.
His father, an engraver of some distinction, had been dead eleven years, and his mother had three girls to educate and maintain on a meagre annuity. Hans Meyrick he had been daringly christened after Holbein felt himself the pillar, or rather the knotted and twisted trunk, round which these feeble climbing plants must cling.
"Yours was a most original wooing, Jane." "I'd like to live on bread and water for my part, Agnes." "Put Freddy on it, dear. He's getting too stout. I never thought that gluttony was a crime. But when I look at Freddy" checking her speech, she spread out her hands with an ineffable look "I'm glad that Noel is coming," she ended, rather daringly.
The shops thought it very natural that a man who, by importing direct from the producer, had daringly set aside the first great principle of provincial existence, namely that God made country villages to supply customers to county towns, should have confused ideas about the Decalogue.
Her daughter would not leave her now, to be a martyr in the East, as the only escape from herself and from the man who loved her too daringly. Why should she go? If she still felt that she must leave Rome for a time, she could go to one of the order's houses far away, but not to the East, the deadly East!
