Imaginative fervour has poured itself out exclusively on these apparitions, which are without relevant backing in the world; and long, perhaps, before this life is over, which we called too brief, we begin to pine for another, where just those images which here played so deceptively on the surface of the flux may be turned into fixed and efficacious realities.
Not by any means tall she found him, but having the square shoulders and broad chest which give, in so much greater a degree than mere height, an impression of strength, a frame agile and compact, with that easy carriage of the head and that rapid movement so deceptively increasing the stature.
It was known to lead deceptively down among the cuts and passes, as if it went straight down to the lower levels, and to end abruptly in a precipice that none could descend or climb.
"If you would be so kind! Only, I don't like to be a nuisance " He smiled deceptively: "Don't worry about that. Where do you wish to go?" "To the Gare du Nord." That made him open his eyes. "The Gare du Nord!" he echoed. "But I beg your pardon " "I wish to take the first train for London," the girl informed him calmly. "You'll have a while to wait," Lanyard suggested.
This practice had given him a loud voice and a deceptively hearty manner, to which the other avocation of cheese-buyer, which he pursued at the Board of Trade meetings every Monday afternoon, had added a considerable command of persuasive yet non-committal language.
Beneath the shading of straight, black brows, her eyes were deceptively dark, until scrutinized closely, they resolved themselves into a clear gray. "Ah," he said, recalling Adonis, O'Flariaty's, appearance, and, as he spoke, a smile of singular sweetness lightened his face. "A Spanish grandee with a touch of the brogue! But I must not decry your noble lord!" he added.
"Perhaps," drawled Jane, "he was just a feller who asked too many questions?" Again Morena's smile deepened into his cheeks. He gave way, in the Jewish fashion so deceptively suggestive of meekness and timidity, when it is, at its worst, merely pliable insolence, at its best, pliable determination. "You must pardon me, Miss Jane," he said in his murmuring, cultivated voice.
At the foot of the long slope on which we stood Milk River glinted in the sunshine, deceptively beautiful a shining example of the truth of that old saw about distance lending enchantment, for, looking down on the placid stream slipping smoothly along between fringes of scrubby timber, one would never guess that miles and miles of hungry quick-sands lined the river-edge, an unseen trap for the feet of the unwary.
In the growing moonlight his teeth gleamed whitely from under his upcurled lip. In a flash he turned and set off at a loping run, nose close to ground, his long stride deceptively swift. The zest of the man-hunt had obsessed him, as completely as, that day, it had spurred the advance of the "Here-We-Comes." The trail of the slayer was fresh, even over such broken ground.
"You know something, Charley?" he said in a deceptively mild voice. "One of these days you're going to get officious with the wrong spaceman, one that isn't as tolerant as I am, and you're going to be pounded into space dust." Quent Miles stood in front of Brett's desk and stretched like a languid cat.
