Kipling's summing up of woman as "a rag and a bone and a hank of hair" gives no clue to the possibilities in way of subtle, reckless reaches of deviltry compared with a single, simple, outline drawing by Beardsley.
Johnny was in the same general class and he could sympathize with the irrepressible nuisance in its efforts to stir up a little life and excitement in so dull a crowd; Johnny hoped to be as successful in his mischievous deviltry when he reached the town at the end of the drive.
"Well, well," he went on heartily. "My head's just bursting with pleasure and surprise. Say, I often remember the days and nights in Seal Bay. Gee! This brings back times, eh? Is it just a trip or? "Business." The man grinned. He was more than well named. His black eyes were full of good-humoured deviltry.
And the girl flushed more deeply; her eyes were still bright, but they no longer sharpened to such a penetrating point. She was believing at least a little part of what he said, and her disbelief only heightened her joy in what was real in this strangest of lovemakings. "I shall stay here to learn one thing," she said. "What deviltry is behind all this talk, Mr. Donnegan?" "Is that fair to me?
I'm gwine to kill ye, right here, to stop yer deviltry, and skeer off others that air o' the same mind." "Pray God, don't kill me, massa," begged the negro. "I hain't done nuffin' to be killed foh." "Hain't done nothin' to be killed for!" shouted the white man, with more oaths.
Also when a woman is created, the winds have wooed star-dust, rose-dew, peach-down, and a few flint-shavings into a whirlwind of deviltry, and the world at large looks on in wonder and sore amazement, as well as breathless interest. I know, because I am one, and have just been waked up by the gyrations of the cyclone; and I'm deeply confounded.
"Long live the Republic!" As the great wave of sound rose over the crowd and broke sullenly against the somber masses of the Palace of the Bourbons, a thin, shrill cry from the extreme right answered, "Vive la Commune!" Elliott laughed nervously. "They'll charge those howling Belleville anarchists!" Clifford began, in pure deviltry, to whistle the Carmagnole.
'Twas then I asked him if he knew Colonel Campbell of Abingdon." "And what deviltry was that?" demanded the Colonel, as he dipped himself more of the toddy. "I'll come to it, sir. Yes, Colonel Campbell was his intimate, and ranted if he did not tarry a week with him at Abingdon on his journeys.
They don't know yet that the hole in the wall is thar, but ef they stay long they're boun' to run acrost it. That's why I've come out lookin' fur you, an' mighty glad I am that I've found you. I'd a notion you'd take this circuit, after doin' all the deviltry you've done." The shiftless one's mouth parted in a wide grin of admiration. The two rows of white teeth shone brightly.
The amusement of making Presidents has keen fascination for idle American hands, but these black arts have the old drawback of all deviltry; one must serve the spirit one evokes, even though the service were perdition to body and soul. For him, no doubt, the service, though hard, might bring some share of profit, but for the friends who gave this unselfish decision, all would prove loss.
