The utter lack of wisdom and knowledge of God's laws and providence, in the realm of theological teachings, is undoubtedly the cause of much of the diablerie of the world today.
"I like the touch of your lips, Larry," she whispered. "They warm me here" she pressed her heart again "and they send little sparkles of light through me." Her brows tilted perplexedly, accenting the nuance of diablerie, delicate and fascinating, that they cast upon the flower face. "Do you?" whispered the O'Keefe fervently. "Do you, Lakla?" He bent toward her.
"No," he said, "no need to tell you more than that, within these last few days I have found that all you said about Cresswell's present diablerie" he shook his head impatiently at the language he was using to the lady of the feathers "Cresswell's present impulse for evil is less horribly true than the truth. I shall watch him, day by day, from now. And if I can act, I shall do so.
As a child she had ever been as remarkable for surprising feats of agility as for fun, frolic, mischief, and diablerie. And every one of these traits augmented with her growth. Feats of agility became a passion with her her airy spirit seemed only to find its full freedom in rapid motion in daring flights, in difficult achievements, and in hair-breadth escapes.
If his sleek "reality" were all that there was "alarum!" We were indeed "betrayed"! But no; the children are right. Dickens is right. Neither "realist" or "psychologist" hits the mark, when it comes to the true diablerie of living people. There is something more whimsical, more capricious, more unreal, than philosophers suppose about this human pantomime.
Was it not rather a kind of chic diablerie, that is so much more attractive, so much more dangerous, than mere perfection of feature and proportion? Good Heavens! What a destiny, too, for such a personality!
She was a splendid-looking creature all life and energy, tall, fair-haired, and with a charm above her kind. She was also an excellent servant, could do as much as any two women in any house, and was capable of more airy diablerie than any ten of her sex in Pontiac. When Fabian had said to her in Montreal that he would come to see her again, he told her where he lived.
Among her chosen school-comrades were several English girls, but on leaving the convent their paths separated, and in her after life she had but rare opportunities for renewing these early friendships. Some eighteen months had elapsed in this fashion when Aurore began to tire of diablerie. The victim remained undiscoverable. The store of practical jokes was exhausted.
Méhul's curious experiments in orchestration, and the solemn splendour of Mozart's Egyptian mysteries, alike show the influence of the romantic spirit as surely as the weirdest piece of diablerie ever devised by Weber or his followers.
Purcell, turning to Mrs. Laudersdale again, with a flush on her cheek. "So I presume." "Strange! And this was given to mamma by her mother, whose maiden name was Susan White. There's some diablerie about it." "Oh, that is a part of the ceremony of money-hiding," said Mr. Raleigh. "Kidd always buried a little imp with his pots of gold, you know, to work deceitful charms on the finder."
