So I raved within me, half because I believed it, and half because she seemed so comfortable up there, with her feet on a stool and a cool jug of curds at her elbow, while I sweated and labored in the sun. Very decidedly it must be Texel; devil fly up with him and scratch him among the gargoyles of the minster! The fan wagged on. It looked distractingly cool within.
And another thing worried the pretty spinster the comings, goings, and occult doings of her nephew with the most distractingly lovely and utterly impossible girl that fate ever designed to harass the soul of any young man's aunt. That Hamil was already in love with Shiela Cardross had become painfully plainer to her every time she saw him.
Travelling alone had not been as pleasant as he anticipated; the horse was a nuisance to look after; and then the country taverns were snuffy and unendurable. As to where he had been and what he had seen he must have seen something and been somewhere in eight days his answers were so evasive that Miss Mildred was positive something distractingly romantic had befallen the young man.
And here, without a shadow of vocation, this poor ignorant girl was poring over the driest details that ever interested the scholar.

You are looking as distractingly charming as ever. So our knight errant has put in an appearance once more! He looks a little the worse for wear." "Mr. Thode has been ill," Willa remarked through stiffened lips.
She was distractingly pretty, with a beauty that is short-lived with the people of her race.
The princess is one of those impenetrable women; she can make herself what she pleases to be: playful, childlike, distractingly innocent; or reflective, serious, and profound enough to excite anxiety.
Sophie asked, just as I had decided not to think of the things that misted around me. My answer was a taste of it. I really thought I was doing my duty, when Sophie's words came upon me, a little distractingly, "Will you have more sugar in your tea, Anna?" "No, I thank you." Aaron said, "The house of Axtell seems to have stolen away your proper self, Anna.
