They hinted of all enamelled things that come out of the East of the peacock reflections of the tiles of Damascus and Cordova, of the franker polychromy of Rhodian kilns, of the subtler bloom of the dishes of Moorish Spain, of the brassier glazes of Minorca and Sicily all these things lay enticingly in epitome in these lustred Italian pots, as they glimmered with a furtive splendour.
The Sawyer parents were dreading signs of rebellion, and Hannah now added enticingly: "We're goin' to pass 'round the gingerbread and the ras'berry vinegar, and Susan Winters said yous girls could dress up in your new plaid dresses." The twins looked doubtful. Gingerbread and their new frocks! This gave the pastoral visitation a festive aspect.
"Do have a cup of tea," cried Kate, enticingly, with the view to a reprieve. "No, thank you; never touch it. There is not too much time, Miss Barrington." "I know, I know," with a resigned air, and a shrug to the four who had risen. And without another word they all mysteriously followed their summoner to the house. "What can they be going to do with Mr. Barton?" asked one of the ladies.
If you can do so effectively, making still more concrete advances upon the path which Fechner and Bergson have so enticingly opened up, if you can gather philosophic conclusions of any kind, monistic or pluralistic, from the particulars of life, I will say, as I now do say, with the cheerfullest of hearts, 'Ring out, ring out my mournful rhymes, but ring the fuller minstrel in.
Outside the dugout the wind enveloped him softly, enticingly, kissing his curls, kissing the rosy sunburn, the tender down of his cheek which still retained the kissable outline of babyhood.

At her timid ring the door was opened by a broad-cheeked girl, enticingly compact in apron and black frock, whose bright color, thick lips, and rogue eyes came of anything but London. It flashed across Nedda that this must be the girl for whose sake she had faced Mr. Cuthcott at the luncheon-table! And she said: "Are you Wilmet Gaunt?"
His thoughts followed the flight of the blue mountain passes that lead so enticingly to Italy, and as he looked into the distance, dim and faint as the dream that had gone, there rose in his mind an even fairer land than Italy, the land of dream, where for every one, even for Mike Fletcher, there grows some rose or lily unattainable.
"But he's Daddy's offiss-partner man," Judy objected, though without much vim or heat. Maria did not answer. Her eyes were glued upon the other engine. "All black and burnt and full of the very horridest diseases," put in Tim, referring to the heart of the destroyed Mr. Jinks beneath the engine. He glanced up enticingly at his elder sister, whom he longed to draw into the vindictive holocaust.
I wonder what he would have done had some one enticingly rattled a shilling on a plate? During the day we were allowed to walk round the barrack square for about three hours with eighty British and a hundred and fifty French soldiers, some of whom were daily detailed to work in the town.
For all around him his comrades lay sleeping, and if aroused, they would kill the intruder without hesitation. Reaching into a crude deerskin pouch slung across his shoulder, he pulled forth a long strand of cooked meat. Holding it outward enticingly, he motioned toward the terrified hunter. Slowly, haltingly, the shadow moved forward, too near death from starvation to be cautious.
