"Not alone though, Loveliness!" said Anthony, between shut teeth. "In my dread I confided in Diana " "And she went with you," said I hoarsely, "in Danby's chaise!" "Yes. When Sir Geoffrey saw Diana she seemed to fascinate him he refused to give up my letters said he could not part with them.
Marietta was determined that Angela should appear youthful, gay, active, just the things which she knew instinctively would fascinate Eugene. Finally Eugene came. He arrived at Blackwood at noon. Despite her objections Angela met him, dressed smartly and, as urged by Marietta, carrying herself with an air.
He had spent many an hour which had lingered in his memory hours in places made enchanting to the eye by every device of cunning, in the society of women chosen for their beauty, their wit, their power to allure, to fascinate, to intoxicate.

But she was still very handsome with difficulty. She hardened herself after the fight and resolved that, if she chose, she could still make almost any man love her. That she could easily fascinate she knew.
She was a singer of some repute, and our social circle was what is commonly called "literary and artistic." To do her justice, however, she made no attempt to fascinate him, nor even to be particularly agreeable to him.
