"You look older, when you don't smile," she added, and glanced at his grey hair. He laughed now. She was far, far franker than she was those many years ago, and it was very agreeable and refreshing. "Donovan, there, reproved me last night for frivolity," he said. "If Donovan Pasha has become grave, then there is hope for Egypt," she said, turning to Dicky with a new brightness.
I should more readily have accredited this report had his manoeuvres been better masked. As it was, I doubted it. Never was a more undisguised schemer, a franker, looser intriguer. He would analyze his own machinations: elaborately contrive plots, and forthwith indulge in explanatory boasts of their skill.
During the remaining formalities attending the purchase the salesman, observing that he dealt with a tolerant man of the world, became even franker. "Of course no one," he remarked pleasantly while couching the purchase in a chaste bed of white satin, "expects women's bracelet-watches to keep time. Not even the women." "Want 'em for looks," said the customer.
But is this the right way to do it? There is much to be said at first sight for making more strict the regulations under which prospectuses have to be issued under the Companies Acts, demanding a franker statement of the profits in the past, a fuller statement concerning the prices paid to vendors, and the prices paid by vendors to sub-vendors, and so forth.
But M'Iver and I put an end to that, and so won, as we thought, to the confidence of the elder lad in the bed, who had glunched low-browed among his franker brethren.

'Grow in the knowledge of your Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Get more and more intimate with Him, nearer to Him, and franker and more cordial with Him day by day. But there is another side to the injunction besides that. We are to grow in the grasp, the intellectual grasp and realisation of the truths which lie wrapped up and enfolded in Him.
"I came near getting married once," she said presently, with characteristic abruptness. "You!" cried Cynthia, looking around in amazement. "You see, I am franker than you, my dear though I never told any one else. I believe you can keep a secret." "Of course I can. Who was it anyone in Brampton, Miss Lucretia?" The question was out before Cynthia realized its import.
He comprehended perfectly this state of wilfulness in an uneducated sensitive man. "She has a steadfast look in her face, Robert. She doesn't look as if she trifled. I've really never seen a finer, franker girl in my life, if faces are to be trusted." "It's t' other way. There's no trifling in her case. She's frank. She fires at you point blank."
She was certainly, he realized, a very pretty woman, and very graceful and very amusing, and though she probably knew all about it, she was the franker and honester for her knowledge.
Glanville came up to me at once, and his countenance, usually close and reserved in its expression, assumed a franker and bolder aspect. "You have lately changed towards me," he said: "mindful of our former friendship, I have come to demand the reason." "Can Sir Reginald Glanville's memory," answered I, "supply him with no probable cause?"
