Hand and heart must be duly transferred, she supposed, whenever the time was up; but till then she must be free. This with her was not art, but necessity; yet the most accomplished art could have devised nothing so effectual to hold her lover. His strong sense had always protected him from the tricks of matchmaking mammas and their guileless maids.
The native has far too good an eye to business to lurk behind obelisk or column with intent to spring out and demand the purse of any stray unit of the cosmopolitan hordes which bring such wealth in the winter months to the land of the Pharaohs. Rather not! Far greater joy for him at full noon is palming off upon your guileless self the spurious scarab at a price 300% above its intrinsic worth.
And so Valerie coquetted with her lover, while the artist and Hortense were impatiently awaiting the moment when the Baroness should have given the girl her last kiss and blessing. At seven in the morning the Baron, perfectly happy for his Valerie was at once the most guileless of girls and the most consummate of demons went back to release his son and Celestine from their duties.
My Mother was sometimes extremely gay, laughing with a soft, merry sound. What I have since been told of the guileless mirth of nuns in a convent has reminded me of the gaiety of my parents during my early childhood.
For a full minute, in strained silence, the concentrated gaze of the Tressilvains was focused upon the guileless countenance of Malcourt; and discovered nothing except a fatuous cordiality. Lady Tressilvain drew a deep, noiseless breath and glanced at her husband.
"The people of other nations may be fools doubtless we all are but there is no other which proclaims the fact abroad with such guileless outbursts of raucous exultation." "And even we you and I who have thought more than others" he said, restlessly, "even we forget and half smile. There been too much smiling." She picked up an illustrated paper and opened it at a page filled by an ornate picture.
"And when I come I'll let you know. I'm just a country girl," she added, with a toss of her head, "and I don't get to the city often." Eugene liked what he considered the guileless naïveté of her confessions the frankness with which she owned up to simplicity and poverty. Most girls didn't. She almost made a virtue out of these thing at least they were charming as a confession in her.
Rodin took the greengrocer's basket in his hand, tucked his umbrella under his arm, and went with some uneasiness to ascertain who was this unexpected visitor. He opened the door, and found himself face to face with Rose-Pompon, the troublesome singer, and who now, with a light and pretty courtesy, said to him in the most guileless manner in the world, "M. Rodin, if you please?"
But, at the next words of the miner, and as Mr. Abercrombie mentioned "gold" and "Alaska," there came a cunning look over Andy's face. "Tom Swift isn't here just now," he said, wondering how he could turn to advantage the unexpected visit, and the impending information that the guileless old man was about to give under the mistaken idea that Andy was Tom's friend.
A friend of the house of whom the hostess had requested this favour took Madame Nelson to the buffet. A number of guileless individuals surrounded that lady with hopeful adoration. An ecstatic mood prevailed. The one regrettable feature of the occasion was that the host had to withdraw as quietly as possible, of course on account of a splitting head-ache.
