Look on this form, where humor, quaint and sly, Dimples the cheek, and points the beaming eye; Where gay invention seems to boast its wiles In amorous hint, and half-triumphant smiles.

He would wave his fiddle-bow a while, then commence playing with desperate energy, moving his whole body to the measure, till the sweat rolled from his brow. A book was lying on the stand before him, but he made no use of it. He often glanced around with a kind of half-triumphant smile at the restless crowd, whose feet could scarcely be restrained from bounding to the magic measure.
And he was too much startled and impressed ugly, cold-hearted little wretch though he was by the sight before him to notice the strange, half-triumphant, half-defiant expression on Diana's dark beautiful face. "There they are," it seemed to say, "and could anything be lovelier? Wouldn't you like to have them?"
Every one listened eagerly, and none more so than the farmer. "You're done for," he said slowly, casting a half-malevolent, half-triumphant glance at the three Northerners. "Not by a great deal," said Watson.

Anne resigned herself to his company until she reached the gate of Patty's Place, which she coldly shut in his face, fondly supposing she had seen the last of him. But when, fifteen minutes later, Phil opened the door, there sat the rusty-brown cat on the step. More, he promptly darted in and sprang upon Anne's lap with a half-pleading, half-triumphant "miaow."
