There were some of the young ladies, though, for whom I felt no liking Miss Pearl Pennington, who plays light leads, and her friend, Miss Laura Dixon, the ingenue." "They were in vaudeville until recently," remarked Alice. "So Russ told me. Miss Pennington seemed very pretty." "Passably so," agreed Mr. DeVere. "Well, our living problem is solved for us, anyway. Now I must study my new part.
Cora was my ingenue opposite, it fell out, and so we played at love-making, while meeting coldly at the family dining table. Our engagement in the town hall extended through two March evenings and was largely patronized. If my recollection is not distorted, I was masterful that night at least, Joe Pritchard agreed that I was "the best part of the show."
Lynde bit his lip, and felt that the blackest criminals of antiquity were as white as driven snow compared with Preston. "The prince in the story, you know," continued Miss Bowlsby, with her smile of ingenue, "hunted high and low until he found her again." "That prince was a very energetic fellow," said Lynde, hastily putting on his old light armor.
The same must be said also of dénoûment and of ingénue French words which really fill a gap in our vocabulary and which are none the less abhorrent to our speech habits. The most that is likely to happen is that they may shed their accents and more or less approximate an English pronunciation, dee-noo-meant, perhaps, and inn-je-new, an approximation which will be sternly resisted by the literate.
Couple that with the eyes he makes at you, and you've got assurance twice assured. You ought to have guessed it from the first syllable he uttered.

The favor was to provide himself with a father-in-law, and that father-in-law the multi-millionaire parent of the raven-haired, crafty-eyed ingénue, who had begun angling for him that June night at the country club. She made the suggestion to David on the eve of the arrival of all of Eleanor's guardians for the week-end. Mrs.
She is essentially what they call on the stage an ingenue character; that is, one that remains inexperienced in the midst of experience; and it is in this character that she contributes to the catastrophe of the drama. If Hawthorne appears anywhere in his own fiction, it is not in "The Blithedale Romance," but in the role of Kenyon.
Never hogged a scene that belonged to them. Never cut their lines. Never patronized them. They usually played ingénue parts, and their big line was that uttered on coming into a room looking for Harrietta. It was: "Ah, there you are!" How can you really know Harrietta unless you realize the deference with which she was treated in her own little sphere?
Close to him, he found, was the poet of the party, got up in the most correct professional costume long hair, velvet coat, eye-glass and all. His extravagance, however, was of the most conventional type. Only his vanity had a touch of the sublime. Langham, who possessed a sort of fine-ear gift for catching conversation, heard him saying to an open-eyed ingénue beside him,
On the crowded stage, where scene-shifters and machinists are running hither and thither, jostling one another in the soft, snowy light from the wings, soon to give place, when the curtain rises, to the brilliant light from the theatre, Cardailhac in black coat and white cravat, his hat cocked over one ear, casts a last glance over the arrangement of the scenery, hastens the workmen, compliments the ingénue, humming a tune the while, radiant and superb.
