"Oh, what beautiful little shoes," she exclaimed ingratiatingly. "Pani mustn't walk in the snow with her beautiful feet." As the woman bent forward in order to help the maid, her husband threw a look at her low-necked dress and smirked. Then he pressed a resounding kiss on her smooth, cool neck.
"Very likely," returned Wiley, not venturing to look up, "my business takes me everywhere." "I thought I recognized you," went on the Widow ingratiatingly; "you're a mining man, aren't you, Mister er " "Wiley," he answered, and at this bold piece of effrontery Virginia caught her breath. "Ah, yes, I remember you now," said the Widow. "You knew my husband, of course Colonel Huff?
That front countenance took on a silly simper. And she put her two-faced head, now on one side, now on the other, ingratiatingly. "What am I here for!" she repeated in an injured tone. "And you ask me that, Miss? Why, what should I be doin' for you, lovie, but dancin' attendance."
The younger man had a jet-black mustache with long, drooping ends. Both wore red shirts, open at the neck, with sleeves rolled above the elbows. The younger held a half-smoked cigar, while his companion grasped a large fork, which he evidently had been using on the fish. For a few seconds the two couples regarded each other in silence. Then the man with the black mustache smiled ingratiatingly.
In his soul he knew that some day he would pick up the trail of that hell-pack and those human wolves and when that some day came it would be a day of reckoning, and the price that he would exact would not be small! He lay back on the bunk that Foo Sen had ingratiatingly allotted him. The air was close, heavy with the sweet, sickish smell of opium, and full of low, strange sounds and noises.
Kahn bowed and smiled ingratiatingly. "Mr. Carton," he began in a conciliatory tone, "I have intruded on your valuable time in the interest of my client, Mr. Jack Rubano." "Huh!" grunted Carton.

Kahn, far from resenting the familiarity, seemed rather to enjoy it and take it as his due measure of fame.
"You had ought to let me see the pore gentleman!" he added ingratiatingly. "Well, ain't you been seein' him every day fo' risin' two weeks and upwards? ain't you sat by him hours at a stretch?" demanded Mr. Cavendish fiercely. Sho that didn't count, he only kept a mutterin' sho! arollin' his head sideways, sho! And their six tow heads were rolled to illustrate their meaning.
He pressed his heart and then pointed to the owner of the castle. "Franzosen . . . great friend of the Franzosen" . . . and he grinned ingratiatingly at his protector. Don Marcelo remained at the castle until the following morning, and was astounded to see Georgette and her mother emerge unexpectedly from the depths of the ruined lodge. They were weeping at the sight of the French uniforms.
Her figure also left nothing to be desired, and she carried herself with grace and easy dignity. Mr. Doolittle, who had an eye for female pulchritude, ceased to regret the necessity of catering to a customer's whim and settled himself to a pleasant interview after rising to bow and offer her a chair. "Mademoiselle has called, I presume, about an investment," he began, ingratiatingly.
He heard the door being pushed open, and he gave a jump and turned his head. His father stood in the entrance to the attic. "Hello, father!" he said weakly, ingratiatingly.
