A first group had strolled up, indolent and insolent at the spectacle of them. "Photographs! Photographs! Take the folks back home a signed photograph of Teenie only ten cents, one dime. Give the kiddies a treat signed photograph of little Teenie!" She would solicit thus, canorous of phrase, a fan of her cardboard likenesses held out, invitational.
The hood of the dark veranda, surmounted with its high ruche of snow, seemed to incline, invitational. Yet when Marjorie Clark pulled out the old-fashioned bell-handle her face sickened as she stood and she was down the steps again, the tightness squeezing her throat, her gloved hands fumbling the gate latch, and her knee flung against it, pressing it outward.
"Not at all, if there's anything here to interest you, the place is yours." Elsie glanced at him curiously. She was conscious both of disappointment and of a certain invitational thrill. His assurance was not just what she had looked for, but yet it stimulated her thought. He was very different from every one else.

Looka my hair curling up like it does in a rain-storm! Feel my skirt down here at the hem! Can you beat it? I ain't wet, he says!" "Here, drink this, Doll, and warm up." "No." She threw a dozen brilliant glances into the crowd, tossed an invitational nod to the group adjoining, and clapped her hands for the iridescent Christmas ball that dangled over their table.
They had rival debating teams between which were held more or less periodic contests, and in the numerous social events there were frequently exchanges of invitational courtesies. The boys plotted their big surprise on the girls in true scout fashion.
