He did not wish to learn that 'woman's talk', not he; and when one of the teachers advanced on him with a book and an ink-horn and waved them before him in a mild persuasive way, much as a churchwarden invitingly shakes the offertory bag under the nose of a rich but niggardly parishioner, he sprang up with a fierce oath and flashed Inkosi-kaas before the eyes of our learned friend, and there was an end of the attempt to teach him Zu-Vendi.
"Oh dear, yes!" she cried more brightly, "and before it has all gone, why, I shall be provided with somebody else's." Still she looked up at him rather pitifully, her eyes meeting his own, her chin invitingly raised with its delectable dimple. Now, Mark wished devoutly that the idea of that dimple as a sort of point d'appui had never entered his thoughts, but there was the regrettable fact.
And, throwing off her hat and cloak, Rose beckoned so invitingly that the gravest philosopher would have yielded. "A thousand thanks, but I'm afraid I shall hurt you," began Mac, much gratified, but mindful of past mishaps. "I'm not. Steve didn't manage his train well, for good dancers always loop theirs up.
Leslie's mood to talk was over for that morning and she went home, but not before she had been forced to take a bottle of perfume which she had carelessly picked up off Aurora's toilet-table, sniffed, and praised; also, lifted out of their vase, a bunch of orchids for her mother; and for Lily the box of sweets that had stood invitingly open on the sitting-room table.
"Now stop your teasing, child!" said the mother, pretending to slap her. "If it's fine to-morrow we want to go into the woods. Will you come with us?" Pelle would be glad to go; but he hesitated slightly before answering. "Come with us, Pelle," said Hanne, and she laid her hand invitingly on his shoulder. "And then you shall be my young man.
Her troubled grey eyes spelled something of this to Elinor, so she pulled a plump chair a little nearer to her own and patted it invitingly, just as Miss Asenath patted the couch for Arethusa to join her.

Thanks to Pee-wee, the door of the rustic lakeside garage stood invitingly open. "I won't I won't say anything about money; gee whiz, you needn't have any fear," Pee-wee said, making a play for his companion's good-will; "gee, I wouldn't do that I wouldn't. But you could take a medal, couldn't you? A scout good-will medal?" he added anxiously. "Maybe," said Mr. Swiper.
He quickened his steps a little as he led her down a sloping path, shut in on either side by tall trees, where there was a seat placed invitingly in the deepest shadow and where the dim uplifted moon cast but the faintest glimmer, just sufficiently to make the darkness visible. "Shall we stay here a little while?" he said, in a low tone. She made no reply.
As they entered the doors of the castle, which stood invitingly open, these also closed behind them and huge bolts shot into place. The animals had all accompanied the party into the castle, because they felt it would be dangerous for them to separate.
He waved his hand invitingly toward the bicycle. "You can go!" he said. To Miss Farrar's indignation Lathrop, instead of accepting his freedom, remained motionless. "I can't!" he said. "I'm on post. My captain ordered me to stay in front of this house until I was relieved." Miss Farrar, amazed at such duplicity, exclaimed aloud: "He is NOT on post!" she protested. "He's a scout!
