"Same thing," replied Fletcher promptly; and raising his hand, he idly toyed with a huge gold ear-ring which she wore. Still resting her elbows upon the table and bending down between us, Zarmi turned her slumbering, half-closed black eyes again upon me, then slowly, languishingly, upon Fletcher. She replaced the yellow cigarette between her lips. He continued to toy with the ear-ring.
"My beloved Amanda, the charm of your angelic features enraptures my regard." It is earnest; but it's not the way those things are done. And what visions such books recall of the days when they were read, the girls in pinafores, the boys in roundabouts, the elders looking languishingly on, when the reader comes to tender passages! And was not a certain Mary Jane another Ellinor?
I altered my tone. "Chaste and beautiful one, dost thou realize that at this rate we shall reach Gretna next Tuesday week?" "So soon, Jack?" languishingly. "Glorious," said I: "that is, aye, mistress. Remember, I have six spare axles disguised as golf clubs." "But what of my father? His grey hairs "
"An' even if ye mane it, Misther Braboy, the time is liable to come when things 'll be different; for service is uncertain, Misther Braboy.

The Lady Carlisle of the same play a creature in the main of Browning's imagination had the play been Elizabethan or Jacobean would have followed her lord in a page's dress, have lived on half a smile a day, and perhaps have succeeded in dying languishingly and happily upon his sword; she is not quite unreal, nor yet quite real; something much better than a stage property and not wholly a living woman; more of a Beaumont and Fletcher personage of the boards and as such effective than a Shakespearian piece of nature.
You never saw a married man talking to his wife in public in that way unless they were talking about the last month's bills. Why, it is perfectly brazen." Keith laughed. "Where is her husband?" she demanded, as Mrs. Wentworth floated by, a vision of brocaded satin and lace and white shoulders, supported by Ferdy Wickersham, who was talking earnestly and looking down into her eyes languishingly.
