Gray had gone through this same conversation every year since any of the girls could remember, and never failed to caution the head girl not to overstudy. "There's no fear of that, Mrs. Gray," replied Miriam boastfully. "My lessons give me very little trouble." "Mrs. Gray," broke in Nora O'Malley mischievously, "Miriam Nesbit has a close second in the class.
He was so different from Kent that staring into his deep black eyes, Lydia suddenly felt his alien race. "I must go in and dress," she said. "It's time to get supper." Charlie nodded and untied his canoe. After he was seated with paddle lifted, he glanced up at her mischievously. "You're a very nice little girl," he said; "I shall come again. You may call me Uncle Charlie."
"Don't pay any attention to her, Hippy," called Grace mischievously. "Come up on the veranda where it's nice and cool. I give you permission to sit in the porch swing beside the haughty Mrs. Wingate. Better still, I'll bring you some fruit lemonade and a whole plate of those fat little chocolate cakes you like so much."
"I ain't ever gone with a feller that I didn't know his name before!" she confided before the curtain rose. "It's Joe," he said, "Joe Ridder, What's your front name?" "Miss Beaver," she said mischievously. "What do you think it is?" Joe could not guess. "Say," she went on, "I knew who you was all right even if I didn't know yer name. I seen you over to the hall when they had the boxin' match."
The Chueta winked one eye and smiled mischievously, sure of his cleverness in guessing the desires of his friends. Famous captain! Ever since his arrival at Can Mallorquí the entire family seemed dependent upon his orders, admiring him as a personage of immense power, tempered by eternal joviality.
Ben Zoof, who had just entered the hall, caught the professor's last sentence, and without saying a word, went out again and was absent for some minutes. When he returned, he said, "If you want to weigh this comet of yours, I suppose you want a pair of scales; but I have been to look, and I cannot find a pair anywhere. And what's more," he added mischievously, "you won't get them anywhere."
"And she didn't faint at the prospect?" asked Mollie, mischievously. "The idea!" cried Betty. "Of course not! She was delighted! So, as soon as our train arrived, which was only a few minutes ago, I started looking for you. As I came up from the station, leaving mamma to go home in the car, I spied you three just turning into the candy store."
The Hessian fly, the wire-worm, the flea, and grubs and scale insects thrive mischievously. The black and grey rats have driven the native rat into the recesses of the forest. A score of weeds have come, mixed with badly-screened grass-seed, or in any of a hundred other ways. The Scotch thistle seemed likely at one stage to usurp the whole grass country. Acts of Parliament failed to keep it down.
"Only ten days more, my Graciosa," she said mischievously. "Art thou going to run back to thy mother in thy night-gown, like Josefita Olvera?" "Never will I be such a fool! Eulogia, I have a husband for thee." "To the tunnel of the mission with husbands! I shall be an old maid like Aunt Anastacia, fat, with black whiskers." Graciosa laughed. "Thou wilt marry and have ten children."
I cannot be of opinion that by his exclusion they have had any loss at all. A man whose opinions are so very adverse to theirs, adverse, as it was expressed, "as pole to pole," so mischievously as well as so directly adverse that they found themselves under the necessity of solemnly disclaiming them in full Parliament, such a man must ever be to them a most unseemly and unprofitable incumbrance.
