Well, I never was at a loss when we were boy and girl together." She paused and they heard the sound of music. "There's a frilly style of talk that belongs with that down there," she went on. There was a hint of contempt in her gesture. "But you and I used to get along better or worse with plain speech." The flash of a smile of her own softened her moue.
"Indeed, Mademoiselle!" said Bertin; "and then what becomes of our equality, liberty and fraternity?" Annette made a moue that signified "Don't talk about that!" and continued: "They should have a separate drive for cabs that of Vincennes, for instance." "You are behind the times, little one, and evidently do not know that we are swimming in the full tide of democracy.
I have still the insatiable desire for conquest, but now I want to go up against odds and win, to bring into camp only opponents worthy of my steel." "But that," he said, with conventional politeness, "is unthinkable. There can be none entirely worthy of you!" She made a little moué at the wearisome compliment. "Why do all men say the same things!
And now, Dorian, get up on the platform, and don't move about too much, or pay any attention to what Lord Henry says. He has a very bad influence over all his friends, with the single exception of myself." Dorian Gray stepped up on the dais with the air of a young Greek martyr, and made a little moue of discontent to Lord Henry, to whom he had rather taken a fancy. He was so unlike Basil.
How much do you think," she said, with a little moue, "we can do in the way of deporting blacks out of my earnings well, say as teacher of music, or of French?" "I'll not believe it you why, you've been used to riches, luxuries, all your life! And I why, I've helped impoverish you! I've been spending your money. A ship-load of blacks, against you? My God! I'd have cut my hand off rather."
Pettit, what's the matter with you joining our party for the day? Dicky here has been howling for another man to help lug the grub all morning. Unless you are set on a solitary day that man 'might as well be you'" she punctuated the parody with a mocking little moue. I had a sneaking little notion that Dicky would have been glad of the opportunity to box Lillian's ears for her suggestion.
"And mademoiselle" with a curtsy to the lady in grey "has brought you all this long way through the heat to see me?" "I have brought mademoiselle," Henrietta answered contemptuously, before the Frenchwoman had finished the moue and the shrug which with her always preceded speech; "and a fine plague I had to make her come."
Howe much then ought so many worthy examples to moue you to plant here?
"No," I answered, "but we are approaching it at a rate of six miles an hour." She made a moue of disappointment. "But that is equivalent to one hundred and forty-four miles in twenty-four hours," I added reassuringly. Her face brightened. "And how far have we to go?" "Siberia lies off there," I said, pointing to the west. "But to the south-west, some six hundred miles, is Japan.
The car stopped, a narrow-chested door slid open, a gush of hectic light coloured morbidly the faces of alighting passengers, a blare of syncopated noise singularly unmusical saluted the astonished ears of Lanyard and Cecelia Brooke. She met his gaze with a smiling moue and slightly lifted eyebrows. "More than we bargained for?" he laughed.
