But what would they do at her! Oh! could she bear Aunt Barbara's dreadful set Diana face again, and not write as she was told! The poor weak little heart shrank with terror as she only looked at Aunt Barbara's chair not much like the Sir Giles de Umfraville she had thought of just now. "And I'm naughty now; I did betray my trust: I'm much naughtier than I was. Oh, if Papa was but here!"
She knew I hated sums that horrid kind of long rows worst of all and she just gave me them on purpose; and then when I said I wouldn't do them, she went on coaxing and talking nonsense that way that just makes me naughtier. I'd rather do sums all day than have her talk like that and then to go and tell stories to mamma I hate her, nasty, pretending thing.
I grew naughtier and naughtier, till at last I have been false and sly, and have done this to baby and I would not have cared then if if she would not have been oh! so good! Sophy made no farther resistance to the arm that was thrown round her, as her father said, 'So good, that she has overcome evil with good.
Naughty, naughty!" From below rose a fervid and startled exclamation. "Naughtier, naughtier!" deprecated the visitor. "Are these the cold and measured terms of science?" "You haven't lived up to your bet," complained the censured one. "Indeed I have! I always play fair, and pay fair. Here I am, as per contract." "Nearly half an hour late." "Not at all. Four-thirty was the time."
Even if they are unhappy very unhappy it is astonishing how easily they can be prevented from finding it out, or at any rate from attributing it to any other cause than their own sinfulness. To parents who wish to lead a quiet life I would say: Tell your children that they are very naughty much naughtier than most children.
Poyser, who professed to despise all personal attractions and intended to be the severest of mentors, continually gazed at Hetty's charms by the sly, fascinated in spite of herself; and after administering such a scolding as naturally flowed from her anxiety to do well by her husband's niece who had no mother of her own to scold her, poor thing! she would often confess to her husband, when they were safe out of hearing, that she firmly believed, "the naughtier the little huzzy behaved, the prettier she looked."
"Good-bye," I called, and, without waiting to see Lady Ver, he tramped down the stairs and away. "Evangeline, what have you been doing?" she asked, when I got into her room, where her maid was settling her veil before the glass, and trembling over it. Lady Ver is sometimes fractious with her worse than I am with Véronique, far. "Evangeline, you look naughtier than ever confess at once."
He was a man of the world; they were ladies, delicate, unfit for coping with the world, necessarily ignorant of its naughtier, darker ways; he would do everything for them: and by degrees he did almost everything for Miss Baker. And so that lady was charmed without knowing it. Let us do her full justice. She had not the remotest idea of opening a flirtation with Sir Lionel Bertram.
"Are you afraid of earthquakes?" asked Rezanov, who once more had transferred his comprehensive gaze from battery sites to her face. "I cross myself. It is like feeling your grave turn over. But I fancy the poor old earth is like the people on her; she gets tired of being good and is all the naughtier for having been sober too long.
He was silent a few moments, tracing lines in the dust with the point of his scabbard. Cigarette, with the cigar in her mouth, stamped her foot impatiently. "Corporal Victor! Are you going to dream there all night? What is to be done with this dog of an Arab?" She was angered by him; she was in the mood to make herself seem all the rougher, fiercer, naughtier, and more callous.
