He turned deliberately from the bravado of her look, and began to take the covers off the breakfast dishes. Toby leaned back provocatively in her chair, and whistled under her breath. She was plainly in a dare-devil mood, but it was not her custom to dare Jake. "What have you done to your hands?" he said, as she reached out for the plate he offered her. She coloured deeply.
Such censures as the attitude of that official involves may be dismissed with a very light sort of disdain. To represent Shaw as profane or provocatively indecent is not a matter for discussion at all; it is a disgusting criminal libel upon a particularly respectable gentleman of the middle classes, of refined tastes and somewhat Puritanical views.
"Yes, I know, and now what do the people of St. Marys think about the works? Eh, Belding, what do you say?" "They don't think very much, sir they've got into the way of taking them for granted." Clark laughed. "I think I know that too. But you don't take me for granted?" Here he glanced provocatively at Elsie. The girl recovered herself with difficulty.
She was mischievously half aware of the disturbing effect of this sort of thing upon Lucile. "What has there been between them?" Mary asked, when it became clear that her aunt needed prompting.

You hardly know perhaps; but Chloe knows, And pours you out the necessary dose, Meticulously measuring to scale, The cup of Circe or the Holy Grail An actress she at home in every role, Can flout or flatter, bully or cajole, And on occasion by a stretch of art Can even speak the language of the heart, Can lisp and sigh and make confused replies, With baby lips and complicated eyes, Indifferently apt to weep or wink, Primly pursue, provocatively shrink, Brazen or bashful, as the case require, Coax the faint baron, curb the bold esquire, Deride restraint, but deprecate desire, Unbridled yet unloving, loose but limp, Voluptuary, virgin, prude and pimp.
Yes, I know that the others smiled, too, constantly, provocatively; but sometimes the set of their lips was likely to seem anything but the curl of mirth. But not Felicity's. It never lost its challenge. And her dancing was like that, tireless, serenely abandoned, the essence of knowing grace.
His wrinkled features, ironic but benevolent, intimated that he knew she wished to take an unfair advantage of the gifts which Nature had bestowed on her, and that he did not object.
