"Much more than satisfied; very much more than satisfied." She held out her hand to him, and smiled ravishingly. "We understand each other now, Marston," she said simply; which tied Marston only the tighter to her as she well knew. And Marston knew it, too. Also he knew that he had not the shade of a chance with her and that she knew that he knew it.
In short a personality and a type: she sings ravishingly, she gets angry, she gets tender, she makes succulent dainties TO SURPRISE US WITH, and every day of our vacation there is a little fete which she organizes. Little Aurore promises to be very sweet and calm, understanding in a marvelous manner what is said to her and YIELDING TO REASON at two years of age.
She was dressed ravishingly; slightly in a foreign style, the bodice being peaked at the waist, as was then the Portuguese persuasion. The neck, too, was deliciously veiled with fine lace and thoroughly veiled, for it was a feature the Countess did not care to expose to the vulgar daylight.
But I could not resist the magic of her glance, while, together with the cherry-like freshness of her lips, and the raven blackness of those glossy curls that hung so ravishingly over her fair blushing cheeks, discovering a delicately arched brow, and enhancing the sweetness of her oval face, carried me away captive, and made it seem as if heaven had created our loves to flow on in one unhallowed stream of joy.

She repeated it after me. "I shall pray for you all my life," she said.
"Yes, I am come," he answered, "but small thanks to you, madam." Dissimulation was not one of Jawkins's accomplishments. "This is no place for a scene," she said, in a low tone. "If you wish an interview with me there will be an opportunity later. The drawing-room begins at ten. You will see me there." She smiled and showed her teeth ravishingly, despite the serious purport of her words.

The flower is not strikingly beautiful nor ravishingly scented, but it flowers nine months out of the year; smothered with street dust and scorched by the summer sun, you will find that faithful old plumbago plugging along undismayed. A plant like this should be encouraged but the misguided amateur gardener as a rule despises it.
Spencer will shift her aim to me, I'll take a chance." Mrs. Clephane gave a suppressed exclamation and an involuntary motion of protest and Mrs. Spencer saw her. "Mrs. Clephane seems to be concerned lest I accept!" she jeered. Mrs. Clephane blushed ravishingly, and Harleston caught her in the act; whereupon she blushed still more, and turned away.
