Evelyn did not often, as in the case of the birdlike Lolo, give her young tyrant cause for offence; if she sometimes sought another's company, it was done in a roguish spirit from a feminine desire to tease. Perhaps, too, she was at heart not averse to Laura's tantrums, or to testing her own power in quelling them. On the whole, though, she was very careful of her little friend's sensitive spots.
While the two knights were wearing rather a crest-fallen appearance at her reprimand, the third, never far off, came upon the scene, and she repeated her caveat to him also. Seeing, then, how great was the concern of all at her peremptory mood, the lady's manner softened, and she said with a roguish smile 'Have patience, have patience, you foolish men!
"Remember your liberties," rejoined Mareschal, who seemed to take a mischievous delight in precipitating the movements of the enthusiasm which he had excited, like a roguish boy, who, having lifted the sluice of a mill-dam, enjoys the clatter of the wheels which he has put in motion, without thinking of the mischief he may have occasioned.
We often find peeping out in Defoe's writings that roguish cynicism which we should expect in a man whose own life was so far from being straightforward.
She bounded into the house and was halfway upstairs before Mr. Minturn could get out his notebook and pencil, and in less than ten minutes was down again equipped for her trip. "'Jack Robinson," solemnly repeated Mr. Minturn, but with a roguish twinkle in his eyes as he handed her the leaf which he had torn from his notebook, with his order and the address of a Boston firm written on it.

It was all fun to her, all flattering to her vanity, all a part of the noise and excitement and well-being that was making her spirits mount.
The little man ran down the stairs, Red Wull jostling him as he went, and hurried to the window in the kitchen. It was a sweet, laughing face that looked up at him from the frame, demure yet arch, shy yet roguish a face to look at and a face to love. As he looked a wintry smile, wholly tender, half tearful, stole over the little man's face.
"Yes; one or two fly away from the nest pretty well every year," answered Kalle, "and now I suppose we shan't have any more. It's an unfortunate figure we've stopped at a horrid figure; but Maria's become deaf in that ear, and I can't do anything alone." Kalle had got back his roguish look. "I'm sure we can do very well with what we've got," said Maria.
Her bunch of flowers in her hand, modest, her eyes downcast, but showing a roguish leg, the pretty actress sprang forward to the door in a low courtesy, almost on her knees, a pose she had worked at for a week. Instead of the Bey, Jansoulet got out, stiff and troubled, and passed without even seeing her.
The poor girl shiveringly hid her face in her hands and sobbed audibly. The next morning the cottage on the knoll presented a scene of busy preparation, the climax of which brought forth Little Wolf rosy, and roguish, wrapped in blankets and shawls, sufficient, we doubt not, to have covered over more land than the nether garments of the famous Ten Breeches.
