I found that I had a very perfect idea of Johnson's figure, from the portrait of him painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds.... Mr Davies mentioned my name, and respectfully introduced me to him. I was much agitated; and recollecting his prejudice against the Scotch, of which I had heard much, I said to Davies, "Don't tell where I come from." "From Scotland," cried Davies roguishly.
"When we played by the schoolyard," remarked her youngster cousin dryly, from between huge mouthfuls of fish and potato, "she was standing on the high hilltop and looking out to sea. I am certain I saw her wave something to the sailors, only there were no sailors there," and the urchin glanced roguishly across the table at Eyllen. "Ha, you rogue!
"Poor thing! she must have been fond of her husband to jump in after him." "It was an inadvertence a little absence of mind," said Hans, creasing his face roguishly, and throwing himself into a chair not far from Mirah. "Who can be fond of a jealous baritone, with freezing glances, always singing asides? that was the husband's rôle, depend upon it. Nothing can be neater than his getting drowned.
But they were keen eyes, steady, sparkling and merry eyes, for all that; they were deep-set and long, and they sloped a trifle, high on the inside corners; pent in by pepper-and-salt brows, bushy, tufted and thick, roguishly aslant from the outer corners up to where they all but met above the Wellingtonian nose.
Am I right, Pratt?" "You most certainly are, Captain," the young man agreed. "Or anywhere outside the Panhandle." Frances smiled at him roguishly. "Even from Boston, Pratt?" she whispered. But Pratt forgave her for that. Another picture of the Bar-T ranch-house on a late afternoon. The slanting rays of a westering sun lie across the floor of the main veranda.
"For that reason you would " she smiled roguishly "have I guessed it?" "Be your slave!" I exclaimed. "Be your unrestricted property, without a will of my own, of which you could dispose as you wished, and which would therefore never be a burden to you.
Boges had slipped out quietly before him. In the forecourt he found one of the gardener's boys from the hanging-gardens. "What do you want here?" asked Boges. "I have something for the prince Bartja." "For Bartja? Has he asked your master to send him some seeds or slips?" The boy shook his sunburnt head and smiled roguishly. "Some one else sent you then?" said Boges becoming more attentive.
"And where," asked Tommy, severely, "did you tell her that you had been mistaken in thinking me jealous of a baby and anxious to be considered a wonder?" She hid her face for a moment, and then looked up roguishly into his. "I have not told her that yet!" she replied. It was so audacious of her that he took her by the ears.
"And have nobody but Charley see how handsome you are!" exclaimed Fanny. Rachel didn't color at this, but remarked, a little roguishly, that she would rather have one of those sidelong looks I used to give her in the old school-house than all the admiration in the world. This was the time when I chose my profession, as mentioned in the beginning.
"Not yet," he replied. "I'll try 'em one of these days." Ten days later, on a Sunday when he chanced not to have gone out with his aristocratic friend Matthew Peel- Swynnerton, he did at length open the box and take out a cigar. "Now," he observed roguishly, cutting the cigar, "we shall see, Mrs. Plover!" He often called her Mrs. Plover, for fun.
