Lucy, with a glance asking her mother's leave, tasted the tea she had roguishly ordered. "We do not have tea like this," she said; "is it tea?" "Like a wang's," said Sky-High, blinking. "Where did you get it?" asked Lucy. "Out of my tea-canister," said Sky-High.
Thereupon the liveliest of the girls took a rose from her bosom, and roguishly held it on high, as if to ask whether such a gift would be welcome. She was answered with enthusiasm.

"Well," he said, "I must be off, I reckon." "Shall you see Mr. Boutwood?" "I might.... I know where to catch him, I fancy."

And the large existence of the male made her envious. "Going to see him now?" "Well, yes." George smiled roguishly.
At first her old friend's audacious jest had offended her maidenly coyness; but if Diodoros had always loved her, so had she always loved him; and as other well-conducted girls had been content to have the like done to them, and her companion so confidently and roguishly sued for pardon, she gave him a smile which filled his heart with rapture, and said more than words.

I kissed her; and then she drew me towards Rachel, who stood, like one in despair, trembling, blushing, almost weeping. "Charley," cried Fanny, roguishly, "kiss me, kiss my friend. This is my friend. Won't you kiss her, too?"
When the dancers began to return, Ray quietly remarked: "My darling, I am not going down to the company again; I feel guilty to have you sit moping here, while I am playing the gallant cavalier to other girls." Mona laughed out softly, but gleefully, at this speech. "I trust you will always be as conscientious and dutiful, my loyal knight," she roguishly retorted.
His host glanced roguishly at him, and a smile of amusement hovered about his lips as he replied: "Certainly, if you wish, but I give you fair warning that she is a dangerous party, and especially so to widowers there are a dozen, more or less, who have already had their wings thoroughly singed." Mr. Palmer smiled with an air of calm superiority.
"Yes," Blinky insisted, blinking roguishly, "drop in any time. Take pot luck. We're plain people, Mr. Duncan, but allus glad to see our friends. Drop in any time." Josie accompanied him to the front gate, where etiquette required him to linger for a parting chat.... "Good-bye." The girl gave him her hand. "I'm real glad you came at last."
