And suddenly in the eyes dawned a smile sweet, friendly, a touch of roguishness, profoundly reassuring in its all humanness. I felt my heart expand as though freed from fetters, a recrudescence of confidence in the essential reality of things as though in nightmare the struggling consciousness should glimpse some familiar face and know the terrors with which it strove were but dreams.
Benjamin Dorn replied that that was not an impossible wish, suggesting at the same time in his best brand of juvenile roguishness that there was a certain solemn ceremony that he would not think of celebrating without having a vehicle such as she had described. Philippina giggled, and said: “Oi, oi, you’re all right.” Whereupon Benjamin Dorn, grinning with embarrassment, looked down.
Having by this time regularly installed herself as the exponent of the Long-pursued as one who, by no initiative of his own, had been chosen by some superior Power as the vehicle of her next debut, she attracted him by the cadences of her voice; she would suddenly drop it to a rich whisper of roguishness, when the slight rural monotony of its narrative speech disappeared, and soul and heart or what seemed soul and heart resounded.
Madeline was never in evidence, having precipitately fled to the inner room. On one of these nights Cal Galbraith dropped in. Encouraging news had just come down from Stuart River, and Madeline had surpassed herself not in walk alone, and carriage and grace, but in womanly roguishness.
He is wise, after the way of the wild beasts, and knows that his digestive organs are not in condition to do hard work; but when the right hour comes, he will have a meal that will make up for much fasting. The roguishness and capacity for mischief that Black Bruin had shown during his first year of cubhood, increased tenfold, as he grew older and stronger.
"Who are you?" asked Nicholas Snyders, taking no pains to disguise his disappointment. "I am a pedlar," answered the stranger. His voice was clear and not unmusical, with just the suspicion of roguishness behind. "Not wanting anything," answered Nicholas Snyders drily. "Shut the door and be careful of the step."
"Madame d'Armand?" I said. "That is not the name. You mean Mademoiselle Ward." "No, no!" He shook his head and his fat cheeks bulged with a smile which I believe he intended to express a respectful roguishness. If she did not like the ocean there below the chateau, the ocean would have to move!
We've got the threshers day after tomorrow. We've been cooking up." Beneath Ben's bonhomie and roguishness there was much shyness. The two would plod along the road together in a sort of blissful agony of embarrassment. The neighbors were right in their surmise that there was no definite understanding between them. But the thing was settled in the minds of both.
External morality is hastily drawn on as a decent overcoat to hide the tag-rags of his roguishness, while he magnanimously restores the purse to the owner. Jones left his umbrella in a cab one night. Discovering that he hadn't it under his arm, he rushed after the cabman; but he was gone.
Edwin was now convinced that he had done well to write the letter. But as the day passed, Edwin began to ask himself: "Has he had the letter?" There was no sign of the letter in his father's demeanour, which, while not such as to make it credible that he ever had moods of positive gay roguishness, was almost tolerable, considering his headache and his nausea.
