He made a graceful bow as he spoke, a bow that would have done credit to the man from New Orleans. It was so well done, indeed, that Lily unconsciously bowed in return, as she said, with a look that savored a little of roguishness: "Oh, hursh, Mr. Peters! You des a-guyin' me dat what you doin'." "Guyin' nothin'," said Peters, grinning broadly as he noted the expression of Pierre's face.

Gone was the elaborate coquetry of yesterday; gone the quiet roguishness of yesteryear; gone was all the Judith that I knew, and in her place stood a hollow-eyed woman shaking at gates eternally barred. "I thought you would come this morning. I had that lingering faith in you." "Your face haunted me all night," I said. "I was bound to come." "So, this is the end of it all," she remarked, stonily.

"Then run along and get me another. I've no money you must say well, think it out for yourself; you've got a head." The master looked at him with an expression which went to Pelle's heart, so that he often felt like bursting into tears. Hitherto Pelle's life had been spent on the straight highway; he did not understand this combination of wit and misery, roguishness and deadly affliction.

In the first place, the physical condition of William Adolphus was deplorable; he leered rueful roguishness out of bilious eyes, and Victoria could not endure the sight of him; secondly, she was sure that I had said something what she did not know, but something to Elsa; for Elsa had been found crying over her coffee in bed in the morning.

"George! You frightened me nearly out of my life. It's not holy. You're hurting me awfully." "My child, it is holy. Trust in me." "George, you are hurting." "Scorn that. It is delicious!" He let her from his arms; but he held her hands, and for a space, looking at one another, they did not speak. Despite he was in wild spirits, despite her roguishness, for a space they did not speak.

"Come, uncle, you are lazy," cried Nell, a touch of her old roguishness making playful her voice. Mr. Wells lay still, and smiled up at them. "You are not ill?" cried Nell, seeing for the first time how pallid was his face. "Dear Nellie, I am not ill. I do not suffer, but I am dying," he answered, again with that strange, sweet smile. "Oh-h-h!" breathed Nell, falling on her knees. "No, no, Mr.

If I say, "Where is the little rogue?" she hides behind her mother's chair, or covers her face with her hands and peeps out at me with an expression of genuine roguishness. She obeys many commands like these: "Come," "Kiss," "Go to papa," "Shut the door," "Give me the biscuit."

Besides all this, she was hipshot and a thought crooked on the right side. Her name was Ciuta, but, for that she had such a dog's visnomy of her own, she was called of every one Ciutazza; and for all she was misshapen of her person, she was not without a spice of roguishness. The lady called her and said to her, 'Harkye, Ciutazza, an thou wilt do me a service this night.

And with an amiable roguishness Elizabeth kissed the tips of Anna's fingers. "No, no, be serious for once," said Anna; "laugh not, Elizabeth, but listen to me!"
