A little frightened at the hot wave surging through her veins she was betrayed into another indiscretion. "And you," she murmured seductively, "are you glad to see me?" "I'll tell you later, when I am calm enough to phrase my joy in more conventional words than my present distraction permits."
Here the steamer is surrounded by boatmen calling seductively in their soft rich voices "Goon-dola!
I have no head for business," she added, apologetically; "I'm not sure that any of us have except Allis. We just seem to drift, drift, drift." Crane stated the facts very plausibly, very seductively, to John Porter. Porter almost unreasonably scented charity in Crane's proposal.

Though the boy was still out at school she lifted up her voice and cried out seductively, serenely, "Richard! Richard!" What is this thing, the soul?
She snuggled it up to her lips in rapture, then showed it to the cat, who evidently recognized it, and as it was danced seductively before her on the buffalo rug, put out her paw and with a delicate tentative gesture and intent brow was about to play with it after her fashion of toying with a mouse, when one of her claws caught in a mesh of the doll's bobinet skirt.
