To-morrow, in a few hours, his first thought, his only thought would be to find that woman again, to experience that voluptuous impression, that dream that had penetrated his heart. A danger, Lissac had said. The feline eyes of Marianne had a dangerous ardor; but it was their charm, their strength and their adorable seductiveness, that filtered like a flame through her long, fair lashes.
But what a charm in those irregular features! What a seductiveness in the ensemble of that not too-well- proportioned figure! What an indescribable radiance seemed to emanate from the entire personality of this most captivating of women!
She recalled the victorious seductiveness of genius, of egotism, the lure of a world in which a myriad women had seemed to be dancing away from her toward happiness; and then, her moment of complex treason at the horse show.
And Magda, inheriting the underlying ardour of her father's temperament and the gutter-child's sharp sense of values which was her mother's Latin Quarter garnering, at the age of eight danced, with all the beguilement and seductiveness of a trained and experienced dancer.

Her mother assented; she assented. I took them at their word. That you was really opposed to the marriage was not known to me till afterwards.
