"But, dearest of all women," I cried, "what in the world have you to be ashamed of?" She paused, moistened her lips with her tongue, and then broke out: "I'll tell you. A decent lady like your Eleanor Faversham wouldn't tell. But I can't keep these things in. Didn't you begin by saying I was a seductress? No, no, let me talk. Didn't you say I could make a man do what I wanted?
I leaned my head to hers so that my lips nearly touched her ear. My voice shook. "You're a seductress and a witch and a sorcerer and an enchantress." The blood rose to her dark face. She half closed her eyes. "What else am I?" she murmured. But, alas! I had not time to answer, for the brougham stopped at the gates of the Zoological Gardens. We both awakened from our foolishness.
If the stories Virginia had heard of her were to be trusted, she had come out of poverty not by the easy steps of managers' favours, but by hard work, self-denial, and discipline. Though Virginia had never seen her, she felt instinctively that she was an "honest woman." And yet why did this face, which had in it none of the charms of the seductress, disturb her so profoundly?
Those to whom such a dilution is necessary will perhaps be contented with the skim-milk as they cannot get the cream. TRANS. Thy beauty, seductress, leads mortals astray, Over hearts, Lise, how vast and resistless thy sway. Cease, duchess, to blush! cease, princess, to rave Venus sprang from the foam of the ocean wave.
Arms, emblems, colours, liveries, portraits of princes and princesses of the House, of this the warrior, that the seductress, burst into sudden light. What had I to do among them? The presence of the living members of the Family was an extreme physical relief. For the moment, beholding Ottilia, I counted her but as one of them. She welcomed me without restraint.
Thy beauty, seductress, leads mortals astray, Over hearts, Lise, how vast and resistless thy sway. Cease, duchess, to blush! cease, princess, to rave Venus sprang from the foam of the ocean wave. All the gods pay their homage at her beauteous shrine, And adore her as potent, resistless, divine! To her Paris, the shepherd, awarded the prize, Sought by Juno the regal, and Pallas the wise.
My infamous seductress stood as calmly as Innocence itself; and when I was so choked with sobs that I could not utter a word, she said she had only been cruel because her mother had made her swear an oath never to give herself to anyone in her own house, and that she had only come now to convince me of her love, to give herself to me without reserve, and never to leave me any more if I wished it.

Who could perfect this work if we were not here? Who would dare to undertake the difficult task if we should fail? Who would carry on a secret and continued warfare with this artful and powerful seductress if we were conquered?" "No one would do it," sighed Woellner, "no one would sacrifice themselves like Samson for this Delilah."
They whimpered, they implored, sinking upon their knees, beating their clinched hands, and weeping: "Turn, beloved elect! Renounce Wilhelmine Enke; renounce vice! Repulse the seductress, and turn your countenance to Virtue which you have seen in all her beauty!" "I will perform that which you demand," wept the prince, as the deathly terror and nervous excitement made him yielding.
