If I heard someone say I did as much as any three of these mollycoddles up here I'd just simper in silence and look down. Only I wish I'd known it was a fashionable winter sport. I'd of been more carefree. "Then come the best of our winter sports wood hauling through the drifts over a rocky road down the mountains. My lands, but it was jolly!
"Ah, my dear sir!" he said, stalking toward Verty, and grimacing, at the same time, at Redbud, "are you there, and with the fairest of her hem!" And Mr. Jinks stopped, nearly caught in the meshes of his gallantry. "Yes, this is me, and I've been talking with Redbud," said Verty; "is that Miss Sallianna?" The lady had recovered her simper; and now flirted her fan as gracefully as ever.
Nine-tenths of the actors have faces as fixed as the masks of the Greek chorus: they have the hero-mask with the protruding chin, the villain-frown, the comedian-grin, the fixed innocent-girl simper. These formulas have their place in the broad effects of Crowd Pictures and in comedies. Then there are sudden abandonments of the mask.
You shall track him all through like a school-boy's theme, one piece from one author and this from another, and join all in this general, that they are none of his own. You shall observe his mouth not made for that tone, nor his face for that simper; and it is his luck that his finest things most misbecome him.
He took the name of Callandar from an uncle or something. Anyway it isn't his own." Esther hulled a particularly fine berry and carefully putting the hull in the pan, threw the berry away.

"They are flowers he brings every morning for me," Roxy spoke up, coming forward with a pretty simper. "For you?" exclaimed Vesta. "You are not receiving the attentions of white men, Roxy?" "He offered, himself, to get flowers for me, so I might give you as pretty ones as Virgie, missy. I let him bring them. He's a poor, kind man."
Soon the whole table talked merrily, and two people alone were aware that breaches yawned under the unanimity. Archness was not in Alice's nature, and still less was coquetry. When Lewis after lunch begged to be allowed to show her his dwelling she did not blush and simper, she showed no pretty reluctance, no graceful displeasure.
The little simper with which the girl spoke, the coquettish looks askance at the Perpetual Curate, who stood grave and unmoved at a distance, the movement of unconscious self-deception and girlish vanity which for a moment distracted Rosa, had a great effect upon the spectators.
The disorder is catching; and do what you will you cannot resist the general infection. You struggle against it; you make spasmodic efforts to be lively; but none of your sallies or your good stories do more than raise a simper or a forced laugh: intellect and feeling are alike asphyxiated.
Having got up a sort of drunken simper, Sponge opened the drawing-room door, expecting to find smiling ladies in a blaze of light. All, however, was darkness, save the expiring embers in the grate. The tick, tick, tick, ticking of the clocks sounded wonderfully clear. 'Gone to bed! exclaimed Sponge. 'WHO-HOOP! shrieked Jack, at the top of his voice. 'What's smatter, gentlemen?
