"I'm to enjoy myself to-day, it seems. You didn't prepare me for this treat, James Patten!" Uncle James simpered, as though taking to himself the credit of the whole entertainment. "So you hate Ireland?" said Lady Benyon. "No, I love it," said Beth. "It's me native country; and they don't give you little bits of cake there the size of sixpence. What they have you're welcome to. Long live Ireland!"
Before the next door a fatuously smiling pink-and-white bust simpered out of the Beauty Parlor's display-case, a bust elaborately coiffured with pounds of yellow hair in which glittered rhinestone buckles. Hair of every sort and shade and length was clustered about her, as if she were the presiding genius of some barbarian scalping-cult.
Happening to catch her eye he looked rather guilty, then, cocking his head to one side, simpered languishingly, "What shall I say to thee, heart of my heart?" Nora's tip-tilted little nose was promptly elevated still higher, and she walked away without observing the triumphant gleam in Hippy's blue eyes. At one o'clock the Eight Originals halted for luncheon, which proved to be a merry meal.
She had often, in the long ago, seen her mother signing thus to an imaginary face at the window the face of the man who never came. Tommy went into the house, and she was so pleased to see him that she quite simpered. He put his arms round her, and she lay there with a little giggle of contentment. She was in a plot of heat. "Grizel! Oh, my God!" he said, "why do you look at me in that way?"
"It is almost as happy as our little suppers in Warwick Street," whispered their noble driver to his companion. "Oh! much more than anything you can find there," simpered Mrs. Rodney. "I declare to you, some of the happiest hours of my life have been passed in Warwick Street," gravely murmured her friend. "I wish I could believe that," said Mrs. Rodney.
They had smiled and simpered at him and were so nice and had promised him such a paradise. And now, here he was helpless, left all alone to himself, a lost man. With a furious curse, he tore off his hat and threw it on the seat. Was that the face of a human being? Was it permitted to do such a thing to a man? His nose looked like a patchwork of small dice of different colors.
But Michel had insisted on bringing the old lady round to the seat that Marie had intended for herself, and so had disarranged all her plans. The old lady had simpered and smiled and made a little speech to M. Urmand, which everybody had heard. Marie, too, had heard it all. But the thing had to be done, and she plucked up her courage and did it.
The only place for Kedzie to sit was next to a couple of negroes, the man in Ethiopian foppery grinning up into the face of a woman who held his hat and cane, and simpered in ebony. Kedzie whispered to Gilfoyle her displeased surprise: "Why, they act just like we do." Kedzie liked to use like like that.
Roscoe! come here and let me introduce you to the Miss Brownings, the friends we are staying with. We think very highly of our young doctor, I can assure you, Miss Browning. Mr. Roscoe bowed, and simpered at hearing his own praises. But Miss Browning had no notion of having any doctor praised, who had come to settle even on the very verge of Mr. Gibson's practice, so she said to Miss Hornblower,
It was a large room, with heavy wainscoting, above which simpered or frowned a long row of her ancestors. She stepped before the one nearest her and looked at it long and earnestly. The face carried no memory with it, though it was her father. It was the portrait of a handsome man in uniform, in the full bloom of a dissipated youth.
