Something like a simpering blush crept over his face as he fumbled in his pocket. At last, drawing forth a twenty-dollar piece, he bashfully offered it to M'liss. In a twinkling the extended arm was stricken up, and the bright coin flew high in the air, and disappeared in the darkness. "Keep your money! I don't want it. Don't do that again!" said M'liss, highly excited, "or I'll I'll bite you!"
"Very few; and I would not escort any of those simpering little damsels usually seen at assemblies." "What description of damsel do you prefer?" asked Lucy, smiling. "A fine, spirited, amusing young lady like yourself," said Hoffland; "the merrier and more ridiculous the better." "Ridiculous, indeed! Well, sir," said Lucy mischievously, "I think I have found the very one to suit you."
At the station there was a pestering drunk with his 'how-come' stuff and two simpering women with their 'ain't-he-cute' rot. I was tired. I'd had a tough season. That summer, there was a big crop of gawks and I had encountered all of 'em. I wanted to quit the game wanted to hide out. On the sleeper, I dreamed of this place. I was on a horse a big, fat ring-horse, with a pad.
But pleasures, like gales of soft wind, move simpering, one towards one extreme of the body and another towards another, and then go off in a vapor. Nor are they of any long durance, but, as so many glancing meteors, they are no sooner kindled in the body than they are quenched by it.

I was told to seek Mademoiselle St. Clair in a fat, ugly, simpering woman, and I find her in in you. How can I be certain that you are Mademoiselle St. Clair?" "I see your difficulty. Your doubt does not anger me. Let me think.
She may be perfectly proper she MAY be but she is not the style we are accustomed to in London." "I should rather think not!" interrupted Lord Fulkeward, hastily. "By Jove! She wouldn't have a hair left on her head in London, don'cher know!" "What do you mean?" inquired Muriel Chetwynd Lyle, simpering. "You really do say such funny things, Lord Fulkeward!"

Was it possible that her blue eyes, childlike in their candor, her simpering smile, and affected manner were masks assumed to cover her machinations? She a Union spy? It seemed incredible.
The occasion was great, and it might also be terrible. "Ask them to come up," she said calmly. But Amy had the best of that encounter. "I have done," she replied, and instantly produced them out of the darkness of the corridor. It was providential: the sisters had made no remark that the Critchlows might not hear. Then Maria Critchlow, simpering, had to greet Sophia. Mrs.
I know that by custom and law she is the slave of man, who holds her person, children, and property in his custody. I know that men think they must be silly and simpering in woman's presence, because they suppose she can appreciate and enjoy nothing higher.
