From the very first there had been an exasperating fascination in the tricksiness with which she had not met his advances, but wheeled away from them. She had been brought to accept him in spite of everything brought to kneel down like a horse under training for the arena, though she might have an objection to it all the while.
In fact, they have no other which does not come under the definite title of pride; pride in their physical prowess, their dexterity, ingenuity, and tricksiness, and their purity of blood.
Elfishness, tricksiness, freakishness, were antipathetic to his nature; and he argued that it was impossible he should have chosen for his complement a person deserving the title. It would not have been sanctioned by his guardian genius.
I can comprehend the delicacy and tricksiness of his mood when he is evolving a work of art. He waits upon the light in such a purely simple way that I do not wonder at the perfection of each of his stories. Of several sketches, first one and then another come up to be clothed upon with language, after their own will and pleasure.

Miss Gwendolen, simple as she stood there, in her black silk, cut square about the round white pillar of her throat, a black band fastening her hair which streamed backward in smooth silky abundance, seemed more queenly than usual. Perhaps it was that there was none of the latent fun and tricksiness which had always pierced in her greeting of Rex.
Once she'd got away with him, and had had any kind of hole-in-the-corner wedding, Honoré was of opinion that even the most abandoned Dragon would be thankful to sanction a marriage according to French law; so it could all be done over again properly in France. I suppose this appealed immensely to Ellaline's love of intrigue and kittenish tricksiness generally.
