From the bottom of the stairs he had his vivaciously agreeable smile ready for them, and by the time he entered the room his cheeks were painfully stiff, and his eyes had strained beyond their exact meaning.

He couldn't find out until he reached home, and you would never have seen him again; and if you had, and he had taunted you, you could have laughed vivaciously and said you were chaffing. That is my method, and it is the only way to preserve life in a foreign country. "That would never have satisfied my neighbour," said Francesca.
I think he had his fill to-night and more; for that was the subject chosen by my dashing companion, and vivaciously exploited until our awaited hour was at hand.

Also it was not exactly Mrs. Brent's place to kindly encourage me with the information that I do not seem to belong to my own country."
"That's old Farmer Jenkins," said Lucy vivaciously; "he owns three or four acres near the public-house and will not allow them to be built over, although he has been offered a lot of money.
