I had to run to do it, but I prayed that no one was looking. We reached the gate house together. "Telegram?" said I. He dismounted and gave it to me like a lamb. It was addressed to Maulfry Tower, Winningly Bluff, and it read: Missed train arrive 7.10 Tagel. "No answer," said I. Then I remembered the cheering children, and gave him a shilling. He thanked me shyly and sped away to the lodge gates.
And he related the story of Roomdroom for the edification of the King and the exaltation of barbercraft, delivering himself neatly and winningly and pointedly, so that the story should apply, which was its merit and its origin.
Yet he does it so winningly that's the word, I think that any jury would acquit him. And his slang uh!" He shrugged his shoulders. "Fierce, ain't it?" said Tommy smilingly. "But can he really read these books?" Whimple reiterated. "You should hear him and see him tackling the dictionary when he's stuck. Besides I'm telling you everything mind in confidence 'Chuck' Epstein reads with him."
For answer he produced the effect of a laugh by widening and lifting one side of his mouth, leaving the other, meantime, rigid. "Don' lemme int'rup' the conv'sation with yer lady-friend," he said winningly. "What they call 'talkin' High Arts, wasn't it? I'd like to hear some."
The widow was winningly attentive, with a tendency to be confidential, to everybody. The Italian could not disabuse himself of the notion that he was expected to be light and cheerful, and when the pupil of the Conservatory sang, he abandoned himself to his error, and clapped and cried bravo with unseemly vivacity.
Edward seated himself on a low cricket at the foot of the lounge, and, looking up in George's face, said most winningly, "Please go on, Mr. Ware." Then he turned one full, sweet look of greeting and welcome upon Annie, who beamed back upon him with such a diffused smile as only the rarest faces have. Annie's smile was one of her greatest charms.
But, another difficulty presented itself; my loose frock was so voluminous that I doubted whether any spinal curvature would be perceptible. "Good evening, ladies," exclaimed I, at last, advancing winningly; "a delightful air from the sea, ladies." Hysterics and hartshorn! who would have thought it? The young lady screamed, and the old one came near fainting.
Algeciras had other claims which it urged day after day more winningly upon us as the last place where we should feel the charm of Spain unbroken in the tradition which reaches from modern fact far back into antique fable.
A raw cow's tail lay on the floor, and by its side two pieces of black velvet my black velvet rudely hacked into the semblance of masks. 'And what is this shame, Namgay Doola? said I. He grinned more winningly than ever. 'There is no shame, said he. 'I did but cut off the tail of that man's cow. He betrayed me. I was minded to shoot him, Sahib. But not to death. Indeed not to death.
You shall not compromise yourself, going from the house of an Austrian woman and worse!" She was too winningly imperious to fail. I delayed, and together we looked out on the rosy sky. "Come down," she said at last, "and on an arbor-moss the sun shall drowse you, the flower-scents be your opiates, the birds your lullaby, and I your guard."
