"Are you sure you've read every word on that page, Bill, every little word?" Silence again. "You know, you began this, Bill," Susan said presently, with childish sweet reproach.
"Mary, just step into the next room." "If you please, sir," said the same gentle voice, "I had sooner that the lady should stay. I have nothing against Mr. Thurnall, God knows. He has rather something against me." Another pause. Mary rose, and went up to her and took her hand. "Do tell us who you are, and if we can do anything for you." And she looked winningly up into her face.
The General smiled winningly and intently, to show her that he prized her, and would not let her escape his eulogies. 'Marked, in this way, dear madam, that you think of my daughter's future more than I. I say, more than her father himself does. I know I ought to speak more warmly, I feel warmly.

Purple ribbons were at her waist and throat. As she reached the ground Mary introduced Narcisse. She smiled winningly, and when she said, with a courtesy: "Proud to know ye, sur," Narcisse was struck with the sweetness of her tone. But she swept away with a dramatic tread. "Will you walk in?"

Suddenly she raised her gaze and looked winningly into Bill Hopkin's face. "I suppose you won't give me the money I asked you for, to aid Skinner," she said slowly. "I'll send you the check to-morrow morning," and Bill Hopkins' big shoulders disappeared through the open door.
