Now Gabriel was not so stupid as his brothers believed, and, as he said over to himself the verse he had read that morning in the barn, and looked at Topaz, so winsomely shining after his bath, he began to see how unwise it would be to tell every one he met that he was searching for Topaz's owner.
Bob Allen was not accustomed to the oversight of employees least of all to an employee who was very satisfying to look at, who was winsomely young, whose mere presence distracted his thoughts from that rigorous concentration upon the logical principles of the law....

'Yes; I suppose it is right. Shallowness has this advantage, that you can't be drowned there. 'But I think I'll have you as you are; yes, I will! she said winsomely.
John having of late years begun to take himself seriously as a collector of lithographs. One-third of the room was divided from the rest by an arched and fretted screen of red lacquer, and within this open cage stood Mrs. John, surveying winsomely the expanse of little tables, little chairs, big chairs, huge chairs, sofas, rugs, flower-vases, and knick-knacks.
'Nurse will give it to you, said Winifred. 'You'll be all right, Joyce, he said, smiling to the child and pushing the blonde hair off her brow. She smiled back winsomely into his face.

The doctor came a fat country practitioner, pleasant and kind.
She thanked him winsomely, and then, simply as before, accepted his help. Again Marcian held her an instant, her slim, light body trembling when he set her down, as if from a burden which strained his utmost force. She stepped forward to gaze at the fall. He, with an exclamation of alarm, caught her hand and held it. 'You are too rash, he said in a thick voice.
If there were weak lines about the mouth, the curling beard covered them. The king looked straight on, unmoved by the kneeling thousands, but as he came abreast of the balcony, chance made him look upward. Perhaps the sight of the beautiful Greek caused Xerxes to smile winsomely. The smile of a god can intoxicate.
Mosely would have forgiven her even more warmly, because it was a woman taken in actual adultery who was forgiven, while Charity had tactlessly fought the charge and demanded vindication instead of winsomely appealing for pity. By a roundabout road of self-surrender she had come to the same destination that she might have reached by the straight path of self-indulgence.
Where shall we go to-day?" laughed Margaret, and Lady Elspeth could hardly take her eyes off her, so winsomely, so radiantly happy was she. "We old folks will stay at home and talk to Mrs. Carré," said Lady Elspeth. "You young ones can go off and do what you like." "Oh no, you don't," said Graeme. "You didn't come here to loaf in a verandah.
"Of course," Miss Euston continued, "that is all I know; but I think I am justified in thinking that the two things the shipment of gold here and the attack have some connection.
