"That's all you know about it, young lady," she said, archly; "for I stepped in there yesterday and asked him about it, to make sure, and he told me it was delivered over the very Saturday afternoon before. So, Leandy, oblige me for once, and put it on the dear girl's finger before us all; you needn't be bashful with us, I'm sure, either of you." "What is all this?" asked Mrs. Collum.
"Happily that is not within the limits of probability," I answered, beginning to be a little amused. "But why?" "Lightning often strikes where it is least expected," she replied archly. "Listen. If a young woman were unlucky enough to lose her heart to you, she might do everything but tell you, and you would never know it. I scarcely believe you would know it if she did tell you."
"Can the misconduct of Cecil cast in the eyes of the just and good one shadow on the fair fame of his sister? No, my dear sir; it is you who have looked somewhat unkindly and unjustly on the world, as when you mingle again with your friends, in company with your children, you will not fail, with your usual candour, to acknowledge.

He muttered over some short speech about regret for having been so long detained elsewhere, when he knew he should have the pleasure of seeing Madame Cheron here; and she, receiving the apology with the air of a pettish girl, addressed herself entirely to Cavigni, who looked archly at Montoni, as if he would have said, 'I will not triumph over you too much; I will have the goodness to bear my honours meekly; but look sharp, Signor, or I shall certainly run away with your prize.
"Manilla, you you're a peach!" he cried. She chuckled. "Did you hear about that dance next Saturday night after the picture show?" she asked archly. "No. Is there one?" with new interest in life. "Yes," she replied, her lashes drooping demurely; "they say the music is going to be swell." "If I come in will you will we go, Manilla?" he asked eagerly. They would.

As she galloped off, she looked back for an instant to say archly, "Spring is very beautiful; but I like autumn better, and November is my favorite month, for Thanksgiving Day comes then.
"Surely, you know it is too late for them to refuse now; arn't we as good as married didn't we pass the Hand Promise isn't our troth plighted?" "I know that, but suppose they should still refuse, then what's to be done? what are you and I to do?" "I must lave that to you, Art," she replied archly.
You did not know," she added archly, "that one reason I came to Boston was to look at rents. Bert wants us to come here and keep house for him, Aunt Susan and me."
