It was bad enough to come sneaking into her house as his father's agent and spy, and be doing his business all the while that this adorably innocent lady believed him to be exclusively engaged on hers. But that she should work with him, toiling at a catalogue which would eventually be Rickman's catalogue, there was something in the notion extremely repulsive to his sense of honour.
I'm afr-raid I am not pr-rovident." She returned his smile adorably. "That I must teach you," she said, and Sydney and John turned away. Sydney walked to the mantel-shelf, which was so high that it was on a level with her eyes. There was an array of pipes and a tin box of tobacco; a volume of Schiller, with some matches lying loose upon it; and, flat on the board, a photograph.
How I envy you at times! and how happy you are to be a man, naughty libertine that you are! Is not my Fleur-de-Lys adorably beautiful, and are you not desperately in love with her?" "Of course," he replied, still thinking of something else. "But do say something," said Madame Aloise, suddenly giving his shoulder a push; "you have grown very timid."
Kate had no objection to make, and she returned to the sitting-room sooner than they expected her. 'A quick-change artist, Dick said. She wore a brown costume, trimmed with feathers to match; a small bonnet crowned the top of her head, and her face looked adorably coquettish amid the big bows into which she had tied the strings.
Casaubon which he had dismissed when he first saw her by saying that she must be disagreeable in spite of appearances was not now to be answered on any such short and easy method.

Rupert looked down at the hand. It was so fair and soft and full of the expression of sympathy such an adorably womanly little hand, that one's first impulse was to lay one's own upon it. He made a movement and then remembered, and looked up, and their eyes met and rested on each other gently. When the subject of the claim was broached, Sheba thought it like a fairy tale.
She was that, and most adorably, her bright hair soft about lax brows, her full lips parted, her strong white hands lying in his like brooding birds. He talked on, and she played content for a while; but a moment came when with a sudden maternal gesture she drew his dark, willing head to her shoulder. "Let's forget South America for to-night," she said. He would not, could not, drop the subject.
He had never seen it with his eyes, but if he had seen it he would have realized how like herself it was adorably fresh, happily coloured, sumptuous and fine. It had simple curtains, white sheets, and a warm carpet on the floor; and yet with something, too, that struck the note of a life outside.
"It would not be a bad dream for you," laughed de Marsay. "The charming young lady is thirty years old, it is true, but she has an income of eighty thousand livres. She is adorably capricious, and her style of beauty wears well.
But the stranger did not seem to have heard her. "I must be going," she said absently. "You are an adorably pretty child. It's been a pleasure to see you. I only wandered in here because I was unhappy and wanted to be alone, but you have cheered me up. Run along, now, and don't walk in Japanese gardens at dusk unattended too often." Her glance fell on the tea rose.
