I tell you, Mrs. Pett, I have heard stories from friends of mine in the English Secret Service which would amaze you. Perfectly straight men in private life, but absolutely unscrupulous when at work. They stick at nothing nothing. If I were you, I should suspect every one, especially every stranger." He smiled engagingly.
Then he grinned, stood back and, cocking his head to one side in a most examining and yet approving manner, ran his hand through his hair and beard and added, "A snake can't be too vital, you know, for this paper. We have to draw 'em strong, plenty of vitality, plenty of go." He grinned most engagingly. I could not help laughing, of course. The impertinent air!
Those who were concerned in the matter were so engagingly impressed with the incomparable literary merit displayed in the production that they counselled a great number of copies being made ready in order, as they said, that this person should not lose by there being any delay when once the accomplishment became the one topic of conversation in tea-houses and yamens.
He always was as dry as dust, even when he was alive, but he was a great man. But the famous Englishman, Sir Thomas More, wrote more engagingly; and does he not tell us, in his "Utopia," that any nation's holding unused a piece of ground needed for the nourishment of other people is a just cause of war? Such doctrines should be most comforting to us Americans.
Moreover, he was often out of the city over Sunday on his business trips and did not have to go to church. It was impossible that Milly, dressed very becomingly in her new gray suit, should escape notice after the first Sunday. Her lovely bronze hair escaped from her round hat engagingly.

"Right you are," said the other soberly. "I'll be on hand, Simmy, if I'm needed. Tell Anne, will you? I'll stick it out for a few days if it will help her." "There is a lot of good in you, George," said Simmy, engagingly. "I don't mind telling you that Lutie says the same thing about you. She has said to me more than once that—"
The robin was evidently in a fascinating, bold mood. He hopped closer and closer and looked at Ben Weatherstaff more and more engagingly. He flew on to the nearest currant bush and tilted his head and sang a little song right at him. "Tha' thinks tha'll get over me by doin' that," said Ben, wrinkling his face up in such a way that Mary felt sure he was trying not to look pleased.
Blake, who by now had come to realize that his friend's affairs were not mended by his interruptions, moodily shrugged his shoulders, scowling. "Come, sir," said Colonel Luttrell, engagingly, "answer the question." "Aye," roared Albemarle; "let your invention have free rein." Again poor Richard sought refuge in the truth.
In a flash he fell from a creature engagingly masculine to the use-worn daily sharer of her monotonous existence. 'Have you heard about Arthur Twemlow coming over? she demanded, half vindictively, as he was preparing to blow out the last candle on the piano. He stopped. 'Who's Arthur Twemlow? 'Mr. Twemlow's son, of course, she said. 'From America. 'Oh! Him! Coming over, did you say?
While I pondered, one hand on the counter, the still smiling barmaid opened conversation brightly: 'Er you the genelmun what's orduder bawth? she asked engagingly. I began to feel that there must be some kind of a special London joke about this formula. Perhaps it is a phrase in the current comic opera, I thought. A pity that ignorance should prevent my capping it!
