"Dinner, sir?" he inquired in a dullish voice, and with his head set engagingly to one side, while his sharp eyes surveyed Barnabas from boots to waistcoat, from waistcoat to neckcloth, and stayed there while he drew out his own shirt-frill with caressing fingers, and coughed disapprobation into his napkin. "Did you say dinner, sir?" he inquired again. "Thank you, no," answered Barnabas.
Hanway-Harley would have Storri to the library in engagingly familiar fashion. Senator Hanway went always to his study after dinner, to receive visitors through that veranda door, and prune and train the vine of his Presidential hopes with confabs and new plans, into which he and those visitors who were folk of power in their home States unreservedly plunged. Mr.
Warble smiled engagingly. "I do want to be thinner," she conciliated, "how can I?" And, somehow, that started them all off. They restlessly gave advice, recommended certain exercises, uncertain drugs and most unattractive diets.
He had traced the design himself, from a Christmas card, and it had originally consisted of a ring and small Cupids, alternating with hearts. He liked it very much. The Cupids were engagingly fat.

But don't come unless you are ready to pay the price!" warned the officer. He was bareheaded and his dark-brown curly hair crisped round his forehead engagingly.

"I say, he's gone!" reiterated the man at the window. Still no reply was forthcoming, and, seating himself near the stove, Fraser spread his hands before him in the shape of a book, and began whimsically, in a dry monotone, as if reading to himself: "At which startling news, Mr. Emerson, with his customary vivacity, smiled engagingly, and answered back: "'Why do you reckon he has departed, Mr.

Small wonder, for Warble was so peachy and creamy, so sweet and delectable that she was a far more appetizing sight than most viands are. She smiled again engagingly this time, too. Thus in the Painted Vale of Huneker, Vamp and Victim beguiled the hours.
The miniature kitchen immediately adjoined this dining nook, so that these two rooms were in effect one. When the two young Americans first went there together, a very comely girl sat cutting colored papers into fantastic shapes with the apparent intention of having more floral decorations. For huge artificial bouquets decked the boards. The place was freshly painted and engagingly clean.
Apparently he had not heard what the officer said. At least he gave no answer. With a grin the purser opened another attack. "Don't blame you a bit, Mr. Elliot. She's the prettiest colleen that ever sailed from Dublin Bay." The young man brought his eyes home. They answered engagingly the smile of the purser. "Who is she?"
