As I liked Merceret, I felt no disinclination to accompany her; besides I met there with some young people whose company pleased me. For Mademoiselle Giraud, who offered every kind of enticement, nothing could increase the aversion I had for her.
To secure such treatment was seen to be almost impossible unless the subject of intemperance could be removed from old associations and influences, and placed under new conditions, in which there would be no enticement to drink, and where the means of moral and physical recovery could be judiciously applied.
To those who have the special knowledge that is requisite, the caverns of the Causses de Sauveterre and Méjan offer great enticement, for only a few of their secrets, covered by the darkness of incalculable ages, have yet been brought to light.
By twelve o'clock, most of the ladies had withdrawn from the supper-room; but the enticement of wine held too many of the men there young and old. Bursts of coarse laughter, loud exclamations, and snatches of song rang out from the company in strange confusion.
Still the old woman hesitated, and still she muttered to herself; but after some further prelude, and some further enticement from the curate, the which we spare our reader, she came at length to the following narration: "It was on the 7th of February, in the year '44, yes, '44, about six o'clock in the evening, for I was a-washing in the kitchen, when Mr.
There is small credit or virtue to the soul when, in a state of high grace or nearness, she burns with love for her God: for she is under the spell of the enticement of His Presence how can she help but burn!
