Usage examples of mayne.

Langham, the Earl of Mayne, watched his closest friend, Raphael Jourdain, Duke of Holbrook, stand at the altar with a sense of deep satisfaction.

She liked Mayne, and felt hurt that he had never bothered to see how she was doing in her first season.

And since Miss Broderie was just as beautiful, and engaged to Mayne, it was a friendship made in heaven.

If I am not mistaken, you are the only other woman whom the Earl of Mayne asked to marry.

I mean to begin as I shall go on, and therefore I shall inform Mayne that we shall never breakfast together.

What Mayne wanted was to sleep in the same room with Sylvie, not eat there.

The thought made her feel a little queer in the stomach, so she allowed Mayne to tuck her hand under his arm and concentrated on making her smile as rigid as her back.

After that Josie noticed the way women kept turning to look at Mayne, their eyes dancing over him in a manner that made her acutely aware of how prized he was.

Felicia had never quite recovered from a bout of lovesickness she suffered over Mayne, and Griselda tried to avoid her as much as possible.

But Mayne was smooth, smooth except for the muscles standing out under his skin.

The sleek, exquisitely groomed Mayne, in the moonlight filtering through those small overhead windows, looked wild, like Bacchus, the god of wine.

Josie filed it away in her mind as yet another substantial reason why the Earl of Mayne had remained unmarried until the ancient age of thirty-five.

Rather than walking the way she normally did, by putting one leg briskly in front of the other, Mayne was swaying forward.

This was just what Annabel, and Griselda, and finally, Mayne, had told her.

So Mayne took himself off, and Sylvie plumped down next to Lady Feddrington.
