But even the basest of the yokels and groundlings could not make merry over the cozening of so noble a gentleman!

Then he would have fled from the danger of her presence, but the eyes grew long and cozening, like a gypsy's, and held him.

Within one moment they would be round and artless like a child's, and long and cozening like a gypsy's.

As I grow to know him better, however, I find he is not cozening the public so much as imposing on himself.
