How affably he took off his white hat as he came in; the children staring up at him! He asked Mrs. Bolton if she had slept well, after the fatigues of the night, and hoped she had no headache; and he said that as he was going that way, he could not pass the door without asking news of his little partner. Mrs. Bolton was perhaps rather shy and suspicious about these advances; but Mr.
The waterfall having been duly admired, we retraced our steps to the shore. The gig carried a small mast and lugsail, and, the faint wind blowing fair down the creek, the Captain suggested our hoisting them. I think it annoyed him to find himself appealing to Dr. Beauregard. "By all means," said the Doctor, affably. "It will save labour till we reach open water, when I will ask you to lower them.
Hardt introduced her to the holy man, saying: "This is Mademoiselle Vera Baltz, of Stavropol, a friend of His Excellency Peter Stolypin." "Ah! Welcome, my dear mademoiselle," exclaimed the monk affably. "So you are a friend of His Excellency when he was Governor of Samara, I suppose?" "Yes. I have come here because I crave your assistance.
I was roused by some one coughing just behind me, and I tried to straighten my face before I turned. It was Flannigan, his double row of brass buttons gleaming in the twilight. "Excuse me, miss," he said affably, "but the boy from the hotel has left the dinner on the doorstep and run, the cowardly little divil! What'll I do with it? I went to Mrs. Wilson, but she says it's no concern of hers."
The little man turned his eyes upon them, withdrew his hands from his pockets and his pipe from his mouth, and then bowed profoundly. "If you are my nieces, then I am Uncle John," he said, affably. "Sit down, my dears, and let us get acquainted."
On his arrival in Paris, from a run to the Low Countries, a week later, Major Alan Hawke betook himself at once to No. 9 Rue Berlioz. And there Marie Victor greeted him, handing him a letter which was dated from Jitomir, Volhynia. "How is your mistress?" he affably demanded. "She is well, and will remain for several months longer in Russia!" politely answered Marie, bowing him out.
"Look here, Edith," he proposed, "how'd you like me to read aloud while you sew?" She looked up with a smile of pleased surprise. "Why, father dear, I'd love it." At once, she bent over her needle again, so that if there were any awkwardness attending this small change in their lives it did not reveal itself in her pretty countenance. "What shall we read?" she affably asked.
As we passed by the tembe of the great Sultan, the msagira, or chief counsellor, a pleasant grey-haired man, was at work making a thorn fence around a patch of young corn. He greeted the caravan with a sonorous "Yambo," and, putting himself at its head, he led the way to our camp. When introduced to me he was very cordial in his manner. He was offered a kiti-stool and began to talk very affably.
She unconsciously wished that Merwyn would come, and half-smilingly wondered whether he would brave the storm to see her. She was not kept long in suspense, for he soon appeared with a book which he wished to return, he said. "Papa is out," Marian began, affably, "and you will have to be content with seeing me. You have a morbidly acute conscience, Mr.
Ranger" into every sentence; the workingmen addressed him as "sir," and seemed to appreciate his talking as affably with them as if he were unaware of the precipice of caste which stretched from him down to them. He was in a pleasant frame of mind as he went home and bathed and dressed for dinner.
