"And the yellow paper," he began, with anxious friendliness, "and the red rag...." "The yellow paper and the red rag," said Fuego, with indescribable grandeur, "are the colours of Nicaragua." "But Nicaragua ..." began Barker, with great hesitation, "Nicaragua is no longer a...." "Nicaragua has been conquered like Athens.
The forest amazed her a little, and awed her a little, but from awe of it soon came, as they plunged along, much friendliness. She was receptive, this game woman, and knew Nature when she met her.
So the winter wore also amidst sweet speech and friendliness betwixt the two, and they lived still as dear friends, and not as lovers. Seldom they spoke of the Quest, for it seemed to them now a matter over great for speech.
As a sex you're a little under-trained in affairs. I'd take it forgive me if I seem a little urgent as a sort of proof of friendliness. I can imagine nothing more pleasant in life than to help you, because I know it would pay to help you. There's something about you, a little flavor of Will, I suppose, that makes one feel good luck about you and success...."
A moment later M. Paul entered the judge's private room, and the latter, rising from his desk, came forward with a look of genuine friendliness and concern.

"So soon?" Lars was all friendliness, and wishing me good luck now; he had not thought I should be going off at once. "It's all a chance if I see you again this time," he said.
Most of my fears have been allayed by Wingenund's attitude toward us. His freeing Jim in face of the opposition of his chiefs is a sure sign of friendliness.
