His square, heavy-jawed, smooth-shaven face was lighted by hard, keen eyes, and finished by an uncompromising chin. Duke was the real head of the clan, of which there were numerous branches in the Superstition Mountains, all looking with friendliness or enmity to the Morgans of Morgan's Gap.
'I have never seen the Dollmanns; I thought they were friends of yours, I added, looking him straight in the eyes. 'I know them, but' he shrugged his shoulders 'I know everybody. 'What's wrong with them? I said, point-blank. 'Softly! Herr Carruthers. Remember, I speak out of pure friendliness to you as strangers, foreigners, and young.
As I have told you," he said, with a glistening eye, "I have been very lonely. I have never left home before, and have made no friend here as yet;" and he heaved a deep sigh. Julian felt his heart full of friendliness for the gentle boy whose total inexperience made him seem younger than he really was.
"I promise not to turn him out," Mildred Caniper said, with her humorous look, and Helen laughed back with a friendliness for which Miriam, listening in a corner, admired her secretly. "But I shall want to talk to you this evening when you are all together," Notya said.
"Wait to see whether it is a grace, little cousin," said Elizabeth, but with a kiss to the young round cheek, and a friendliness of tone that surprised all. "Messieurs," she added to the ambassadors, "you came, if I mistake not, to bring me this young demoiselle." "Who has, I hope, pleaded more effectually than I," returned Bellievre.

Nevertheless, she conveyed an exact impression of her weeks of deliberation and analysis.
The man jumped out of the buggy, lifted her to the ground, and both hurried toward him, smiling like old friends eager to be recognized. The woman extended her hand. "Dan!" she coaxed. He drew away toward the barn, his tail wagging sheepishly, mollified by their friendliness, wishing he could extend to them the welcome of the hill but afraid of them and of what they represented.
M. de Ronquerolles would very likely have bidden him compromise the Duchess by responding to her show of friendliness by passionate demonstrations; but as it was, Armand de Montriveau came away from the ball, loathing human nature, and even then scarcely ready to believe in such complete depravity.
He was gracious, sweet, kindly comradely, all friendliness and severe, and stern, and harsh, if he were crossed too grievously. It is hard to express what I mean.
