He was a handsome man too, with clear, bright, gray eyes, a well-defined nose, and expressive mouth of which the lips, however, were somewhat too thin. No man with thin lips ever seems to me to be genially human at all points. Such was Mr. Prendergast; and my readers will, I trust, feel for Sir Thomas, and pity him, in that he was about to place his wounds in the hands of so ruthless a surgeon.
And as he smiled genially upon the cowpuncher, Bard felt a great relief sweep over him, a mighty gladness that this was not Drew that this looselipped gabbler was not the man who had written the epitaph over the tomb of Joan Piotto. He lied about the book; he had lied about it all.
"Bertie and I have been practising leads from trick hands," observed Lady Tressilvain, removing the ice from her glass and filling it from a soda bottle which Malcourt uncorked for her. "Well, Herby," said Malcourt genially, "I suppose you and Helen play a game well worth ah watching."
Lounging against a door-jamb, quite at home, he genially puffed an unspeakable cigarette and nodded approbation of Maitland's every other word. But Hickey Hickey bristled belligerently. "Fine," he declared acidly; "fine and dandy. I take off my hat to yeh, Dan Anisty. I may be a bad actor, all right, but yeh got me beat at the post." Then turning to the policeman, "I got him right. Look here!"
He summoned up a smile and advanced. "Good evening, Miss Halley," he said, striving to speak genially for of all of his wife's friends he liked Margaret Halley the best.

He left her standing there speechless with surprise, with the box in her hand, and ran down the stairs and out into the Street. At the foot of the steps he almost collided with Dr. Ed. "Back to see Sidney?" said Dr. Ed genially. "That's fine, Joe. I'm glad you've made it up." The boy went blindly down the Street. Winter relaxed its clutch slowly that year.
He greeted me genially. "Hello, Ros!" he said. "You out here? Thought you'd be busy overhaulin' George's runnin' riggin' and makin' sure he was all ready to heave alongside the parson." "I have been," I answered. "I am on my way back there now." "All right, all right.
For the impetuous spirits will have none of this cradling. Never any swaying or aimlessly lolling for them. Never any making believe, or lying cosily, or genially supposing that one is much like another, fire warm, wine pleasant, extravagance a sin. "People are so nice, once you know them." "I couldn't think ill of her.
He was a married man himself. "My boy," he said genially, "I quite understand. But I can do you better than that. It's no use doing this sort of thing in a small way. From now on your salary is a hundred and ten. No, no, don't thank me. You're an excellent clerk, and it's a pleasure to me to reward merit when I find it. Close the door after you." And Mr.
When he took the place over at the beginning of the war, they were telling me, it was a little potty concern making toy air guns or lead soldiers or something of the sort.
