While the burgomaster and Jaqueline were looking out from the summit of Hengist's tower, two gentlemen approached it from opposite directions; the one was of good figure, handsomely dressed in silken doublet and cloak, with a feather in his cap, and a rapier, apparently more for ornament than use, by his side. He walked with no laggard step, looking up ever and anon towards the top of the tower.
Handsomely, gallantly just now, moreover, he didn't so much as let it occur to him that the social experience would perhaps on some future occasion richly profit further scenic efforts; he only lost himself in the consciousness of all she invited him to believe.
When he does, he shall find Señor Trail and myself busily at work there outside, and we will say that you left us, and went down the inlet a long time before. But now we want to talk to you." "Be quick then," growled the other, "I've no mind to swing for this job." Luiz Sebastian brought his handsomely malevolent face close to the other's hideous countenance.
Shaw, you mustn't be settin' up for a young dandy. I've had a good deal more sea service than you. I believe you never went out on a long voyage round the Cape or the like o' that; those long voyages count a man two years to one, if they're hard passages." "No; I only made some few trips; the rest you might call coastin'," said Captain Shaw handsomely.
Cocoanut-raising is a very profitable industry all along the Pasig River in Manila you can see the native boats high-packed with the green, unhusked product, and two towns in Batanzas shipped 1500 carloads last year.

It was as if his son-in-law's presence, even from before his becoming his son-in-law, had somehow filled the scene and blocked the future very richly and handsomely, when all was said, not at all inconveniently or in ways not to have been desired: inasmuch as though the Prince, his measure now practically taken, was still pretty much the same "big fact," the sky had lifted, the horizon receded, the very foreground itself expanded, quite to match him, quite to keep everything in comfortable scale.
However, I will go and look for them myself. Tell me the nearest way to their rooms. Do you like being here?" "Yes, I thank you, Antonida Vassilievna." "And you, Potapitch, you go and tell that fool of a landlord to reserve me a suitable suite of rooms. They must be handsomely decorated, and not too high up. Have my luggage taken up to them. But what are you tumbling over yourselves for?
Louis of Wittelsbach, who contested the imperial throne with Frederick the Fair of Austria, and had beaten the latter handsomely at Muehldorf, was nevertheless none too safely seated, and became involved in the unending squabbles with the Papacy, aggravated in his case by the removal of the Pope to Avignon.
"Apply that rule then to the information you speak of." "Well, since you press me, I know more," Gabriel said. "Miriam knows you're engaged to a wonderful, rich lady; she told me as much, told me she had seen her here. That was enough to set her off she likes forbidden fruit." "I'm not engaged to any lady whatever. I was," Nick handsomely conceded, "but we've altered our minds."
But I assured him, that though I thought it very fit such as he should be governed, yet I should not like the employment by no means.
