Jeff sized him up as a resolute, clean-cut fellow, happily endowed with many gifts of fortune to make him the likable chap he was. Beauchamp threw out some clothes from a steamer trunk and left the rescued man alone to dress. Ten minutes later he returned. "Expect you'd like an interview with the barber. I'll take you round. By the way, you'll let me be your banker till you reach Verden?"
"Oh, nothing much, but I sort of grew up with the idea of Duty something you had to do because there was nobody else to do it. You had not only to do it but you had to like it, not because it was likable, but because it was your duty. It was always right in front of me: I couldn't see over or around it; I just had to do it." "Well, you did it," Lessing corroborated.
His new guardian did not speak until they reached the door of the apartment house, then he turned and looked the boy in the eye. "I'm obstinate, Enoch, and quick tempered. No one but Mrs. Seaton thinks of me as a particularly likable chap. You can do as you please about liking me, but I want you to like my wife.
I'll just limber up, and give my arm a good rub." It struck Wayne before they had walked far that Huling was an amiable and likable chap. As the captain of the Salisbury nine, he certainly had no reason to be agreeable to the Morristown "ringer," even though Wayne did happen to be a famous Yale pitcher.
Those who knew him best must have found in him very likable qualities, and acknowledged the generosities of his nature, while they were amused at his humorous spleen and his serious contemplation of his own greatness.
And always in some dripping dawn I have turned with abhorrence from myself and from the sated folly that had hankered for such prizes, which, when possessed, showed as not wonderful in anything, and which possession left likable enough, but stripped of dear bewitchments.
"Nor I; and Fritz is a likable fellow." "He sure is." The boys had spent two days in the Schmidt home when this conversation took place. In Frau Schmidt they had found a lovable and motherly woman, well along in years. She had made them welcome from the first, and had set before them the best she had. Their room was next to that of her son, Fritz, a young man probably six years older than Hal.
All Westerners are likable, with the possible exception of Greasy Pete. I rather looked forward to my visit. But my guide had failed to mention the buttes; so, although I jogged as west as I knew how, I found I had to wind around a butte about ever so often. I crossed a ravine with equal frequency, and all looked alike. It is not surprising that soon I could not guess where I was.
"He's very likable. I never knew a man who has had so many experiences. There's something right boyish about him." "Even if he could give me about a dozen years." "Years don't count with his kind. He's so full of life, so fresh and yet so wise." "His music isn't fresh anyhow. I move we go stop it." "Thank you, I'm very comfortable here. I don't second the motion," she declined. "Motion withdrawn.
We may discover on close acquaintance that one is more likable than we first supposed; and if that is impossible, then we learn to keep our dislikes to ourselves." The dining-hall was rapidly filling. Landis Stoner and Min Kean came in among the last, the former taking her place at Miss Cresswell's table, sitting beside Elizabeth.
