Turl, and while those two were discussing the qualities of the cigars, Larcher had an opportunity of asking Florence, quietly: "Who is your visitor? Have you known him long?"

It's not a common name."
He is very fond of Curzon, though knowing absolutely nothing about him beyond the fact that he is eminently likeable; and it now strikes him as strange that this silent, awkward, ill-dressed, clever man should be the one to teach him how to behave himself. Who is Curzon?
Up to the time that he heard the far-off sound of their automobile struggling up the long hill, he had made no mental picture of his employers. He rather hoped that Mr. Kenly Lounsbury uncle of the missing man would represent the usual type of middle-aged American with whom he had previously dealt, cold-nerved, likeable business men that came for recreation on the caribou trails.
Snake looked as if he would never move from that position until he toppled over. Al pulled the bridle off Skinner, gave him a half-affectionate slap on the rump, and watched him go off, switching his tail and nosing the ground for a likeable place to roll. Al's glance went on to Snake, and from him to Lorraine. "You sure do know how to ride hell out of a horse," he remarked.
Dost think that old Mountain theer looks like a likeable un? No, no. Might as well expect cat an' dog t' agree as Reddy and Mountain.

"I would not have believed a prince could be so likeable, sir." "I am, and shall remain, a mere observer," he said, "a mere tracker-down of ten per cent on good security, but I don't mind admitting that, prince for prince, I prefer this young gentleman to the fat, snuffy, waddling, little drill-sergeant he's trying to displace." "You know the King, sir!"
"Everybody, I should think, must be kind to you." "I do have a good time pretty much; but nowhere so good as here. I fear that when I get back I shall not like New York."

"Ah, one can't say! Clifford is very young; but he is a nice boy." "He 's a likeable sort of boy, and he will be a rich man." This was Acton's last experiment. Madame Munster turned away. She made but a short visit and Felix took her home. In her little drawing-room she went almost straight to the mirror over the chimney-piece, and, with a candle uplifted, stood looking into it.
The Confederation wanted to see if a well-qualified, likeable and intelligent creature from another world would be accepted and elevated to equal rank as a physician with Earthmen."
