I politely begged Santis to return me the ring, and he replied with the utmost coolness that he had done so already. "If you had returned it," said I, "it would be on my finger, and you see that it is not." He persisted in his assertion; the girls said nothing, but Santis's friend, a Portuguese, named Xavier, dared to tell me that he had seen the ring returned.
"Will you be good enough to come upstairs?" said the Prophet to her very politely, though his fingers twitched to strangle her. "I wish to present you to my grandmother, and dinner is just ready." Madame rose with dignity. "I am ready too," she said, with a click. "Semper paratis." And, shaking up the fichu, she ascended the stairs.
"Doesn't he?" she asked politely. One of the secrets of her popularity lay in her willingness to feed a story along with deft little interjections of interest. "He does not. Poetry! Shakespeare! That's his 'forty'! At night he gets out a book and reads Hamlet to the rest of the boys. Thinks that if he'd ever hit Broadway with a show, he'd set the town on fire."
'Good-morning, said Mrs. Orange. 'Fine day. How do you do? Mrs. Lemon at home! 'Yes, ma'am. 'Will you say Mrs. Orange and baby? 'Yes, ma'am. Walk in.

"'Every fellow to his taste, as the old woman said when she kissed her cow. There may be good ones among the lot," he conceded politely when he saw that his time-worn joke had met with disfavor, even by the boys, who could and usually did laugh at almost anything. "They all look alike to me, I must admit; I never had any truck with 'em."
Prince Andrew shook himself as if waking up, and his face assumed the look it had had in Anna Pavlovna's drawing room. Pierre removed his feet from the sofa. The princess came in. She had changed her gown for a house dress as fresh and elegant as the other. Prince Andrew rose and politely placed a chair for her.
"I think it is an excellent place," said Compton, quickly; "and perhaps these gentlemen would be good enough to assist us with advice out of their great experience." "We should be delighted," said Mr. Hume, politely. The senior officer stroked his huge moustache with an air of renewed importance.
Lala bowed again and again, spread his hands, but did not speak. In fact, Joseph now perceived that he was having the conversation wholly to himself.
