In a second he was on his feet, bowing as politely as on their last meeting. "Miss Sylvia, I am glad to see you again," and he stepped forward to meet her. Sylvia, feeling quite grown-up, made her pretty curtsey, and smiled with delight at Mr. Waite's greeting, as he led her toward her mother and, with another polite bow, gave her the seat on the sofa. "I was hoping to see Miss Sylvia," he said.
Cecily, like a certain renowned personage, could not tell a lie. "I I think so, sir," she murmured faintly. "Who was it?" "I can't tell you that," stammered Cecily, on the verge of tears.

Nobody loves a fat man, so he has to buy candy so's they'll let him stick around. Le's see; you take chocolates, Bill. Name your drink, Miss Nash." She looked up at him, gravely and politely too gravely and politely. She didn't seem to consider him a nice person. "Neither, thank you," sharply, as he still stood there.

We were only three or four miles from our destination, so we pushed on, and at the last I lingered behind, and made F go first and borrow a cloak or shawl. You would have laughed if you had heard my pathetic adjurations to him to be sure to bring it by himself. I was so afraid that some one else would politely insist on accompanying him.
Father Vedder pulled out the box. Kit and Kat each took a duck and carried it out to the poultry house. "Twins are a great care," said Kit and Kat. "Now is the time to ask," whispered Kat to Kit, that night, when Father Vedder had finished his supper and was lighting his pipe. "You must ask very politely, just the very politest way you can." They went and stood before their father.
He knows something of the value of rarities!" "Viva! Long life to the French cook, il grande ministre della cucina!" Gianettino bowed politely in response to the compliment, and then civilly asked the price of the fish. The fisherman stood there with an expression of regretful sadness upon his face. "I fear it will be of little use to name the price!" said he, "the fish is as good as sold!"
A little after noon Shock found the trail turn in toward a long, log, low-roofed building, which seemed to have been erected in sections, with an irregular group of sod-roofed out-houses clustering about. An old man lounged against the jamb of the open door. "Good day," said Shock politely.
