"Perhaps it is as well that the laws of politeness keep one's mouth shut at times, and that we do not say what we feel." "It would be better," insisted Leam. "I wonder if you would say so were I to tell you what I thought of you now?" Adelaide replied, measuring her scornfully with her eyes. "Why should you not? What have I done to be ashamed of?" Leam asked.
There was something, however, in the English ships, that greatly excited their attention; for such as could not come off in canoes, assembled on the neighbouring hills to look at them. In one instance it was apparent, that the inhabitants were so far from having made any progress in politeness, that they were still immersed in the most savage manners.
She was received, however, very politely by them; and in their brother's manners there was something better than politeness; there was good humour and kindness.

The Twins greeted him with a cold, almost murderous politeness; Wiggins shook hands with Mrs. Dangerfield very warmly and left out Captain Baster.
