They were both brave and noble men, and each received the other in the politest and most gentlemanly manner.

A few moments more, and we were safely seated in a "Hansom's Patent," and on our way to Hughes's one of the politest men of the George Fox stamp we have ever met. Here we found forty or fifty persons, who, like ourselves, were bound for the Peace Congress.
Why don't you show a little excitement, at any rate? When Plantagenet told me, just before dinner, I almost jumped out of my shoes. He was going to tell you himself after dinner, in the politest way in the world, no doubt, and just as the servants were carrying away the apples.

Then he remembered how rude he had been to stare so. "I I beg your pardon," said Peter in his politest manner, which is very polite indeed, for Peter can be very polite when he wants to be. "I beg your pardon. I didn't mean to frighten you.
As soon as our explanations were given, the white man invited us, in the politest manner, to alight, and partake of his hospitality.
