"From the first moment when the inimitable creatures began, at Sen's spoken word, to go through the ordinary details of their domestic affairs, there was no sort of doubt as to the nature of the success with which their well-trained exertions would be received.
Most of them are missionaries, and they are so busy; they have a large field, you see." "Very and a weedy one, I should think." He was looking round, noting with well-trained glance the thousand little indescribable touches that make a charming room. He knew his ground.
Her eyes took fire and Julius swung about in his chair to find out the cause. Then he sprang up, and if he did not shout his relief and joy it was because well-trained young men, even though they be not yet out of college, do not give vent to their emotions in public.
