But it was hard to make the application of their hatred to the amiable-looking people whom they saw everywhere around them in the quality of tyrants, especially when their Venetian friends confessed that personally they liked the Austrians.
When we came down to dinner we were told that there were two other gentlemen, also English, who were to dine with us, and in due course they appeared the one a man verging towards fifty-eight, a kind of cross between Cardinal Manning and the late Mr. John Parry, the other some ten years younger, amiable-looking and, I should say, not so shining a light in his own sphere as his companion.
I think perhaps Oswald and Dicky might have fought and settled them though there were eleven, yet back to back you can always do it against overwhelming numbers in a book only Alice called out 'Oswald, here's some more, come back! We went. Three big men were coming down the road, very red and hot, and not amiable-looking.
A mild, flabby, amiable-looking old person, with shelving forehead and grey locks excellently built for the object, Jorian said entered. The Capet head and embonpoint were there.
All are good-humoured and amiable-looking people, very square and Mongolian in countenance, with broad mouths, high cheek-bones, narrow, upturned eyes, broad, flat noses, and low foreheads.
In a shed adjacent to that occupied by the "Lord White Elephant" stood his lady wife, a browner, plumper, and generally more amiable-looking animal. Contrary to universal experience elsewhere, elephants in Burmah breed in captivity, but this union was unfertile and the race of "Lord White Elephants" had to be maintained ab extra.

Andrew gazed with dull hatred at the plain amiable-looking young man, whose air of indefinable elegance seemed to reach forth and smite him in the face. The gulf, which had been a gradually widening rift, seemed suddenly to yawn. "Well, I must go," said Chapman. "I have to get my stuff off, you know. Will see you in the morning."
"Have more wine," she said to Aaron. But he refused. She liked him because of his dead-level indifference to his surroundings. French waiters and foreign food he noticed them in his quick, amiable-looking fashion but he was indifferent. Josephine was piqued. She wanted to pierce this amiable aloofness of his. She ordered coffee and brandies.
Mac called it a "tip-top record for the Wet," and the Maluka agreed with him; for in the Territory it is not the number of miles that counts, but what is met with in those miles. During the first afternoon we met so many amiable-looking watercourses, that the Sanguine Scot grew more and hopeful about crossing the Fergusson that night.
