He noted the subjects of the pictures, the names of the painters, made a calculation of their values, but without the satisfaction he usually derived from this inward appraisement, and walked on. No. 62 would do well enough for another year, if he decided to build!
He never spoke of her nor of his son, and Burt's life seemed to have for its aim the piling up of dollars faster than his neighbors. Helen grasped something of his character in her swift appraisement. As she returned his impersonal gaze she realized that to him she was simply a female a person in petticoats who was going to take up his time and bore him until he could get rid of her.
The faintest shade of dogmatism crossed Captain Filbert's features, as when, on a day of cloud fleeces, the sun withdraws for an instant from a flower.

We raise our own Ebenezer; we are a tabernacle to ourselves."
They neither boast nor apologize, but leave every visitor free to make his own appraisement of their school and its belongings.

The placid, anæmic, fiberless child is ill prepared in physique to attain to that mastery of the mental and spiritual world that makes for an approximation to complete living. =Examples cited.= If one will but make a mental appraisement of the first one hundred people he meets, he will see among the number quite a few who reveal a lack of physical vigor.
It is true that the nation had sold this princely domain for scarcely a twentieth part of its real value. The appraisement was sixty-nine thousand francs. It was giving the property away.
