Having finished which, with due satisfaction to artistic details, he stood off and admired his own handiwork. "Looks a little like Witham," he said. "Only it looks better-natured than he does."
"My dear fellow, if you should back out, I should be mad enough to help you over the rail, some dark evening, if I had a good chance." "I don't believe I should feel any better-natured if you should break your agreement. One of us is doomed to disappointment. We have tried to make this thing as fair as possible." "Certainly we have, and it will be as fair as anything can be.
The world grows wiser and better-natured every day, and the tender statistician has long since stayed the hand of the critic. "Why strike," says the gentle sage, "when figures will do your work so much more effectually, and leave you the repose of a compassionate soul? Do you not know that but one book in a thousand survives the year of its publication?" etc., etc., etc.
This inconvenience was presently remedied by an exchange of horses; and then Fanny being again placed on her pillion, on a better-natured and somewhat a better-fed beast, the parson's horse, finding he had no longer odds to contend with, agreed to march; and the whole procession set forwards for Booby-hall, where they arrived in a few hours without anything remarkable happening on the road, unless it was a curious dialogue between the parson and the steward: which, to use the language of a late Apologist, a pattern to all biographers, "waits for the reader in the next chapter."
"Did you say he was going to be buried this afternoon?" asked Kate, slowly. We were both more startled than I can tell. "Yes," said the man, who seemed much better-natured than his wife.

Montague came up stairs better-natured than she had been all day, and turning to Mona, as she entered the room, she asked: "Have you none but mourning dresses with you? nothing white, or pretty, for evening?" "No; my dresses are all black; the only thing I have that would be at all suitable for evening is a black net," Mona answered, wondering, with rising color, why she had asked the question.

I now comforted him with the example of Xerxes, as I had before done with that of the king of Sweden; and soon after we sat down to breakfast together with much cordial friendship; for I assure you, with all his oddity, there is not a better-natured man in the world than the major."
And Stephen, he took to drink a little, at first, to be jovial with the customers; more and more gradually, until, at the end of the honey-moon, he was half his time on the fuddle. And Mary Dane didn't care. She laughed in her pretty way when people talked. "'Let him take his glass, Mariam, says she to me. 'He's fonder of me in his cups, and better-natured every way, than when he's sober.
It would have been impossible for him to do this last, Ruth was sure. But the story of the bag of crackers delighted Agnes.
