Then the fellow-passenger he was stout and fifty and had a brilliant striped rug always over his knees pointed out the Buddha-like position of Angus, and the three in-starers smiled again. And so the fellow-passenger thought he must try too. So he put aside his rug, and lifted his feet from the floor, and took his toes in his hands, and tried to bring his legs up and his feet under him.
And lazily grand the lotus is, itself the embodiment of the spirit of the drowsy August air, the very essence of Buddha-like repose. The castle moats are its special domain, which in this its flowering season it wrests wholly from their more proper occupant the water.
"I'll go sensibly," Kitty agreed. They must not touch her! Karlov did not speak as he opened the door of the house for her. His expression was Buddha-like. "This way, miss," said the chauffeur, affably. "You are an American?" "Whenever it pays." Presently Kitty found herself in the attic, alone. They hadn't touched her; so much was gained. Poor little fool that she was!
He hardly thought of the existence of a West, but if his Buddha-like composure had been ruffled by such a thought, he might have droned monotonously: "Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet."

The interview was then closed; Emperor and Empress both assumed a Buddha-like impassivity of expression and allowed the I.G. to back just as if they were entirely oblivious of his presence. Such is the Chinese method of differentiating between the friend and the sovereign.
Meynell, is that you? A fine day at last!" "Yes, we may save the harvest yet!" said Meynell, pausing in his walk. A kind of nervous curiosity bade him try and detain the Canon. But France a man of sixty-five, with a large Buddha-like face, and a pair of remarkably shrewd and humorous black eyes looked him quickly over from top to toe, and hurried on, throwing a "good-bye" over his shoulder.
His was that rare type of character whose possessor remains master of his vices. Following the fourth pipe Pyne, after the second, had ceased to trouble to repeat his feat of legerdemain, "The sleep" claimed Mrs. Sin.
