"Have you taken her temperature?" he said, businesslike and erect. "Ninety-eight." "Her pulse is strong?" "Yes; she's resting quietly." "Good. And did you get my note?" This, much as if he had said, "Did you find my scarf-pin?" or anything merely casual; for Liz was hovering near. "Yes." The nurse's red lips were trembling, but she smiled up at him. Liz came nearer.
These gloves seem to have a peculiarly businesslike meaning for the others, and now they watched, fascinated, while the sheriff tugged his fingers deeper into the gloves, as if he were getting ready for action. He cleared his throat and managed to snap out the rest of the shameful statement. "He stuck me up, boys, and he told Jig to beat it up the trail.
He noted her quiet manner of speaking and the businesslike way with which she handled her gun. What she meant for him to do he did not clearly understand. Whatever it was, she would find him ready. He slipped a shell into the barrel from the magazine, and waited. He noticed that the girl was watching him closely as they came to the end of the winding channel. Then she gave him brief instructions.
And under the guidance of Great Britain and the United States acting in unison, assured in advance of the sympathy of France and Japan and of whatever other Powers would welcome the new order of things, a Hague committee or other international tribunal could be made a businesslike organisation working directly for results, as directly as the board of directors of any commercial corporation.

Todd laughing behind us in the kitchen I laughed too, but William did not even blush. I think he was a little deaf, and he stepped along before me most businesslike and intent upon his errand. We went from the upper edge of the field above the house into a smooth, brown path among the dark spruces.
Manley in a brisk, businesslike voice. "One of the under-gamekeepers has been spreading a scandalous and lying story about you and Colonel Grey, something about his kissing you in the East wood on the afternoon of Lord Loudwater's death, and he has gone on to suggest, or assert I don't know which that you and Colonel Grey had a hand in Lord Loudwater's death."
"It's a guess I've been making myself," answered Jack. Their surmises were all too true, for very soon Commander McClure, who had been ashore for some hours now while the businesslike preparations were in progress, came alongside in the launch of the commandant of the yard and called his staff of officers into executive conference down in the officers' quarters.
He was the most businesslike critic of a bill in committee the House of Representatives ever had, and was all the more effective in politics for his studiously conciliatory manner. Astute and wary, Sir Frederick Whitaker was oftener felt than seen.
