One day Will was sauntering down the High Street when he saw two country-looking men coming along. One of them looked at him and staggered back in astonishment. “Why,” he exclaimed, “it is Mr. Gilmore! We thought you were in prison in the middle of France, sir.” “So I was, Dimchurch; but, as you see, I have taken leg-bail.” “That was a terrible affair, sir, at them French batteries.
But you wait until I get my complet de velours which is to say my velveteens. I shall match up with the rig then, never fear. Rome was not built in a day, nor can a lady from the city turn into a country-looking lady in the wink of an eye.
Desmond had not boarded a through train; he was to go to a large town where he would meet a through express. The train he had entered was a way train, and he seated himself by the window. No one was in the seat with him at first, but soon the country-looking chap took a seat beside him.
To-day they greeted its appearance with as much enthusiasm as they would the electric chair. A train was coming in, but it was not one for the troops. It was a mixed train, composed of one passenger car, a baggage and smoker combined, and several milk cars. "What a country-looking train," was Amy's comment.
The first object which caught his eye in the kitchen was a tall, stout, country-looking man in a large jockey great-coat, the owner of the horse which stood in the shed, who was busy discussing huge slices of cold boiled beef, and casting from time to time an eye through the window to see how his steed sped with his provender.

"Your flowers are sadly withered, my little maid," said a kind, country-looking gentleman, who was buying some vegetables at a stall near her. "Oh, sir! I have fresh ones, here, sir; please look;" and the child lifted up the cover of her basket, and drew from the very bottom a bunch of blossoms on which the dew of morning still rested.
'Oh, Mary, how unfeeling! 'I thought it could be doing no good! 'That is so like prudent people, who can allow no true love under five hundred pounds a year! Did you see them? How did they look? 'Charlotte was standing in an attitude, her hands clasped over her broom. The gentleman was a country-looking boy 'Bearing himself like a sensible, pugnacious cock-robin?
Francis did not speak again, and after a little while she must have dropped off to sleep; for when she came to herself again the road was a different one. They were traveling along between rows of pines, and the road stretched ahead of them, empty and country-looking. She turned and asked sleepily, "What time is it, Francis, please?"
She was a country-looking, fresh-complexioned young woman, who was smartly dressed and trim as to ribbons and such things; and she held in her hand a basket of fairly good size and of fancy wicker-work. And this basket, those nearest her could see, held nothing else than a mass of wild roses, all with the thorns carefully removed from the stems, and set in a bed of moss and sweetbrier leaves.
