It'll take uncommon luck to pull you through and I hope you'll have it." "Thank you," said Susan. He took her hand, pressed it friendlily and she felt that he was a man with real good in him, more good than many who would have shrunk from him in horror. She was waiting for a thrust from fate. But fate, disappointing as usual, would not thrust.
"Aren't you even going to look at the fiance you've picked out?" she heard him say half-amusedly. "Why, I'm not going to hurt you, child." He took her hands down. She let him, and raised her eyes to his kindly, wise steel-gray ones. He seemed to be regarding her in a friendly fashion, and she dared to look at him friendlily, too even to smile a little.

They were armed with spears and clubs, had long matted hair like a black thatch over their heads, and were altogether a very forbidding, unattractive set of beings.

"There's some truth in that," and I hope that I do not deceive myself in thinking I was honest there. "More truth, perhaps, than you guess." She looked shrewdly at me and friendlily.

"Here's a chain would become you vastly, Lorance," Mme. de Montpensier went on, friendlily enough, in her brisk and careless voice.
Good luck." And I nodded carelessly and friendlily to her, and went away, enjoying the pleasure of having startled her into visible astonishment. "There's a better game than icy hostility, you very young, young lady," said I to myself, "and that game is friendly indifference." Alva would be with her. So she was secure for the present and my mind was free for "finance."

This afternoon I saw the Poll Bill, now printed; wherein I do fear I shall be very deeply concerned, being to be taxed for all my offices, and then for my money that I have, and my title, as well as my head. It is a very great tax; but yet I do think it is so perplexed, it will hardly ever be collected duly.
The cur did not take the turnpike, but jumped the fence into a field, making his way by the rear of houses, from which now and then another dog would slink out and silently join the band. Every one of them Satan nosed most friendlily, and to his great joy the funeral dog, on the edge of the town, leaped into their midst.
