"She had a lover whom she loved dearly," she said, "a young man." "Oh, a lover," said Herr Molk. But there seemed to be no anger in his voice.
"In all my soldiering," writes a brother officer, "I have never seen a warmer feeling between men and their officer." "Was he not," asks a well-known Eton master, "that tall, smiling, strong, gentle-mannered boy at White-Thomson's?" possessing an "affectionate regard and feeling for others which boys as boys, especially if strong and popular, don't always, or indeed often possess."
At class-time young Poe was invariably in his place and invariably the pale, thoughtful, student-like and faultlessly neat and gentle-mannered youth whose intelligent attention and admirable recitations were the joy of his masters.

"I've had a shot at his men more than once, but there are one or two in that Kerr family I'd like to sling a gun down on!" It was strange to hear that gentle-mannered, refined girl talk of fighting as if it were the commonest of everyday business. There was no note of boasting, no color of exaggeration in her manner.
Esther Woodford, who, at the time of her husband's death, scarcely numbered five-and-twenty years, was still a remarkably comely, as well as interesting, gentle-mannered person; and moreover had, for her station in life, received a tolerable education.
