He wore a black soft felt hat and a red silk sash which just peeped from beneath his waistcoat in all, striking, yet not bizarre, and notably of gentlemanlike manner. What arrested attention most, however, was his voice. People who heard it invariably turned to look or listened from sheer pleasure.

It is a very picturesque place, and has a certain gentlemanlike air with it pleasing to my snobbish taste.
"They're gentlemanlike men," said Sir Lionel; "very. One can't expect, you know, that every one should set the Thames on fire." "Cruse won't do that, at any rate," put in Mr. Pott. "But Mr. M'Gabbery perhaps may," suggested George. "At any rate, he made a little blaze just now at the brook above."
It ain't gentlemanlike, Frederic Lightfoot, which I knew you when you was a cab-boy, and when your father was in trouble, and got you the place you have now when the Frenchman went away. And if you think, sir, that because you're making up to Mrs.
