"That's Uncle Frank," exclaimed the latter, as a tall, gentlemanly-looking man rode up alongside their father. Mrs Hugh Berrington came out to receive them. Greetings were over by the time the first dray drew up at the door. The captain and Mrs Berrington assisted a lady to descend, and carried her in their arms into the house.
They were pleasant, gentlemanly-looking men, and I longed to introduce myself to them, as I was beginning to get somewhat weary of the rough characters with whom I was doomed to associate. But from what the men told me, I felt sure that if I did so I should make the captain my enemy. He and they were evidently not on good terms.
The motion was seconded, and a show of hands resulted in favor of the nominee. A gentlemanly-looking man with a pleasant face advanced to the speaker's stand, and with a bow made a few remarks to this effect: "Fellow citizens: This is new business to me, as you are doubtless aware.
There are numerous lines of route, both north and south of the great centres of commerce, and all converging towards the city as their nucleus, which are traversed, morning and evening, for two or three consecutive hours, by bands of gentlemanly-looking individuals: clerks, book-keepers, foremen, business-managers, and such like responsible functionaries, whose unimpeachable outer integuments testify to their regard for appearances.
Do not let the word coach conjure up a vision of "the good old times," a dashing mail with a well-groomed team of active bays, harness all "spick and span," a gentlemanly-looking coachman, and a guard in military scarlet, the whole affair rattling along the road at a pace of ten miles an hour. The vehicle in which we performed a journey of 120 miles in 20 hours deserves a description.
No objections were made, and Major Burkess a slight, peaceable, gentlemanly-looking man stepped out of the crowd, and said: "You all know the object of this meeting, gentlemen. The first thing in order is to prove the identity of the prisoner." "Needn't trouble yourself 'bout that," growled the prisoner. "I'm Bill Bowney; an' yer too cowardly to untie me, though ther be a dozen uv yer."
He was kind enough to bring it for me; so I felt more at ease, and prepared to enjoy myself. A very gentlemanly-looking man sang us a song, so unutterably funny that we were dissolved in inextinguishable laughter; and then, from behind a curtain, began to come boys in black, one after another, as the imps in a pantomime come from a place I dare not mention, to chase the clown to his destruction.
Wilmot left the shop: but though he was now as well dressed and as gentlemanly-looking as any man in Southampton, he turned into the first by-street, and hurried away from the town to a lonely walk beside the water. He walked along the shore until he came to a village near the river, and about a couple of miles from Southampton.
And now her eye, roving round the room, fixed itself with the drunkard's divine unerring instinct upon Denis. What a nice, modest, gentlemanly-looking boy! Just what she wanted. "This sirocco!" she sighed, groping dramatically for a chair. "It makes me feel so funny. Oh, dear! I shall go off in a faint. Ah, do be a kind young man and fetch me some brandy and soda. A large tumbler. Ah, do!
It was done stealthily, mark you; and when folks go on stealthy errands they are safe to be met." Before he had finished speaking, a gentlemanly-looking boy of about twelve, with delicate features, a damask flush on his face, and wavy auburn hair, sprang up with a start.
