"Esquire Knowlton, of Townsend, has the floor now," said the chairman, interrupting the speaker, and directing his attention to a middle-aged man of a gentlemanly, intelligent appearance, who was standing on one side of the room, having suspended the remarks he was making at the entrance of Dunning and his companion. "As I was remarking, Mr.
Very retiring and gentlemanly he was. Even his voice was gentle. He'd had the quinsy and swollen glands when he was young, he told me, and it had left him with a weak throat and a hesitating, whispering fashion of speech. He was always well dressed, very neat and plain, but his eyes were weak, just as mine are, and he wore tinted glasses against the glare." "Well, and what happened when Mr.
If John bad been a gentlemanly creature, with refined tastes, he would have elevated his feet and made a nuisance of himself by indulging in a "weed;" but being only an uncultivated youth, with a rustic regard for pure air and womankind in general, he kept his head uppermost, and talked like a man, instead of smoking like a chimney.
He looked at her with gentlemanly sympathy. "I have had to see to a lot of things in a hurry. Unexpectedly, we have to leave Naples to-morrow; we are going to England." "Indeed? You don't say so! Really, I'm very sorry to hear that, Miss Denyer." "I am sorry too to have to leave Italy for such a climate at this time of the year." She shuddered.
During the many visits of Captain Riga to the ship, he always said something courteous to a gentlemanly, friendless custom-house officer, who staid on board of us nearly all the time we lay in the dock. And weary days they must have been to this friendless custom-house officer; trying to kill time in the cabin with a newspaper; and rapping on the transom with his knuckles.
His temper got away from him. "You've held your nose up pretty high in this world, General Waymouth! Do you call a trick to steal my nomination away from me at the last moment gentlemanly or decent? I've put in my time and my money and my efforts. I've made a campaign. And I've waited for this!" "You needn't insult the General in that fashion, Dave," broke in Thornton. "Address your talk to me.
The man, the worker, whom this little flock of wife and two surviving children now followed through the world as their leader, sat with his face toward his desk In a corner of the room; solidly squared before his undertaking, liking it, mastering it; seldom changing his position as the minutes passed, never nervously; with a quietude in him that was oftener in Southern gentlemen in quieter, more gentlemanly times.
It appeared that for some months past Madariaga had been the financial guarantor and devoted swain of a German prima donna stranded in South America with an Italian opera company. It was she who had recommended Karl an unfortunate countryman, who after wandering through many parts of the continent, was now living with her as a sort of gentlemanly singer.
I should be five years getting to it, and should have to spend two hundred a year in going circuit before I had earned a farthing. Physic? This really seemed the only gentlemanly refuge left; and yet, with the knowledge of my father's experience before me, I was ungrateful enough to feel a secret dislike for it.
Why, these were all OLD NEWSPAPERS. That gentlemanly man who had lent them to him had said so. Old! yet they completed the year 1867. He now tore through them for the dates alone, and soon found they went to 1868. Yet they were old papers. He had sailed in May, 1867. "My God!" he cried, in agony, "I HAVE LOST A YEAR." This thought crushed him.
