I loathe the people with their inane chatter, and the idiotic children, and the highly-correct and gentlemanly captain, all equally.
From his birth and social position, his mixing with the noblest and best society in the land, and his versatility and quick perceptive powers, Mr. Hope-Scott is so thoroughly master of the art of pleasing that a committee cannot fail to be ingratiated by him; and is certainly never offended, as he is gentlemanly and amiable to a fault.
The gentlemanly burglar and the policeman lent their aid to pull the man into the train; the door banged, and they were away. "You've all but missed it," said the burglar.
