"They want honesty and purity, and public spirit. They see vice more rampant than it was in the days of the Empire. They see the Bourgeois shirking their duty. They see license and extravagance everywhere." "It is a pity they don't look at home," Cuthbert laughed good-temperedly. "I have not yet learnt that either purity or honesty, or a sense of duty are conspicuous at Montmartre or Belleville.
As he spoke there were other steps behind, and more from the front, and Don realised that they were hemmed in that narrow lane between two little parties of armed men. Just then the door of the lanthorn was closed, and the man who bore it held it close to Jem's face. "Well?" said that worthy, good-temperedly, "what d'yer think of me, eh? Lost some one? 'Cause I arn't him."
Bah, it is sickening to see a young fellow wasting his life so." But Cuthbert only laughed good-temperedly, he was accustomed to such tirades, and was indeed of a singularly sweet and easy temper.
"Yes." Catia put her elbows on the table and clasped her hands around her cup. "I was looking at you, Scott, all the time this last convocation was going on." He smiled benevolently, by way of preparation for flinging himself once more upon the columns of his morning paper. "You'd much better have been looking at the Bishop," he advised her good-temperedly. She shook her head.
"And you and Nat quarrelling good-temperedly again as to which is the best cider, that at the Manor or theirs at the Hall." "No, Master Fred; that's going a little too far, sir. Eh? What say?"

"I shall not trouble to contradict that," he remarked good-temperedly, "because I know you don't believe it yourself. Why, it would be absolutely splendid to be always with you." Another couple walked by, breathless after the climb.
"You'll like me all the better later on," said Gertie, "because of that. Always supposing," she continued, "that you do go on liking me." "So far as I can gather," he remarked good-temperedly, "I am persona grata now at Praed Street." "I don't know what that means," she said; "but aunt has quite taken to you. Just look at this! Isn't it extr'ordinary?
Dot swung open the door for the last time, turned to depart, and then exclaimed in a very different tone, "Why, Bertie, so here you are! We were just talking of you." A straight, well-made youth, with a brown face that laughed good-temperedly, was advancing through the hall. "Hullo!" he said, halting at the doorway. "Awfully nice of you! What were you saying, I wonder? Hullo, Ralph!
As if it were ever wrong with me, and the sea! We know each other, we do each other no harm. You may die on the sea, but I shall not! No, there is another way to Valhalla!" "Oh, I dare say there are no end of ways," said Errington good-temperedly, still poising himself on the ladder, and holding on to the side of his yacht, as he watched his late visitor take the oars and move off.
