Langdon was amused. "Does look like I'd been interviewing you. I reckon each one of us has got a pretty good notion of what the other man's like. I wanted it that way, and I like you, Mr. Haines. I've got a proposition to make to you. They tell me I'll need a secretary. Now, I think I need just such a young man as you.
I went up once more to the top of the ridge, and looking down saw her again as I had seen her at first, only dimmer, swiftly, lightly moving or flitting moth-like or ghost-like over the low flat salting, still gathering samphire in the cold wind, and the thought that came to me was that I was looking at and had been interviewing a being that was very like a ghost, or in any case a soul, a something which could not be described, like certain atmospheric effects in earth and water and sky which are ignored by the landscape painter.
He was back again in a moment with the soldier who had brought in this batch of candidates without interviewing the treasurer. "Orderly," spoke the surgeon, "you have overlooked one part of your instructions. You did not take these candidates to the treasurer's office." "No, sir." "Do so now.

I certainly believe every corporation must have its rules, otherwise executives would be besieged all day by timewasters.
It was, as he had said, a mere statement of facts, and I mentally determined to seize an early opportunity of interviewing Von Eckhardt when I arrived at Petersburg. "You needn't have troubled to question me," resumed Southbourne, in his most nonchalant manner. "I meant to tell you the little I know, for your own protection.
So they hie them to a divinity school and are taught the mysteries of theological tierce and thrust; and interviewing a clerical tailor they are ready to accept the honors and partake of the living. After a careful study of the life of Patrick Bronte I can not find that his ambition extended beyond the desirable things I have named that is to say, inclusively, honors and a living.
But remembering the bites Zara had already received, Mary was silent. Even Zara's amateurish hand thus finally withdrawn, it became Mary's task to find some worthy and capable person to act as mistress. Taking her obligations seriously, she devoted her last days in Australia to conning and penning advertisements, and interviewing applicants. "Now no one too attractive, if you please, Mrs.
Even the eccentricity of Benis, in its most extravagant mode, seemed inadequate as a covering explanation. Giving himself a mental shake, the intruder picked up the largest chair and rejoined Aunt Caroline. "It's Benis right enough," he announced. "He is probably off interviewing Indians. I had better light a fire. It may break the news."
It was obviously written to display the talents of Mrs. Clive, who played in it her favourite character of a hoyden, and, after "interviewing" a number of suitors chosen by her father, finally ran away with Thomas the footman a course in those days not without its parallel in high life, above stairs as well as below.
