Talent such as yours is a responsibility; you must meet that responsibility." The dictionary of the English language was an inexhaustible quarry, from which the Canon had hewn and fashioned for himself a great reputation. "You must gom and blay to me at Schlachsenberg," said the kindly-faced Landgraf, whom the world adored and thwarted in about equal proportions.
At the end opposite the door there sat at a table all alone a big, portly, kindly-faced man, of a startlingly fatherly appearance, clean-shaven, gray-haired, and with fine features. This was the Abbot. Above him hung a crucifix, with the single word "Sitio" beneath it on a small black label. The meal began, however, with the ceremony of singing grace.
Noticing the perplexity on his face, the clerk, a kindly-faced, gray-haired man, asked him for what he was searching. "To see if Horace Chester ever owned any property in Red Top."

Here, by means of the Shah's interpreter, I am introduced to Nasr-i-Mulk, the Persian foreign minister, a kindly-faced yet business-looking old gentleman, at whose request I mount and ride with some difficulty around the confined and quite unsuitable foot-walks of the garden; a crowd of officials and farrashes look on in unconcealed wonder and delight.

By degrees her strength came back, and she raised herself and asked piteously for her child.
Watson was about to reply when an attractive voice, with the soft accent so characteristic of the Southerners, called: "What is it, Ethiopia? Any one to see me?" The next instant a kindly-faced gentlewoman of about fifty stood in the doorway. "Is there anything I can do for you?" she asked pleasantly.
In the shadow of the awning in a comfortable rocking chair sat a white-haired, kindly-faced woman, knitting a baby jacket. She looked up at him with a friendly smile. "I'm Miss Burch," she said. "I suppose you're that lawyer I wrote to? Won't you come up and sit down?" "Thanks," he replied, drawing nearer with an answering smile.
The conductor, a kindly-faced young fellow, pulled the strap, and helped him on to the platform with a peremptory "Move up front, there!" to the people standing inside. "Why!" exclaimed the old Friend, "do my eyes deceive me?" Then getting up, and taking the man by the arm, he seated him in his own place: "Thou art less able to stand than I."
