Kio was not like his eyes. He turned out, very shortly, to be a communicative and rather likable young fellow. He was ignorant of the white man's talk.
If I were married to him to-morrow, as surely as I am a woman I should be made to inflict pain upon him the next day, with an insane stress to show him, perhaps, I was not the ideal woman he had thought me perhaps out of a jealousy of that very ideal I had inspired rational creatures, aren't we? beg pardon not we, then, but I. Now he, being a real likable man of a man, can I do that for money?
As each man is to himself the most important thing in the world, each man is an egotist in his thinkings, in his desires, in his fears. It does not, however, follow that each man must be an egotist as the word is popularly understood in his speech. But even although this were the case, the world would be divided into egotists, likable and unlikable.
These men go harmlessly mad in time, believing themselves just behind the wall of fortune most likable and simple men, for whom it is well to do any kindly thing that occurs to you except lend them money.
From the first he had found in the personality of the young man something winning and likable; a shrewd manliness and tolerant good-humor. His eyes may have shown his sympathy, for, in sudden confidence, Ashton leaned nearer. "It's like this," he said. "Several years ago I made a bad break and, about a year later, they got on to me and I had to cut and run.
With that affectionate farewell ringing in his ears he came on down to Jonesville; and when the Eta Bita Pies saw his honest features and his particularly likable smile, they surrounded and assimilated him in something less than fifteen minutes by the clock. And then his troubles began.
They left town with the tacit understanding between them that they were going to have some fun with the Happy Family and with this likable little man of the movies. They rode out between long lines of hated barbed wire stretched taut, and they lied systematically and consistently to Luck Lindsay about themselves and their fellows and their particular condition of servitude to fate.
He at once began to question him as to who he was and whence he came. The man answered pleasantly, but without disclosing his identity. Birger thought him clever and likable, and after showing him around the shop, he went outside with him and began to brag about his sons.
Of the others, Spring is most likable, with its conception of the seasonal impulse to love; and Autumn, for the strength of its figures and the beauty of their modeling. In the forecourt, appropriately placed between the Palaces of Agriculture and Food Products, stands the Fountain of Ceres. Ceres stands above, with a wreath of cereals and a scepter of corn.
Although nobody seemed to know who or what the Steeles were, and they certainly lived very oddly in the old house at the lower end of Whiffle Street, Janet was so likable, and her invalid mother was evidently so much of a gentlewoman, that Laura and her chum had vouched for Janet and declared her to be "all right."
