In mimicry of the great world, they had their leaders, so inscrutably self-imposed: instinctively, they felt and underwent that mystery of leadership, with its consequent heats of spirit, its tides and changes of influence. On the other hand also, to Gaston, dreamily observant, it was quaint, likeable, the way they had of reproducing, unsuspectingly, the humours of animal nature.
He is wonderful nothing short of wonderful and sometimes I feel almost fond of him, for he has many likeable sides to his character; all the same, I know very well he is not to be trusted. I took office on certain conditions, not one of which has he observed. He is one of those men with whom you cannot deal confidently." This was the bitterest thing I ever heard him say of his former enemy.
That, however, doesn't enter into the case." "It would seem to me that it might." "Between three days and three weeks," said Billy, remembering something, "the difference is sometimes no greater than between Tweedledum and Tweedledee." He smiled humorously at the other young man, a frank, likeable smile that softened magically the bluntness of his young mouth. "That's why I came to you.
I can answer for his not knowing his own, for I never, even upon the platform, the native home of bad English, heard so much in so short a time. The mesmeric lecturer and the sickly girl are almost equally disagreeable. In short, the only likeable person in the book is honest Silas Foster, who alone gives one the notion of a man of flesh and blood. In my mind, dear Mr.
The way it is, with only the two of us knowing the inside, I can stay on as a regular hand until the time is up." "You're so plausible," she said. "You put it as a favor to me. Did it ever strike you that if the truth were known it might also be uncomfortable for you?" He smiled across at her and once more she frowned as she discovered that he was likeable for all his underhandedness.
"You are a devilish likeable fellow and d'ye see what I mean is oh, dammit! Look for me at Tonbridge." Having said which, he sprang down the steps, entered the chaise and banged to the door. But now at the open window was a lovely face. "Good-bye Peregrine," and with the word she reached out her hand to me. "Good-bye," said I. "Barbara," she suggested.
It is not so hard a rule, old man, and observing it vehemently day and night will make all the wide difference to you between miserable failure and a fine and substantial success. You will meet two classes of men scholarly men like my friends, who will take you to clubs where writers, thinkers, students, etc., congregate, and less scholarly but not less likeable ordinary newspaper men.
His face, too, was good-natured and likeable. A certain half feminine, wild grace, combined with the queer effect of his headgear, caused us to name him Daphne. At home he was called Kingangui. At first he carried his burden after the fashion of savages on the back; and kept to the rear of the procession; and at evening consorted only with old Lightfoot.
Codge agreed to let him take one of his razors, and when I left him below, sir, it seemed quite certain that Mr. Gray was on the point of lending him a shirt and a change of underwear. "Good God, sir!" gasped Captain Trigger, with something more than emotion in his voice. "What is this you are telling me?" "He seems a most likeable chap," explained Mr. Mott lamely.
"I told him to stop, and he kep' right on a-going, so I shot at him," he explained. "What else was I to do? How was I to know he didn't belong to that gang? He acted like it."
