Perhaps by this time he had been found; perhaps one of the marquis's liveried lackeys, or a passing idler, or a woman with a market-basket had come upon him; perhaps even now he was being borne away on a plank to be identified. And here were we, knocking, knocking, as if we innocently expected him to open to us. I had a chill dread that suddenly he would open to us.
At sight of the liveried servants within, Fenwick's pride asserted itself. He walked in, head erect, as though the place belonged to him. Lord Findon came pleasantly to greet them as they entered the drawing-room, and took them up to Lady Findon. Cuningham she already knew, and she gave a careless glance and a touch of the hand to his companion.
They came down the white marble steps in stately fashion and ranged themselves as if the ceremony were of vast importance, and as Howard and Stafford got down they bowed with the air of attendants receiving royalty. As Stafford, flinging the reins to one of the grooms, got down, he caught sight of a line of liveried servants in the hall, and he frowned slightly.
The liveried porter was not sure where he might be found, but he often went to the palace of the Contarini, who were his near relations.

A liveried servant opened the door. "A gentleman is waiting for you, Madam," he announced. "His card is here on the " "I was expecting him," she interrupted.
A brief skirmish with a liveried menial in the lobby, and they were in their seats. Some philosopher, of extraordinary powers of intuition, once informed the world that the best of things come at last to an end. The statement was tested, and is now universally accepted as correct.
"As I rode up the noble avenue of oaks which led to the Hall, I felt so confident of success, so vain of my altered fortunes, so proud of the noble horse I rode, that my spirits grew buoyant, and my cheeks glowed with anticipated pleasure. "'Is Sir Alexander at home? I eagerly demanded of the liveried servant that opened the door. "'He is, sir.
A liveried servant opened the door, and the prince was obliged to enter into long explanations with this gentleman, who, from the first glance, looked at him and his bundle with grave suspicion.
