David swallowed the rising interrogation; substituted instead an observant poke: "Miss Humfray doesn't want to speak to you. She hates you." The uncompromising directness of these brats, their gross ill- mannerliness, was a matter of which Bob made constant complaint to his mother. The belief that he observed a twitch at the corner of Mary's mouth served further to harden his tones.
The big, rich, simple house was part of it, and Mildred's father and mother were part of it. They stood beside her, large, serene people, murmuring graciously and gently inclining their handsome heads as they gave their hands to the guests; and even the youngest and most ebullient of these took on a hushed mannerliness with a closer approach to the bower.
Though elastic in nature she was less daring than Bathsheba, and occa- sionally showed some earnestness, which consisted half of genuine feeling, and half of mannerliness superadded by way of duty.

He has not the glib faculty of sliding over a tale, but his words come squeamishly out of his mouth, and the laughter commonly before the jest. He names this word college too often, and his discourse beats too much on the university. The perplexity of mannerliness will not let him feed, and he is sharp set at an argument when he should cut his meat.
