So funny and so earnest; so small, and yet so great with purpose. "I don't think I've any views. R. L. S. summed up the whole duty of children ages ago, and it's our business to see that they do it that's all. Don't you remember: A child should always say what's true, And speak when he is spoken to, And behave mannerly at table: At least as far as he is able.
He said some things in jest that were very handsome and mannerly, and would have pleased me very well if they had been in earnest; but that passed over, I took the directions, and appointed to attend him at his house at seven o'clock the same evening.
To make one's self at home is to adapt one's self to one's environment. If things are different from what we are accustomed to, we must try to accustom ourselves to them, and the mannerly guest will strive to do this, not as a cross, but as a pleasure.
One of the three was Velasco, another a young man unknown to him, a mannerly little creature who might have been written by the author of "What the Man Will Wear" in the theatre programmes. The third was Sophie Weringrode, the Wilhelmstrasse agent whom he had only that afternoon observed entering the house in Seventy-ninth Street. He stopped short, in a cold rage.
My brother hardly knows where he is never saw those children so mannerly." Miss Fosbrook could not show how delighted she was. "I could hardly have ventured on taking those two girls to town unless you had broken them in a little.

So, a little of that modesty and humility that my mother's waiting-maid used to shew, will become thee better than the airs thou givest thyself, since my mother's son has taught thee to forget thyself.
Howard looked first at the playthings, and then at the children, and thus she spoke: "'My dear children, I sent for these pretty toys from the fair, in order to encourage you to be good: there is nothing that gives me greater pleasure than to see children polite and mannerly, endeavouring to please everybody, "in honour preferring one another," as God hath commanded us to do.
There were only two other scholars, the sons of the doctor and the Baptist preacher, lads of sixteen, not very mannerly, rather rough country boys, who nudged one another and regarded John with amused interest. In two or three days John knew that he was in the care of an unusually scholarly man, who became at once his friend and treated the lazy village boys and him with considerate kindliness.
Now my strength is gone from me, I that was adviser to the Fenians, my whole body is tired to-night, my hands, my feet, and my head; tired, tired, tired. It is bad the way I am after Finn of the Fenians; since he is gone away, every good is behind me. Without great people, without mannerly ways; it is sorrowful I am after our king that is gone.
