A youth, a mild-faced Acadian, was drawing water from the cistern, which was nothing more than a rusty buoy, with an opening on one side, sunk in the ground. The water which the youth handed to them in a tin pail was not cold to taste, but it was cool to her heated face, and it greatly revived and refreshed her. Madame Antoine's cot was at the far end of the village.
"I stepped into the next office in the street, and a mild-faced, genial man, also a large and opulent merchant, asked me my business in such a tone, that I instantly looked through my spectacles, and saw a land flowing with milk and honey. There I pitched my tent, and stayed till the good man died, and his business was discontinued.
It is true that you are not my first-born son, since the Count Ramessu" here he pointed to a stout mild-faced man of pleasing, rather foolish appearance "is your elder by two years. But, as he knows well, his mother, who is still with us, is a Syrian by birth and of no royal blood, and therefore he can never sit upon the throne of Egypt. Is it not so, my son Ramessu?"
"Ah, par exemple!" cried the young man. "You deserve that I should never leave you." Going into the parlor they found Mr. Wentworth performing introductions. A young man was standing before the Baroness, blushing a good deal, laughing a little, and shifting his weight from one foot to the other a slim, mild-faced young man, with neatly-arranged features, like those of Mr. Wentworth.
And of course Maria Maxwell will not object; why should she? he will come and go as usual, and she will hardly know that he is in the house." Barney harnessed the mild-faced horse of our neighbour's lending to that most comfortable of all vehicles, a buggy with an ample box behind and a top that can be dropped and made into a deep pocket to hold gleanings, or raised as a shield from sun and rain.
We waited while our chaperon brought the battalion commander a mild-faced little man, more like a school-teacher than a soldier and it was decided that, as the trenches were not under fire at the moment, we might go into them. He led the way into the communication trench a straight-sided winding ditch, shoulder-deep, and just wide enough to walk in comfortably.
The dramatic critic a genial soul, well known to the shop-girls in Oxford Street, without social prejudices was deep in conversation with the father and brother of the bride; the musical critic, a mild-faced man, adjusted his spectacles, and awaking from his dream reminded them of an afternoon concert that began unusually early, and where his presence was indispensable.
"And once there was a man whose pictures I see in the papers the next day as having committed suicide. I remembered him in a minute. Well, no, he didn't look like he was going to commit suicide. He looked just about like all the other passengers tired and sleepy and sort of down." The mild-faced conductor helped one of his passengers off.
Tillie's eyes swept the faces before her, from the stern, set features of her father on her left, to the mild-faced, long-haired, hooks-and-eyes Amishman on her right.
The mild-faced steward, weeping now, as much from professional disappointment as from stronger emotion, was questioned sternly, and allowed his freedom on his promise not to "sing out" or make trouble.
