"They are very pretty, neat-looking birds, nurse; dark slate colour, with white breasts." "When I was a little girl I used to call them my Quaker-birds, they looked so neat and prim.
Presently a servant girl, who looked as if she might be one of the under-housemaids, unbolted and unbarred the door, and opened it a few inches. "When she saw a neat-looking girl, in all probability a schoolgirl, standing outside she opened it a little further and her jaw dropped in some astonishment.
"Say I met a young man down-stairs, goin' out." "Mr. Turl probably. He just left me. A neat-looking, smooth-faced young man, smartly dressed." "That's him. What name did you say?" "Turl." "Never heard the name. But I've seen that young fellow somewhere. It's funny: as I looked round at 'im just now, it seemed to me all at wunst as if I'd met that same young man in that same place a long time ago.

Our first stops at noon and at night were at wayside inns built much like a Turkish khan on two or three sides of an enclosure of mud and stones, and furnished with a strong gate.

I ha' got ten pound no matter how and no matter where and it's yours just to let me go to sea this week instead of next. A handy, neat-looking sailor like you, Will, need never be long out of a berth, and it's vital for me to get away just now. Ten pound, just to oblige a mate!

A neat-looking coloured woman glanced in at the gate as she was passing by, and then stood still in amazement.
The interior was quite deserted; except that a Roman, of respectable appearance, was making a pilgrimage at the altars, kneeling and saying a prayer at each one. Outside of the Coliseum, a neat-looking little boy came and begged of me; and I gave him a baiocco, rather because he seemed to need it so little than for any other reason.
We don't want cider this time we only want a very neat-looking pocketbook which you happen to have, and your late excellent mother's four silver teaspoons, which you keep so nice and clean on the chimney-piece.
