"That strange feeling again!" she thought, "I can never have been here before, at any rate!" Tommy Dudgeon's own confusion prevented his perceiving the momentary discomposure of his visitor.

"How are you, this afternoon?
He issued from his front door every morning at half-past eight holding a neat little attaché case in a neatly-gloved hand. He spent the day in an insurance office and returned, still unruffled and immaculate, at about half past six. Most people considered him quite dull and negligible, but he possessed the supreme virtue in William's eyes of not objecting to William.
Now Fergus's sermon, which he meant to use as a spade for the casting of the first turf of the first parallel in the siege of the pulpit of the North parish, was upon the vanity of human ambition, his text being the grand verse And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy; there was no small amount of fine writing in the manuscript he had thrust into his pocket; and his sermon was in his head when he remarked, with the wafture of a neatly-gloved hand seawards
"Have you declared your sentiments?" "Never!" cried Rosier, lifting his neatly-gloved hand. "Never till I've assured myself of those of the parents." "You always wait for that? You've excellent principles; you observe the proprieties." "I think you're laughing at me," the young man murmured, dropping back in his chair and feeling his small moustache.

Sylvia had become the wife of Maurice Frere.
Nellie Wynn was in the eye of Excelsior an unapproachable divinity, as inaccessible and cold as her father was impulsive and familiar. An atmosphere of chaste and proud virginity made itself felt even in the starched integrity of her spotless skirts, in her neatly-gloved finger-tips, in her clear amber eyes, in her imperious red lips, in her sensitive nostrils.
And while the honest Nabob posed for a moment, awaiting his people, amid those fashionable women, those famous men, that assorted gathering of all Paris which was present there with a name to fit each of its figures, a slender, neatly-gloved hand was held out to him, and the Duc de Mora, who was about to enter his coupé, said to him as he passed, with the effusiveness that happiness gives to the most reserved of men: "My congratulations, my dear deputy."

Mrs. Dollond seated herself smilingly on the least rickety chair, disposed of her veil with one neatly-gloved hand, and prepared a tortoiseshell eyeglass for action with the other. "What a charming portrait!" she said, pointing with her plump index-finger to the sketch of Mrs.
A bright, laughing face, prettily framed round by a black veil passed over the head and tied under the chin a traveling-dress of a nankeen color, studded with blue buttons and trimmed with white braid a light brown cloak over it little neatly-gloved hands, which seized in an instant on one of mine and on one of Owen's two dark blue eyes, which seemed to look us both through and through in a moment a clear, full, merrily confident voice a look and manner gayly and gracefully self-possessed such were the characteristics of our fair guest which first struck me at the moment when she left the postchaise and possessed herself of my hand.
But Jill was cutting out a warm pace, and he held his hat on with one neatly-gloved hand and did what he could to keep up.
