It wasn't jest her looks, for she always was as pretty as a picture, but she was as nice-mannered, well-behaved a gyirl as you'd want to see. There was jest as much difference betwixt her then and what she used to be as there is betwixt a tame fox and a wild one.
"I must tell you, sir, who our Elsie was," said her ladyship, who had caught and did not like the word "friend." "She had been my maid; but we found her so conscientious, nice-mannered, and well-informed, that she almost occupied the position of nursery governess to the younger children.
'Certainly, my good girl, she said, 'and take a glass and some cakes for yourself too. That is a nice-mannered girl, she added to Jacinth and Frances. 'She is both modest and sensible. 'Yes, said Jacinth, 'we like her very much. Aunt Alison got her for us before we came here. Lady Myrtle's face grew grave. 'Is Aunt Alison the relation you live with? she asked. 'Is her name Mrs Alison?
She had seen the Treasure many times before, but it was while spending a day in November with her sister that she first expressed her disapproval of Justine. "You spoil her, Sarah," said Mrs. Otis. "She's a splendid cook, of course, and a nice-mannered girl. But you spoil her." "I? I have nothing to do with it," Mrs. Salisbury asserted promptly.

"I supposed so, but he didn't come into the smoking-room when he got back. Went straight to bed, I expect. He's a nice-mannered young fellow, isn't he?" "Oh, very!" said Mrs. Mortimer.

Of all the nice-mannered, soft-spoken landladies I've ever seen, she was the best, and on'y to 'ear the way she answered her 'usband when he spoke to 'er was a pleasure to every married man in the bar. Mr. John Blows stood listening to the foreman with an air of lofty disdain.
Rounding the corner of the back walk with the perambulator, she collided with the grocer-boy. He was a nice-mannered boy, picking up the Anthology and Baby's doll from the ground, and handing them to her with a charming smile. Besides, he had very bright, sparkling eyes. Missy fancied he must be some lost Prince, and inwardly resolved to make up, as soon as alone, a story to this effect.
It was all the more amazing that her husband should have lost such a great sum in reckless gambling, seeing that those who remember him say he was a nice-mannered gentleman of the old type, devoted to his wife, and with a passion for cultivating orchids. Again, why should Mrs. Marchbanks's bankers and guardians allow her to be ruined by a thoughtless fool?"
