Surrounded by fields of tobacco and maize, it is neatly laid out, and presents a cheerful appearance, the buildings being of white stone, instead of the everlasting baked mud and clay. Many of the courtyards were surrounded by date palms, and the people seemed more civilized and prosperous-looking than those in the villages north of Shiráz.
In the morning he had left it, smiling in the autumn sunshine, a peaceful, prosperous-looking place, homely, quaint, and bright. Now his eyes rested upon a heap of smoking ruins, trampled crops, empty sheds; and upon a still more horrible sight the remains of mangled corpses tied to the group of trees which sheltered the porch.
We stopped for tiffin at Fu-ming-hsien, a prosperous-looking town of some eight hundred families. As usual, I lunched in public, the crowd pressing close about my table in spite of the efforts of a real, khaki-clad policeman; but it was a jolly, friendly crowd, its interest easily diverted from me to the dog. Here we changed soldiers, for this was a hsien town, or district centre.
Some sort of kiln. Prosperous-looking country..." The respectability of the country's appearance awakened answering chords in his nature. "Make myself a bit ship-shape first," he said. He threw out a bag of ballast, and was astonished to find himself careering up through the air very rapidly. "Blow!" said Mr. Smallways.
At the farther end they were met by the three boys and by three nice-looking ladies, each prosperous-looking and well dressed, and each bearing a very anxious expression of countenance. "I tell you it's absolutely absurd, Richard," began one of these, as they approached "your putting such notions into the heads of these boys."

It lacked a quarter of an hour of the time of the opening of the Exchange; and a stream of prosperous-looking men were pouring in from all the cars and ferries to their offices. "Where are your brokers?" Montague inquired. "I don't have any brokers at least not for a matter such as this," said Oliver. And he stopped in front of one of the big buildings.
"I stay here whole week. You no remember? I Emilio Emilio Foresi." Now, indeed, we remembered the little image peddlers. "Yes, yes, yes!" the old Squire cried. "Well, I never! Can it be possible?" grandmother Ruth exclaimed. "Why, you've grown up, of course!" Grown up, in good truth, and a very prosperous-looking young man was Emilio.
The prosperous-looking town, with its large square houses, its suburban cottages and gardens, on the slope of a long green hill, crowned with woods, was wholly Swiss in its appearance, but the luminous morning vapors hovering around the Alpine peaks in the east, entirely hid them from our view.
After writing last, we drove out, on Sunday afternoon, to a deep alpine valley, to see a NEW BRIDGE a great marvel apparently. The old Spanish Joe Miller about selling the bridge to buy water occurred to me, and made Sabaal laugh immensely. The Dutch farmers were tearing home from Kerk, in their carts well-dressed, prosperous-looking folks, with capital horses.
