Two members of that well-grown and well set-up corps are seated at a corner of the dresser, deeply engrossed in the intricacies of the mysterious game of forty-five, before which the mind of the dull Saxon remains bewildered in hopeless incapacity.
They thought that the whole swarm of people whom they had seen in the bright daylight were still moving around them; they were certain they still saw the same forms that had first caught their attention. A pretty Barbel, with spotted skin, and an enviably round back, declared that the "human fry" were still there. "I can see a well set-up human figure quite well," said the Barbel.
"Bad 'cess to the furriner!" said another voice as I passed down. "Comin' here wid his set-up ways, an' schornin' a bit of dhrink!" "An' if ye'd take patthern of him yerself " the woman's voice began, and was silenced by a push back into her room and the loud slam of the door.
The suggestion must be a clear one, for inside the person we must distinctly perceive, as though through a glass, a set-up mechanism. But the suggestion must also be a subtle one, for the general appearance of the person, whose every limb has been made rigid as a machine, must continue to give us the impression of a living being.
I suspect he suffered the shock of his placid life when he found Sam absent and the shop in the care of this spruce, well set-up young man. "Anything I can do for you?" chirped Duncan cheerfully, dropping off the counter as Sperry entered. "No-o; I just wanted to see old Sam. Is he upstairs?" "No, Mr. Graham's not in at present," Duncan told him civilly.
His eyes followed them until they disappeared around a corner. Down in his heart he hoped that Ruth would not deny him a fleeting look of encouragement and approval. Landover carried himself like a soldier. He was tall, well set-up, and almost offensively erect. He was a handsome man of perhaps forty-eight. His cleanshaven face was firm, aggressive, domineering.
Then there's The-most-beautiful-girl-in-the-ship, but she is not typical, and I think she goes farther East than India: she has chummed already with the best set-up man on board, so that's as it should be and what an occasion it is for chumming! I'd like to know what is the average number of engagements made and broken on these P. & O.'s per voyage.
Gallman allowed me to make an inspection of his Constabulary, their quarters and hospital. The men were as fine and as well set-up as those we saw at Kiangan. Everything was in immaculate condition, and ready for service.
"Now go and fetch the key." He belonged to the ancient family of Rákosy, who had owned property on both banks of the Maros for the past eight centuries, and Feri Rákosy, the twentieth-century representative of his mediæval forbears, was a good-looking young fellow of the type so often met with among the upper classes in Hungary: quite something English in appearance well set-up, well-dressed, well-groomed from the top of his smooth brown hair to the tips of his immaculately-shod feet in the eyes an expression of habitual boredom, further accentuated by the slight, affected stoop of the shoulders and a few premature lines round the nose and mouth; and about his whole personality that air of high-breeding and of good, pure blood which is one of the chief characteristics of the true Hungarian aristocracy.
As she turned away, a tall, fine-looking, well set-up, dark-haired, clean-cut, young chap, who had just rounded the news-stand, grabbed off his hat and greeted her with the glad smile of an old acquaintance. "Why, how do you do, Mrs. Cuthbert!" he exclaimed. "This is an unexpected pleasure, and most opportune." There was a slight stress on the last two words: the words of recognition.
