You have the family face." Now Jurgen considered the lineaments of King Smoit of Glathion. "Really," said Jurgen, "of course it is very flattering to be told that your appearance is regal. I do not at all know what to say in reply to the implied compliment, without seeming uncivil. I would never for a moment question that you were much admired in your day, sir, and no doubt very justly so.
I remember we thought him too gentle at first to have really hailed from the Plains; but one night, when Hamilton remonstrated with a man who, I believe, had allowed himself to get in that state described by the sailors as 'three sheets in the wind, and the fourth fluttering, and was met with rather an uncivil reply, the Texan shut the offender up like a jack-knife with his heavy grip and the intimation that 'he proposed to settle the Bible-man's scores.
"You also expect to do everything in your power to interest the administration at Washington in his behalf." "Well, of all the Oh, I say, Countess, you don't believe a word of all this, do you?" She regarded me pensively. "You have said some very mean, uncivil things to me."
"If you could tell her anything especially splendid about her position at the Coronation next year, should she accept the Duke, I am sure it would have an effect." "Cordelia is behaving like a fool about it. She asked them here, and made all the arrangements, and now is absolutely uncivil to them." "How flattered Lord Luffton ought to be!" I laughed.

The boy shifted on his bare feet. In the old-timed setting of the furniture he was an alien an anachronism the intrusion of the hopelessly modern into the helplessly past.
At Ganserndorf, twenty-five miles from Vienna, they took our papers from us in a very uncivil, uncourteous manner. On the 4th of October, 1845, after an absence of six months, I arrived again in sight of the dear Stephen's steeple, as most of my countrywomen would say.
