The report he gave about the child was very satisfactory; the mother was in the isolation ward. "Can she be seen?" "Yes, madame," said the urbane Frenchman in charge. "You understand, you will not be able to get near her? It will be rather like interviewing a prisoner, for she will be behind one set of bars and you behind another."
Oh, I see: putting 'The' to the front of it, and 'Co. to the back. That ladder looks rather shaky. The Marshall & Belden Co. Perhaps it would be civil of me to call on the new concern seeing that I have chanced their way." Truesdale picked his way choicely through the office, with the urbane affectation of never having seen the place before.
Dyck Calhoun's letter was never ended. It was only a relic of the years spent in Jamaica, only a sign of his well-being, though it gave no real picture of himself. He did not know how like a tyrant he had become in some small ways, while in the large things he remained generous, urbane, and resourceful.
"I came up to see if you were ready; but please send me off if I'm not wanted." His look, his voice, the simple sense of his presence, restored Anna's shaken balance.

With unruffled amiability, amused, urbane, Lanyard bowed his petition across the table, and was rewarded by a bright nod of promise.
The boys were all on the broad grin; Westby’s manner was so expansively courteous, his compliments were so absurdly urbane, that Irving threw off his air of coldness and adopted a jaunty manner of reply which was even more misleading. “Oh, well, if you’ve been so clever as to guess it, Westby,” he said, “I don’t mind telling you—it’s my brother.”
