That gentleman was a widower and a well-to-do and well-appearing man; and it would have been a long way for him to come just for some trifling rickets in a servant-girl. Being really in love, his imagination was in a very capering mood, and he began to fear that the doctor had come to court Mrs. Himes. "Asaph," he said, quickly, "that's a good offer I make you.
There was a young woman staying at the small boarding-house where I stopped place run by a man and his wife. Stranger had brought her there early in the summer. City people they told the folks they came from New York. They were young, well-appearing folks at least the girl was. The man had gone off and left her there, and she was going to have a child soon and was terribly ill.
Hats had not been heard of, and the great necessity which requires two or three new ones every spring and fall had not arisen. Yet I was reckoned a well-appearing girl, who dressed liberally.
"The Love-Talker. Old Cassie used to tell us about him, when I was an 'incurable. He's a faery youth who comes on May Eve in the guise of some well-appearing young man and beguiles a maid back with him into faeryland. He's a very ardent wooer so Cassie said and there's no maid living who can resist him." "Wish I'd had a course with him," muttered the House Surgeon under his breath.

Our horses were at a standstill on the highway, the chaise and the rest of the party a good mile behind us already. "Good Babache, was I not clever to get rid of him?" she said. "Very clever, Mademoiselle," I said. "But why should you choose to get rid of him? He is a well-appearing man, of great accomplishments, and good estate. Why were you so severe with him?" "Do you really wish to know why?"
The lama, a well-appearing, elderly man, seemed completely fitted out with wife and children and yurts and herds. He was plainly a person of substance, and the head of quite a settlement. The yurt where I was received was very spacious, and was furnished precisely as Huc described sixty years ago.
"The Grand Duchess was attired in a dress of similar material to that of her mother, only this was more tastefully arranged with blue silk and fringe, a belt of the same material as the dress, fastened by a large rosette, and a straw hat also trimmed with blue silk. "The Grand Duke Serge is quite young, and a well-appearing youth. He was dressed in a scarlet blouse and white pants.
The Sabbath is a charming institution to keep the heart right, when it is right. One day in seven, how reasonable! I think I'll go to church once a day often. I fancy it will go a great way towards making me a reformed man. To see multitudes of well-appearing people all joining in one reverend act. An exercise how worthy of a rational being!
