"Did you ever hear of such a thing?" asked Lady Bird afterward of Lady Green. "As if my child could not write!" It was just so all day. The only thing Isabel seemed to enjoy was dining in state with Grandmamma, and answering all her questions with the air of a little grown-up woman. Grandmamma said she was a very well-behaved child, and she wished Charlotte would take pattern by her.
This calm courage generally has its reward, and in the year 1842, not very long before the death of my grandfather at Shoxford, Mr. Herbert Castlewood, being well-connected, well-behaved, diligent, and pleasing, obtained a partnership in the firm, which was, perhaps, the foremost in the west of England.
I see him still as he arrived, on a stretcher full of little pebbles, with his mud be-plastered coat, and his handsome, honest face, like that of a well-behaved child. "You must excuse me," he said; "we can't keep ourselves very clean." "Have you any lice?" asks the orderly, as he undresses him. Mouchon flushes and looks uneasy. "Well, if I have, they don't really belong to me."
At last, one night it was Midsummer night he awoke, because the clock in the sitting-room struck thirteen. There was something uncanny about this, firstly, because thirteen is an unlucky number, and secondly, because no well-behaved clock can strike thirteen. He did not fall asleep again, but he lay in his bed, listening.
But I'm hanged if I can understand why Fritz is so horribly quiet and well-behaved." "That's what we'd all like to know," added the sergeant.

Shortly afterwards a party of villagers were collected and set to work to bury the bodies of those who had fallen in the futile assault.
Many a time the earl himself had dined, merrily and heartily, at that simple table, with the mistress active, energetic, cheerful, and refined sitting at the head of it, and the children, a girl and boy, already admitted to take their place there, quiet and well-behaved brought up from the first to be, like their parents, gentlemen and gentlewomen.
"I know the child well," said one of them, "I often see her about, a well-behaved little lady, but full o' fun, too. D'ye think she might have been kidnapped, now?" "It might be," said Mr. Bryant, "though she's pretty big for that. And, too, she took extra money with her." "Then she may have been goin' somewhere by rail." "That's so! I never thought of that!" and Cousin Jack almost smiled.
The married gentlemen were unusually thirsty, which they attributed to the heat of the weather; the little boys ate to inconvenience; mammas were very jovial, and their daughters very fascinating; and the attendants being well-behaved men, got exceedingly drunk at a respectful distance. We had our eye on Mr.

"Strong words don't accomplish much." "How's it going with your peaceable revolution?" asked Morten with a twinkle in his eye. "Do you see any progress in the work?" "Oh, yes, it's slow but sure.
If they did, I shall go in and scold them hard!" "What is it to you?" "People who don't answer aren't well-behaved." "Oh, hold your row!"
