He wore a suit of Western clothes as a military man wears mufti, if not awkwardly, yet with a manner not wholly natural the coat too tight across the chest, too short in the body. However, the man was handsome and unusual in his leopard way, with his brown curling hair and well-cared-for moustache. It was Jethro Fawe.
The struggle seemed to have narrowed to an individual, contest for supremacy between Fentress and the judge. On the edge of the railed off space they confronted each other: the colonel, a tall, well-cared-for presence; the judge shabby and unkempt. For a moment their eyes met, while the judge's face purpled and paled, and purpled again. The silence deepened.
Don Marcelo noted, too, the short and well-cared-for beard, very different from the one he had seen in the trenches. The boy was coming home, groomed and polished from his recent stay in the hospital. "Isn't it true that he looks like me?" queried the old man proudly. Dona Luisa responded with the inconsequence that mothers always show in matters of resemblance.
And on the few occasions in the year that Barbara visited the boy it was not so easy for her to come now that the Veyergangs lived in their country house all the year round she could see for herself how well-cared-for and clean he was, and how strictly he was kept.
He had the healthy, well-cared-for appearance of a country-dweller who has been turned into a town dandy without suffering in the process.
The man across the table was little more than a boy an amazingly handsome, astonishingly impudent, cockily confident boy, who was staring with insolent approval at Emma McChesney's trim, shirt-waisted figure, and her fresh, attractive coloring, and her well-cared-for hair beneath the smart summer hat.

Gavin's mind, ever taught to dissect trifles, noted that in spite of his yachtsman-garb the stranger's face was untanned, and that his long slender hands with their supersensitive fingers were as white and well-cared-for as a woman's.
It must be said, however, that there is less verdure here than in well-cared-for eastern towns of corresponding size, and that Los Angeles, and even Pasadena, notwithstanding their many palm trees, have on the whole a bare appearance, compared with a city like New Haven, with its majestic elms and robe of vivid green, which even in autumn seems to dream of summer bloom.
Chester looked again at the post-card he had addressed to Kildare Villa, placed it aside, and wrote in its place a long letter. Twenty miles out of London. The sun is shining, and the train glides along by green fields, hedges of hawthorn, and blossoming trees. England looks to be the huge, well-cared-for farm of a very rich man.
