There is too much reason to believe, from the pains which have been taken before, at, and since the advice of the Senate respecting the treaty, that the prejudices against it are more extensive than is generally imagined. This I have lately understood to be the case in this quarter from men who are of no party, but well-disposed to the present administration.
And all three eyed one another in friendly, well-disposed fashion.

Leif's eyes challenged him, but he did not recant. "So!" said the chief abruptly; then he added: "I am told for certain that his wife is a well-disposed woman."
