Gregory Kinnaird was well-favored physically, and bore the stamp of a military training. He was, she understood, captain of a rather famous regiment, and she liked his direct gaze, which did not detract from his easy suavity of manner. However, he appeared somewhat unusually diffident that evening.
"Well, I never liked Hillsborough folk much poor, mean-visaged tykes they be but now I do hate 'em. What, blow up a decent young man like you, and a well-favored, and hair like jet, and eyes in your head like sloes! But that's their ground of spite, I warrant me; the nasty, ugly, dirty dogs. Well, you may just snap your fingers at 'em all now.
They find fault with Luther's translation of the angel's address to Mary: "Du Holdselige," that is, Thou gracious one, or well-favored one. The Catholics demand that this term should be rendered "full of grace," because in their belief Mary is really the chief dispenser of grace.
Trevennick smoked, and Sally Trevennick, the old sailor's daughter, entertained the party and had a word for all. She was not young, and not well-favored, and unduly plump, but a sweet-hearted woman nevertheless, with a great love for the little children.
At this moment a full-grown figure filled up the threshold, and emerging from the shadow, presented to us the aspect of a stout, well-favored young woman. She dropped a courtesy, and then said, mincingly, "Oh, miss, you ought to have waited for me, and not alarmed the gentlefolks by running upstairs in that way!
"Maybe Lola'll like me, in spite of my not being well-favored, when she finds how much I think of her." As time passed, and Lola, with her arm in a sling, began to sit up and to creep about, there was little in her manner to show the wisdom of Jane's cheerful forecast. The girl was still and reserved, as if some ancient Aztec strain predominated in her over all others.
She pictured it as a dramatic scene of renunciation between the lovers, both satisfyingly well-favored for Miss Asenath's beauty was a tradition and the boy in the locket was undeniably good to look upon ; and her natural inclination to romance was aided by the reading of many old-fashioned novels of unbridled sentimentality.
Odd, too, for he had been married once, and Rose was not so long dead that he had forgotten the ways and likings of women; but he made no progress in his suit, and finally chose John Alden to urge it for him. John who divides with Mary Chilton the honor of being first to land on Plymouth Rock was a well-favored lad of twenty-two.
As I have gone so far as to put this down on paper, I, an old woman now, will put aside bashfulness and freely confess that both Ann and I were at that time well-favored and good to look upon. I was of the greater height and stouter build, while she was more slender and supple; and for gentle sweetness I have never seen her like.
And her father on his great brown horse he was no more a craftsman! In his councillor's robes bordered with fur, with the golden chain round his neck, his well-favored, grave, and manly countenance, and the long, flowing hair down to his shoulders, meseemed he might have been the head of some ancient and noble family.
