We see true sportsmen beside ordinary gunners, game-hogs and meat hunters; handsome setter dogs are mixed up with coyotes, cats, foxes and skunks; and well-gowned women and ladies' maids are jostled by half-naked "poor-white" and black-negro "plume hunters." Verily, the destruction of wild life makes strange companions.
There are no rumours about your father. He has kept the laws of God and of man. He has never made any mistakes." Harold got up from his chair and poked the fire. Then he came back to the ample, well-gowned, firm-looking lady, and sat beside her on the sofa.
Colour was coming back to it again, a murky colour like the shadow of a red cloud. They must have wondered, in the coach with her, at the change in the calm, unobtrusive, well-gowned gentlewoman, their fellow-passenger. Those that were left after another two hours saw her get down at a barren station where an old man waited in a carriage.
He remembered Brissenden's warning and laughed again. The women would never destroy him, that much was certain. He had gone past that stage.

She had everything that money could buy. But her money seemed unable to buy the frown from her face. "Mr. Lecture Man," she said, "why is everybody interested in my daughter and nobody interested in me?
But how do I know whether it's a slander?" "You actually think it might conceivably be true?" She shrugged her well-gowned shoulders. "I never could stand Malcolm Cromarty a conceited little jackanapes. He hasn't a penny and he was head over ears in debt." It was his turn to start. "Was he?" "Oh, rather! Didn't you know? Owed money everywhere." "But such a crime as that!"
There is an excellent term for this, which, though borrowed from the stable, carries with it only sweet and wholesome suggestions. It is "well-groomed." A well-groomed woman is not only a well-gowned woman, but one who, like a favorite mare, is always spick and span in her person, and happy in her quiet consciousness of it.
