More carefully "taking stock" of her, it was accepted she had three good points, dark, serious eyes, a trim but somewhat thin figure, and well-kept hands and feet.
It lent those declivities on which it grew a spacious, well-kept, park appearance, on which Bob exclaimed with delight. But Welton would have none of it. "Bear clover," said he, "full of pitch as an old jack-pine. Burns like coal oil, and you can't hardly cut it with a hoe. Worst stuff to carry fire and to fight fire in you ever saw. Pick a piece and smell it."
Grooms are early risers in a well-kept stable. There is always something to be done, involving pails, or straps, or cloths, or barrows, or brushes, even at five in the morning in July.
You not know dat our great countryman General Badian-Powell arrive to-day, so we all go welcome him." Charles Kingsley in At Last goes into rhapsodies over the "High Woods" of Trinidad. I confess that I was terribly disappointed in them. They are too trim and well-kept; the Forestry department has done its work too well.
The whole of the family, the lemon-shaped citron excepted, is noted for the beauty and symmetry of growth that its trees make, and I know of few more beautiful sights in the vegetable world than a well-kept citrus grove in full bearing.

There was a lofty expression in the eyes, too, and round the mouth, which further appealed to him; and the hands of the lady were perfect they were white, somewhat long, with tapering fingers and well-kept nails. There was one signet ring on the left hand, worn as a guard to the wedding-ring that was all. Mr. Cardew was a keen observer, and he noted these things at a glance.
The owner of colored slaves pointed to his well-fed and well-clothed and happy people, merry in their cabins, and made a claim that was equally plausible; that these people are far better off and far happier than they could be in freedom. Their well-kept, happy, care-free condition did not make them freemen. They were slaves, though they may have been happy.
These English pigs with their contemptible army will make good time to the Indian Ocean."
