"Why, Lady Babbie!" Julie protested. "It's not like you to talk so!" Barbara patted the hand that had been laid upon her knee, and laughed.
Falbe and anybody else who happened to be there at half-past one; tea in Mrs. Falbe's well-liked sitting-room at five, and dinner at eight. These meals Mrs. Falbe always breakfasted in her bedroom were served with quiet decorum. Apart from them, anybody who required anything consulted the cook personally.
If you learn to use the exclamations, it makes you interesting and well-liked. It gives the other fellow the chance to do the talking. Simplicissimus and that kind of thing are better than the dry, stilted German classics 'Ekkehard, 'Nathan der Weise' and all that discarded stuff.

Those from the Gold Coast are still more powerful in body, but are good-natured and well-liked by planters. The Ebros are less black than those already named, almost mulatto in complexion, and make favorite house servants.

Hope hardly ever talks about them, but I've seen their photographs, and of course I have often been told about them by Great-aunt Alison, and others and heard how they died.

But Madge had put up the 'prize-fighter's lass, by way of dolly defence, to cover her amazed confusion when the proposal of this well-liked gentleman to a girl such as she sounded churchy.
These walks with Krafft finally resulted in the institution of a fund which Keith raised and put into Krafft's hands for intelligent use. The effects were so interesting that Keith, thoroughly fascinated, began to pester his friends for positions for some of his proteges. As he was well-liked and in earnest, these efforts were taken good-humourediy.
Tertullian also writeth, that he who was to be excommunicate in the public assembly of the church, was, by the common consent of all, stricken with judgment, and that all the approven and well-liked elders had the precedence or direction of the rest of the church in these matters.
We knew that he had sailed and sailed, and had had his own ship, maybe two or three of them! Then too the Pinzons and the Prior of La Rabida answered for him. A lot of us almost belong to the Pinzons, having signed to fish and voyage for them, and the Prior is a well-liked man.
