An interesting child, and so well-mannered, too," remarked Jackman. "Humph! Nae doot she is. They do say that it's because my brither has gotten an English wife. But for my pairt, oor weemen seem to me to be as weel mainered as the weemen sooth o' the Tweed." "Quite as well, I doubt not; though I have not seen much of your countrywomen, Ian.
She was a woman who had no friends; and the very female who had first appeared as a friend was now the readiest to say hard things of her. And Caldigate was a handsome well-mannered young man. By this time all the ladies in the first-class knew very well who he was, and some of them had spoken to him.
I know not how to utter what impression you give me; take the above as some stamping of the fore-hoof." A curious way of characterizing himself as a critic, but he was not always as well-mannered as the Houyhnhnms.
He was good-tempered, well-mannered, sprightly in conversation, and had not a scruple in the world. He was over seventy, had lived hard, and must have known that there was not much more of it for him. But yet he had no qualms, and no fears. It may be doubted whether he knew that he was a bad man, he, than whom you could find none worse though you were to search the country from one end to another.

There he was, as well shaven, as threadbare, as jaunty and well-mannered, as in the old days when we used to play the siege of Troy, using an old packing-case for the wooden horse, and he was our Trojan victim.
At one moment the prim, well-mannered English girl; the next, an impulsive, emotional daughter of the Far East. When she grew to woman's estate, which of the races would predominate? Meanwhile, as Rosetta lay prone and kicking upon the dhurri, her father murmured apologetically: "When the lassie is a bit over-fired and excited, she doesn't know what she is saying."
He was a very nice-looking boy, and otherwise not unintelligent; certainly he was well-mannered, as nice-looking English boys are apt to be with their elders; perhaps he had heard too much of the Pilgrims, and had purposely forgotten them.
I suppose your slave-girl will not pry too closely?" "You can safely leave them with me. If you tell her not to look at them she will close her eyes every time she passes the jars." Meanwhile Patrona had closed his booth and invited his guest to accompany him homewards.
