And I remained behind, blithe as an angel and full of expectancy as a child on his birthday. When we went out she had dressed, and it was astonishing to see with what simple means she achieved an appearance of tasteful distinction. A round straw hat, a white standing collar, a well-tailored light gray suit, a lavender silk tie and she was a lady among the boorish and bourgeois women of her town.
He spoke urgently, though still in the low murmur both the cousins were using in order not to be overheard. Jack put a neat, highly polished boot on the desk of the sergeant of police. "Ever hear of a lady called Delilah?" he asked lightly. "What about her?" In Kirby's quiet eye there was a warning. The man-about-town shrugged his well-tailored shoulders. "They have a way, the ladies.
Looking again with some curiosity at his companion, Phoebus saw that he was not beyond fifty years of age, of a spare, lofty figure at least six feet four high sitting straight and graceful as an Indian, his clothes well-tailored, his countenance and features both stern and refined; every feature perfected, and all keen without being hard or angular and yet Jimmy did not like him.
The following day, clean-shaven and in his freshened clothes they were smart and well-tailored, though sober indeed compared with Barney's, and two years behind the style of which Barney's were the extreme expression Larry passed Maggie on the stairway with a smile, who gave him no smile in return, and started forth upon his quest.
She hated Miss Loder from the first.

A little man with chubby cheeks and steel-grey hair very neatly flattened against his skull, stood at the window rubbing his fat little white hands together and making a faint unctuous puffing with each breath. Andrews noticed that a white clerical collar enclosed the little man's pink neck, that starched cuffs peeped from under the well-tailored sleeves of his officer's uniform.
"May be that, Parson, but hit's easier to come up before the J.P. and pay off than to fight it through the circuit court." Siner pushed his way through the crowd. "How much do you want, Mr. Bobbs?" he asked briefly. The constable looked with reminiscent eyes at the tall, well-tailored negro.
A little group of Pueblo Indians, lonesomely picturesque in buck-skin and red blankets, with silver and turquoise rings and bracelets, were always seated before its doors, trying to sell fruit and pottery to well-tailored tourists.
There is no reason why he should never look chic; he has a slimmer figure than the bullfinch, for instance, who always manages to look so well-tailored.
