She looked cool and workman-like in a linen habit and white pith helmet Norah's Christmas present. "I hadn't these nice things to wear when Bob and I brought the sheep out from Cunjee three weeks ago; and it was just as hot, and so dusty. And that didn't kill me. I liked it, only I never got so dirty in my life." "Well, we shall only have a hot ride one way," said Norah philosophically.
They suddenly stopped; and then there was a low heavy clang, like the sound of a closing door made of iron, or of some other unusually strong material; then total silence, interrupted by another impatient cough from the workman-like footman.

I have seen it at work and it was a pleasure to watch its acrobatic dexterity, its unerring precision of touch.
"I beg your pardon, sir," said my friend, the workman-like footman; "but before these gentlemen say anything for themselves, I wish to explain, as they seem strangers to you, that I only let them in after I had heard them give the password. My instructions are to let anybody in on our side of the door if they can give the password.

It was at last become a compact, grammatical, dignified, and workman-like body of literature.
