'The appraiser valued them at four hundred and thirty-five pounds three and sixpence when father died. We have added to them since, but we will reckon them at that. How much does that make with the value of the stock? 'Two thousand one hundred and seventy-six pounds, sixteen shillings and eightpence, said Philip.
While he was in my salon his eyes twice took an inventory of its contents, and that with a rapidity which would have done credit to a practised appraiser. It was then, especially, that he had the air of a fox. "Nor is this all. I read the other day the story of a princess who was travelling over the world, and asked hospitality, one evening, at the door of a palace.
I am asked to jot down a few autobiographic odds and ends from such data of record and memory as I may retain. I have been something of a student of life; an observer of men and women and affairs; an appraiser of their character, their conduct, and, on occasion, of their motives.

During the remainder of that day he scanned the ornaments of every lady he met with the profoundly experienced eye of an appraiser. Next morning Knight was again crossing St. George's Channel not returning to London by the Holyhead route as he had originally intended, but towards Bristol availing himself of Mr. and Mrs. Swancourt's invitation to revisit them on his homeward journey.
She took him in from head to foot with the eye of an appraiser, and the more she took him in the more she melted, until at last in order to keep from completely dissolving, she said good- bye to him and hurried off to find Miss Guile. Now it is necessary to relate that Miss Guile had been particularly firm in her commands to Mrs. Gaston.
