I stole a sidelong look at the Honourable Arthur. He and Willie Beresford speak the same language, but they are as different as Malay and Eskimo. He is an extreme type, but he is very likeable and very well worth looking at, with his long coat, his silk hat, and the white Malmaison in his buttonhole.
Ainslee, that you met the handsomest and most likeable chap on earth in Yokohama if you remember," she reminded him icily. "Yes, of course I remember. But I have come to believe that I was somewhat mistaken in that boy in Yokohama. He lacked something that this chap has an elusive quality that is hard to put a name to but which is one of the big essentials that makes for success."
Nan's father, walking home with her through the quiet streets, stopped to light a cigar. When it was burning properly he remarked innocently to his daughter: "I don't know when I've met so unusually good-looking and likeable a fellow as this minister chap, Knight." Nan looked at her father with cold and suspicious eyes and her voice when she answered was scornful. "You thought, Mr.
"John" proved to be a good-looking young man, not extraordinary in any way, but with a likeable open face and square young shoulders that Libbie, who startled them all by turning poetical late that night, declared were "built for manly burdens." Louise, Esther and Bobby were the last to squeeze into the car, Libbie, the prudent, having ducked earlier.
Alice, following quietly, accepted Billy Gray, journalist a clever reporter with no possibilities beyond that; a gentleman, it is true, and a man of likeable disposition, but on the whole the least desirable of all her followers. Billy and Alice Gray lived out the three years which were all they ever had of matrimony, in a Latin quarter garret, transformed into a studio.
The man, who had only known her a few weeks, could go no further yet, and he was eminently likeable, but she would not lead him on. "That," she said, "was very nice of you, but you will soon get used to the change." "You may," he replied with rather bitter humour. "After all," said Millicent, "one meets pleasant people here and there, and though one regrets it has to part from them."
Whether pure redskin or breed it was impossible for them to tell; certainly there was no visible evidence of a white admixture; but in spite of his strange and savage air, there was something instantly likeable about the young man according to Natalie he was the first native they had met who seemed human. He rode a fine black horse as bravely accoutred as would become the captain of a round-up.
If you tell a boy that one reason why food is wholesome is because we like it, and that it is therefore our duty to like that food which other facts of our nature have made both wholesome and likeable, you may find yourself stimulating nothing except his sense of humour. British Medical Journal, Oct. 8, 1904.
It struck Banneker that he had probably been drinking a good deal, also that he was a very likeable person, indeed. "If you don't mind my asking, where the devil did you learn to shoot like that?" "Oh, out West where I came from. I used to practice on the pine trees at a little water-tank station called Manzanita". "Manzanita!" repeated the other. "By God!"
They all have the magnetism of force, which is quite another thing from the magnetism of charm. What the public demands is that they shall win victories, whether personally likeable or not. But if they are likeable and simple and human and a sailor besides well, we know what that means. Perhaps Sir John Jellicoe is not a great man. It is not for a civilian even to presume to judge.
