"If people want people to like them, they must be likeable. They must be obliging and kind and pleasant, and not small and spiteful." "You haven't been very nice to me," muttered Hester. "We haven't had a chance. And before we get a chance you upset everything by making us dislike you! What kind of common sense is that?" "Maybe you could forgive me," suggested Hester, hopefully.
Stenographers who had been receiving a hundred dollars a month could not readily bring themselves to accept fifty, and some of them had to make way for new girls, fresh from the business colleges. Such a new girl was Gladys Wardin; pretty, likeable, inexperienced.
He splashed into the water of the dak-bungalow, and then introduced himself. We sat in teakwood easy-chairs and talked all day. He was a most interesting, likeable, and cordial man, at any stage of the game. The game, by means of French vermouth of all drinks! progressed steadily. We could hardly blame him for celebrating. By the afternoon he wanted to give things away.
When her sister had married him, she had wondered what on earth she saw in Harry Edgham; now he seemed to her a very likeable man. When Maria sat in school that morning, her aunt's pompadour diverted her mind from her book; then she caught Gladys Mann's wondering eyes upon her, and she studied again.
"Suppose you knew folks and they weren't exactly friends, but pleasant, you know, and all that, and you were aware that they went about sayin' things about a third person who also wasn't exactly a friend, but ... well, likeable; and you believed that what the first lot said gave a wrong impression ... in short, was very damaging none of it any business of yours, mind would you feel called upon to do anything?"
The varieties of friendship follow these three modes of the likeable. The friendships for the useful and the pleasant, are not disinterested, but self-seeking; they are therefore accidental and transitory; they do not involve intimate and frequent association. Friendship for the good, and between the virtuous, is alone perfect; it is formed slowly, and has the requisites of permanence.
As, for instance, in that case of the assistant. Renouard had given way to the arguments of his friend and backer the argument against the unwholesome effect of solitude, the argument for the safety of companionship even if quarrelsome. Very well. In this docility he was sensible and even likeable. But what did he do next?
"What," said he; "were you wandering about with that girl for? Answer me that. They told me you were off after the soldiers, and I came up here hoping it true. It would have been the daft but likeable cantrip I should have forgiven in any boy of mine; it would have shown some sign of a sogerly emprise. And here you are, with a lass wandering! Where were you?" Gilian explained.
"I fancy my son isn't going into the business of tracking down criminals permanently," Burton, Senior, retorted a bit stiffly. "Like enough not," came tartly from Corrigan. "Still, he can keep his peepers open, eh, youngster?" He smiled down upon Christopher from beneath his shaggy brows, and Christopher smiled back. There was something very likeable about Corrigan.
He was no doubt a rackety, irresponsible young fellow according to old standards, yet somehow likeable, with his extraordinarily cheerful way of blurting out his opinions. "Come in," he said; "have you had tea?" Mont came in. "I thought Fleur would have been back, sir; but I'm glad she isn't. The fact is, I I'm fearfully gone on her; so fearfully gone that I thought you'd better know.
