"I'm glad to see you, Lester," she said. "George will take your things up-stairs. Come up into my room. It's more comfy. How are grandpa and Louise?" He followed her up the stairs, and Jennie, who had been standing at the head of the stairs listening, felt the magnetic charm of his personality. It seemed, why she could hardly say, that a real personage had arrived. The house was cheerier.
Homely, cheerier sounds broke the outlined grandeur of the morning, on which Margaret looked wearily. Lois lost none of them; no morbid shadow of her own balked life kept their meaning from her. The light played on the heaped vegetables in the old cart; the bony legs of the donkey trotted on with fresh vigor.

Strange that a neighbourhood so weird should have exercised only a wholesome influence on the character of the people! As far as we can judge, no franker, cheerier, more straightforward folks are to be found in France, to say nothing of that little fact of white assizes, so creditable to the department.
"We had n't seen each other in ten years not since I went up to Indianapolis to have my last talk with him. Did he get any cheerier before he went?" "No." "Just the same, huh? Always waiting?" "Afraid of every step on the veranda, of every knock at the door." Again the attorney stared out of the window. "And you?" "I?" Fairchild leaned forward in his chair. "I don't understand." "Are you afraid?"
Fairbairn, Coates, Porter, and Crossfield are there, and Bloomfield and Riddell, and the two Wyndhams, and assuredly a cheerier party never sat down in Willoughby. "I never expected to find you a Welcher," says old Wyndham to the captain. "No? A fellow's sure to find his level, you see, some day," replied Riddell, laughing.
Bob Pierson, then, paced the room, so absorbed in his dismay and concern, that he was almost happy. "By Jove!" he said, "what a ghastly thing! "Nollie, of all people! I feel perfectly wretched, Thirza; wretched beyond words." But with each repetition his voice grew cheerier, and Thirza felt that he was already over the worst. "Your coffee's getting cold!" she said. "What do you advise?
But then the wish itself to escape from his bad feelings had impelled him forth toward the spot glowing warmer and cheerier in his thoughts than any other, where, if he could forget how ill he felt, he would naturally feel better. Aurora's house during the days of painting the first portrait had come to feel remarkably like home to him.
He had not seen him for some years, but, going by his recollections of him at the University, he had expected something cheerier than this. In fact, he had rather been relying on Eustace to be the life and soul of the party. The man sitting on the bag before him could hardly have filled that role at a gathering of Russian novelists. "What on earth's the matter?" said Sam. "The matter?"
Alice listened, sighed, and, breathing the words, "Oh, murder!" turned to cheerier matters. She put on a little apple-green turban with a dim gold band round it, and then, having shrouded the turban in a white veil, which she kept pushed up above her forehead, she got herself into a tan coat of soft cloth fashioned with rakish severity.
