She turned and doubled and dodged successfully. By a course circuitous she returned to Hebrew haunts, this time to seek, one Abram Canter, a little wizened, gnome-like Jew. Assuring herself that there was no other than the proprietor within, Amarilly entered and handed over the surplice for appraisal. Once more the garment was held aloft.
If a man is capable of becoming wise, he will gradually be able to infer from this increasing mass of personal experience, the extent to which or the conditions under which he is capable of realizing his purpose; and his insight into the particular realities of his own life will bring with it some kind of a general philosophy some sort of a disposition and method of appraisal of men, their actions, and their surroundings.
If a man has no connection with those in authority, or cannot obtain powerful intercession, or is unable to give heavy bribes, his property is valued at perhaps five per cent, or is set at so low a figure as to make the appraisal differ little from downright robbery.
She did not abate that look of quizzical appraisal. And again Gavin Brice began to feel uncomfortable under her scrutiny. "You have an orange grove, back yonder, haven't you?" he asked, abruptly, nodding toward a landward stretch of ground shut off from the lawn by a thickset hedge of oleander.

The detective had completed his second and more detailed search of the guest-rooms in time to hear the words and study the face of the last witness on Dr. Garnet's list. That was Eugene Russell. "One of life's persimmons long before frost!" Hastings thought, making swift appraisal. "A boneless spine chin like a sheep brave as a lamb." Russell could not conceal his agitation.
"My Gawd!" burst forth Hunch despairingly, adding in heartfelt memory of his host's enviable steadiness of head, "My Gawd, Carl, what a waste o' talents!" Carl laughed. "Sit down," he invited, "and get it off your mind." But Hunch's single eye was wandering in fascinated appraisal over Carl's dark, pleasant face.
