"By the Lord Harry!" he muttered, "if she isn't the gamiest bit of flesh and blood that I've seen in a long time! She's worth looking after." Since his eye and restraining presence, however, were now absent from the store, there would have been no small tumult at the ribbon counter had not Belle by her straight-forward, fearless manner brought things to a speedy issue.
'I'll give you double what he offers, cried Mrs Ford. Sam held up his hand, his old pontifical manner intensified by the white wig. 'May I speak? Thank you. This is a little embarrassing. When I asked you both to meet me here, it was not for the purpose of holding an auction. I had a straight-forward business proposition to make to you.
He knocked seven times with his hand; a servant appeared, took Amram by the arm and led him in. A young priest tied a bandage round his eyes, and, after they had searched his bag, they took the cabinet-maker by the hand, and led him into the temple. Sometimes they went up steps, sometimes down them, sometimes straight-forward.
Had the service been on land, this opinion might possibly have had more practical truth in it; but, the impetuosity and daring of Sir Gervaise, were not bad substitutes for tactics, in the straight-forward combats of ships. To resume the narrative.
Furthermore, there was the question as to whether Cousin Julia, in any event, would value satisfaction secured thus by indirection? Absolutely straight-forward, as she was, mightn't she judge their action severely, label it plain deceit, and oh, no! she couldn't refuse to have anything further to do with her!

Make the heart clean, and give the head employment, and I will venture to predict that there will be nothing offensive in the behaviour.
Gunton-Cresswell, looking rather wry, was taking cover in his study when I arrived. Mrs. Gunton-Cresswell was in the drawing-room. Before Eva came down I got a word alone with her. "I've had a nice, straight-forward letter from James," she said, "and he has done all he can to put things straight with us." "Ah!" said I. "That telegram, he tells me, was the outcome of a sudden panic." "Dear me!"
He has a straight-forward, pleasant manner with him, and is altogether superior to an ordinary crofter. It would be a good match for Christian. Poor soul! She deserves a better lot than she enjoys at present." "What's his age, do you suppose?" "Forty-six. Quite a lad, for these parts!" "Things look all right, certainly," was my summing up.
Conscience gazed pensively away beyond the hillside, where the heat waves played, to the cool blue of the cove. Her manner impressed him as preoccupied. "It has beauty, I think, and in some respects a true psychology. It recognizes that even straight-forward sin may be less ugly than hypocritical virtue."
Mary Wallace manifested no concern, however, but gave "Mr. Francis Fordham." "Ay, Frank Fordham, with all my heart," cried Herman Mordaunt. "I hope he will return to his native country as straight-forward, honest, and good as he left it." "Mr. Fordham is then abroad?" inquired Bulstrode. "I thought the name new to me." "If being at home can be called being abroad. He is reading law at the Temple."
