The
more
genteel
and
the
richer
you
are,
the
later
you
eat
your
meals.

It
will
be
a
very
light,
genteel
sort
o'
place,
and
you'll
have
a
right
good
time
there,
Alison.
"Good Luck" by L. T. Meade

On
the
contrary,
the
head,
with
its
black
curly
hair,
and
the
nice
Sunday
suit
of
clothes,
gave
the
lad
a
very
genteel
appearance;
and
his
delicate
features
and
earnest
eyes
bore
unmistakable
evidence
to
something
noble
in
his
character,
and
any
one
who
looked
at
him
once
was
certain
to
repeat
the
glance
with
pleasure.
