I should take him to be a gentleman; but he wasn't a pleasant person to speak to--rather stand-off-ish in his manners.

He wasn't the sort of man I should have chosen if I'd been a pretty young woman like Miss Nowell; but there's no accounting for taste, and she seemed uncommonly fond of him.

I never saw any one more agitated than she was when they were married.

She was crying in a quiet way all through the service, and when it was over she fainted dead-off.

I daresay it did seem hard to her to be married like that, without so much as a friend to give her away.
