1 Mary became quite severe in her manner.
2 This was a bad beginning and Mary marched up to him with her stiff manner.
3 There was a queer mixture of crabbed tenderness and shrewd understanding in his manner.
4 But something troubled and awkward in her manner made Mistress Mary stare very hard at her.
5 She had a very pretty manner, too, and Mary has the most unattractive ways I ever saw in a child.
6 Robins are not like human beings; their muscles are always exercised from the first and so they develop themselves in a natural manner.
7 Perhaps if her mother had carried her pretty face and her pretty manners oftener into the nursery Mary might have learned some pretty ways too.
8 When Colin was on his sofa and the breakfast for two was put upon the table he made an announcement to the nurse in his most Rajah-like manner.
9 He seemed very fond of walking but he had a way of sitting or lying down for a while and then getting up in a disconcerting manner to begin again.
10 He had lived on a sort of desert island all his life and as he had been the king of it he had made his own manners and had had no one to compare himself with.
11 Mary had indeed been rather like him herself and since she had been at Misselthwaite had gradually discovered that her own manners had not been of the kind which is usual or popular.
12 If Mary Lennox had been a child who was ready to be amused she would perhaps have laughed at Martha's readiness to talk, but Mary only listened to her coldly and wondered at her freedom of manner.
13 He could only say that he was sure that the Eggs would never flap about in such a manner; but as the boy who could speak robin so fluently was doing the thing with them, birds could be quite sure that the actions were not of a dangerous nature.
14 And then forgetting his grandeur he fell to and stuffed himself with buns and drank milk out of the pail in copious draughts in the manner of any hungry little boy who had been taking unusual exercise and breathing in moorland air and whose breakfast was more than two hours behind him.
