Its shamans and human sacrifice cults are broadly drawn, and the game contains only slight nods toward the pervasive colonialism of turn-of-the-century adventure pulp: you buy armor from a genteel explorer with a British accent, and one of the antagonists is a conquistador-like treasure-seeker who fights with a cannon and a hunting rifle.

Like Miss Brodie (or like Maggie Smith's impersonation, in the 1969 movie), my mother had a genteel Anglo-Scots accent, taught at a private girls' school, was forceful and opinionated, had firm ideas about education, and was clearly a wonderful presence in the classroom, filling the girls' heads with strange stories, historical gossip, unusual dates, nice prejudices, delicious facts.

"A Slight Ache" precedes "The Dumb Waiter" and posits its own man of mystery in the never-seen Barnabas, an aging match seller who nonetheless comes to impinge mightily on the frayed marriage of the crisply accented Edward (the excellent John Heffernan, careering from heartiness to hysteria) and the genteel — or maybe not — Flora (Gemma Whelan).

McConnell faces pressure to bring Senate back for gun legislation Criminal justice reform should extend to student financial aid MORE's (R-Tenn.) decision to retire when his term ends in 6900 marks what could be the end of a genteel era of politics that is increasingly subsumed by more conservative elements within the Republican Party — both in Tennessee and across the country.
In 'Boo', one of the show's most endearing tributes to old Hollywood favorites, the comedian Eddie Bracken and the character actress Evelyn Keyes star as Nelson and Evelyn Chumsky, two genteel ghosts who first haunt and then try to coexist with the garish young couple that just moved into the Chumsky family home: Sheena (Wendy Schaal), a clueless porn star, and Tony (Robert Picardo), her shameless manager.
We members of the New York herd, it seems, are also integers in the show's damning moral equation.) The political attitudes of the characters, embodied with unnerving intensity and discipline by the cast, cover a range of viewpoints: Joachim's aristocratic disdain; the eagerness to cooperate of his brutish son Konstantin (Denis Podalydès); the moral horror of the firm's vice-president, Herbert Thallman (Loïc Corbery) and his genteel wife, Elisabeth (Adeline d'Hermy).
Debbie, the blonde bombshell with a notable soap opera credit on her resumé and a gleaming house in the suburbs—who waltzed onto GLOW's set smug in her casting as its leading lady (and none too disappointed that her privileged status would rankle with Ruth)—has never considered that some of her castmates, particularly a working class, single mother like Tammé, have not always had the chance to do more genteel work.
It has been a long time since anyone mistook him for anything but that, and it is tempting to imagine a world in which the response to him was salutary neglect, and the world turned and left him to plod through icy penthouses, improperly advance his lie in endless Florida golf games against his rancid divorce-collecting peers, leave small tips on big checks, and engage in the more genteel forms of tax evasion.
To his students, he brought a world of genteel scholarship and quiet contemplation; a world whose modus operandi — by hand, with ink, on paper, parchment and vellum — was little changed for centuries; a world of classical music (an accomplished singer, he liked to ply his calligraphy to Beethoven), Gregorian chant and the Latin Mass, which he continued celebrating in discreet defiance long after Vatican II. Into that world burst a young college dropout named Steve Jobs.

Muay Thai, our Muay Thai, the Art of Eight Limbs, foundational element of mixed martial arts, sine qua non of the 21st century's most important athletic revolution, could very soon be in the Summer Olympics, on NBC no less, alongside the long jump and the 100-meter dash and the 50-meter backstroke and synchronized swimming and rhythmic gymnastics and, yes, even competitive cheerleading—all those gentle, genteel, sympathetic sports your parents fall in love with for exactly two weeks every four years and then promptly forget about.
Ms. Spencer never lost her soft Mississippi accent, although her literary voice might have been anyone's, as Michiko Kakutani of The Times noted in a review of the "Jack of Diamonds" stories: "Whether she takes the viewpoint of a teenage girl, a young newlywed or a middle-aged widow, her ability to capture their voices sympathetically is unerring and precise; and she conjures up, with equal ease, a variety of milieus, moving fluently from the genteel gardens of the South to the grimy streets of Montreal, from the rustic summer cabins of Lake George to the fairy-tale courtyards of Florence and Rome."
Though I cannot tell why it was exactly that my employer, Vox Media, put me down for this shabby part of a whale video, when others were set down for magnificent reports on high tragedies, and short and easy blog post on genteel YouTube celebrities, and jolly tweets with embedded GIFs —though I cannot tell why this was exactly; yet, now that I recall all the circumstances, I think I can see a little into the springs and motives which being cunningly presented to me under various disguises, induced me to set about performing the part I did, besides cajoling me into the delusion that it was a choice resulting from my own unbiased freewill and discriminating judgment.
