It had thawed during the night, and when I cast my eyes over the country from the threshold, it looked to me like an immense dirty grey rag, soiled with mud and rent to tatters. The horizon was shrouded in a curtain of fog, in which the oak-trees along the walk lugubriously extended their dark arms, like a row of spectres guarding the vast mass of vapour spreading out behind them.
Rose-Marie wept. The proverb "Weep and you weep alone," broke down as badly on application as most of its kind. Both babies were wailing lugubriously, and the parent Momebys had scarcely recovered from their earlier lachrymose condition. Clovis alone maintained an unruffled cheerfulness. "Must I keep him always?" asked Rose-Marie dolefully.
He wagged his head lugubriously, turned aside and affected to wipe away a vagrant tear with his salmon-colored silk handkerchief. "Look here!" Cappy rasped. "This thing is getting personal.

You give your attention to your packing, Miss Lennard, and leave the rest to me you won't mind travelling the night?" Celia shook her head.

She drew Nan closer to her and her own brown eyes, the full counterpart of her daughter's, winkled merrily. "I tell you what let's do, Nan," she said. "What shall we do, Momsey?" repeated the girl, rather lugubriously.
Knowing Smith's dislike of demonstrations, Rodier was about to point lugubriously to the edge of the cliff, when some one shouted "Here he is!" and the mob flocked towards the club-house, from which Smith had just emerged. Rodier seized the opportunity to finish his meal, and direct the operations of the men who had brought the petrol.
