"And I say, look a bit dismal. After all, we've just come from a funeral." Mrs. Wickham gave a sort of suppressed wail. "Oh, I'm downhearted enough, Heaven knows." "Mr. Wynne, sir," said Kate from the doorway. Mr. Wynne, the late Miss Wickham's solicitor, was a jovial, hearty man, tallish, bald and ruddy-looking. In his spare time he played at being a country gentleman.
"John frequently did themes for the boys," says Anthony, "and for myself when I was aground." His progress in all school learning was certain to be rapid, if he even moderately took to it. A lean, tallish, loose-made boy of twelve; strange alacrity, rapidity and joyous eagerness looking out of his eyes, and of all his ways and movements.
He was a lean, tallish fellow, with a Scotch cast of countenance, a small blue eye, high cheek bones, a freckled skin, and whity-brown hair. He had a dry, cautious humor, fed by much out-of-the-way reading.
Miss Tucker might punish her at any time on general principles and not go far astray, especially when she sat, as now, bent over her slate. Henrietta was a girl past sixteen, somewhat tallish, and a little awkward; her hair was light, her eyes blue, and her face not yet developed, but there were the crude elements of a possible beauty in her features.
Thomas Kimberly ahum!" I reckon if Katherine's brother, Tom Kimberly, had of knowed how much we was waiting for a look at him he might of been some fussed up about it; but when our William brought him and Katherine in he didn't seem rattled. He was a right tallish young fellow, maybe twenty-four years or thereabouts, slim, and with a wide mouth.
"It was a tallish rent, you know. The flat you took was in the most expensive quarter of Paris," he said with reluctance. Craven winced and his hands gripped the arms of his chair. "But you you write to her, you have been over several times to see her," he said, with a new trouble coming into his eyes, and Peters turned from his steady stare.
I mentioned the matter twice to peasants whom I met upon the road. One, a tallish man with a freckled face, sidled past me and ran swiftly towards the station. The other, a smaller and older man, stood entranced while I recited to him that passage of the Saxon Chronicle which begins, "Then came Leija with longships forty-four, and the fyrd went out against him."
She grew up tallish, like her pa, and slim and round, same as her ma. She had brownish or yellowish hair, too, which was sunburned, for she never wore no bonnet; but her eyes was like her ma's, which was dark and not blue, though her skin was white like her pa's under his shirt sleeves, only she never had no freckles the way her pa had some was large as nickels on him in places.
Septimus Hicks, who was a tallish, white-faced young man, with spectacles, and a black ribbon round his neck instead of a neckerchief—a most interesting person; a poetical walker of the hospitals, and a ‘very talented young man.’ He was fond of ‘lugging’ into conversation all sorts of quotations from Don Juan, without fettering himself by the propriety of their application; in which particular he was remarkably independent.
The group on Beausejour knew that the British would attempt no landing for some hours, as the tide was scarce past the ebb, and half a mile of red mire lay between the water and the firm green edges of the marsh. The French soldiers were talking in loud, excited tones. As they spoke a tallish lad drew near and listened eagerly.
