We sauntered by dark-eyed Italian girls lolling on the benches, shaggy bearded old sailors, whose scarred faces told of fierce battles with the elements, and stopped to examine the plaster casts presented for our inspection by a weary-eyed street vender.
I find myself wanting to use the adjective over and over again when I speak of her. Such a desolate, loveless life! Always a drunken father, she had never known any other; always a sharp-toned, weary-eyed, disheartened mother, who shut her tenderness for the child within herself, as one who could not afford to show it. Then Dirk, the one brother, going astray almost as soon as he was born.
He brought it at once to a strangely drooping and weary-eyed Joanna, and read it again over her shoulder. "DEAR ARTHUR," it ran "I'm afraid this will hurt you and Joanna terribly, but I expect you have already guessed what has happened. I am on my way to San Remo, to join Sir Harry Trevor, and I am never coming back, because I know now that I ought not to have married you.
Outside the pizzicato of the crowds, the Great City, shining, dragon-eyed, through the mist the City That Has No Heart. And here under our nose, twinkling up at our eyes, a huge tray full of 10-cent wedding rings. End of Act One. Act Two, now Madge, the sharp-tongued, weary-eyed young woman behind the counter. Love-me love songs in her ear and people unraveling, faces unraveling before her.
The chaplain noted that he was being avoided, and guessing that someone had placed Dr Pendle on his guard against him, became more secretive and watchful than ever.

She was sitting in a cane lounge-chair, listless, pale, and weary-eyed. As he entered she gave him one swift glance and then looked away. "Do you wish to see me, Mrs. Eustace?" he asked in a cold, formal voice. She did not reply at once, but sat with her head bowed and her hands loosely clasped in her lap. "If you will say what you wish to as quickly as you can, I shall be obliged," he said.
Inside, a stubble-bearded, weary-eyed trader is balancing his account-books among the bales of cotton prints that surround him. Three sheeted figures bear him company, and throw in a remark from time to time. First he makes an entry, then a remark; then passes the back of his hand across his streaming forehead. The heat in the built-in street is fearful.
Warrender entered looking the boy could not tell how flushed, weary-eyed: something as he had seen his father look in the morning after a late night. Excitement simulates many recollections, and this was the first thought that leaped to Geoff's little mind, with its little bit of painful experience.

He followed his tall father out into the fresh morning. Everything was dripping and soggy, but the sun was going to shine, and dry the world off. Together they trudged through the wetness, into the village. Other gold seekers were trooping down to the river, and the villagers, yawning and weary-eyed after the dance, were watching them, and collecting money due for entertainment. Mr.
