The suit he had been so proud of was shrinking so that his arms and legs stuck out like signposts. The color had run and left the goods a peculiar bilious-looking overall blue. She lit a gas-log in a small library den. "Just a minute, please." She stepped briskly from the room. In her manner was a crisp decision, in her poise a trim gallantry that won him instantly.
Barty Jarper was talking near them, in his mild little way, to a tall young lady in a bilious-looking green dress, and further off Mr Bellthorp was laughing with Mrs Riller behind the friendly shelter of her fan. 'Well, said Vandeloup, amiably, as he sank into a seat beside Kitty, 'what is this great matter you wish to speak about? 'Madame Midas, retorted Kitty, looking straight at him.
It was the first he felt inclined to enter, and he went in. He did not know it was the shop from whose cart Tommy had pilfered. A thin-faced, bilious-looking, elderly man stood behind the counter.

A little thought led us to recognise in this amalgamation a travesty of our old friend plum-pudding; but so revolting was its dark, bilious-looking exterior that we felt its claim to be accounted a compatriot almost insulting. And it was with secret gratification that towards the close of January we saw the same stolid, unhappy blocks awaiting purchasers.
We had hardly got seated, before a dull, bilious-looking old gentleman rose, and applied his auger with such pertinacity that we were all bored nearly to distraction. I dared not look at Thackeray, but I felt that his eye was upon me.
In place of these, a lean, bilious-looking fellow, with his pockets full of handbills, was haranguing, vehemently about rights of citizens-elections members of Congress liberty Bunker's hill heroes of seventy-six-and other words, which were a perfect Babylonish jargon to the bewildered Van Winkle.
