A great white-and-yellow, blunt-faced, pale-eyed dog, his neck surrounded by a spiked collar, stood there sniffing and looking savage, his feathery tail cocked up pugnaciously over his back. "Sebastiano!" called Lucrezia, leaning out of the window under the awning "Sebastiano!" Then she drew back laughing, and squatted down on the floor, concealed by the window-seat.
I was taken to see reproductions of the most famous of the statues at Balbec, shaggy, blunt-faced Apostles, the Virgin from the porch, and I could scarcely breathe for joy at the thought that I might myself, one day, see them take a solid form against their eternal background of salt fog.
Indeed, when one considered, there was really a "blunt-faced bee" look about the woman. The brougham had on the box two men in smart livery; the footman, closing the door, received St. George's reply to Mrs. Hastings' appeal to "tell the man the number of this frightful place."

The hunter was a big-legged, small-headed Abenaqui, with knees over-topping his tuft of hair when he squatted on his heels.
And they with naked feet and looks askance come homewards, and sorely they upbraid me when they have gone on a vain journey, and listless again in the bottom of their empty coffer they dwell with heads bowed over their chilly knees, where is their drear abode, when portionless they return.
