These were the most important personages, but they were backed by the whole population of the town, amounting to about three hundred men, women, and children, all talking, jabbering, and screaming: add to them the captain of the privateer, so important that he could not attend to even the mayor or the sergeant; and the privateer's men, dressed in every fashion, armed to the teeth, all explaining, or pushing away, or running here and there obeying orders; then the wounded men for they had several men killed and others hurt in the conflict with the cutter handed up one by one, bandaged here and there, and exciting the compassion and even screams of the women; the prisoners, who had been ordered to come on deck, half dressed and chapfallen; the sails of the vessels only dewed up, and still fluttering; ensigns and pennants hoisted upon every mast, and waving over the heads of the crowd assembled at the pier, and you may have some idea of the confused and bustling scene.
"But also I am, Heaven forgive me, a jingler of rhymes, with the stars for my candles and the roses for my toys, and singers of songs sometimes love in another fashion. And so it has chanced to me for my sins and to my sorrow." Villon's chin had dropped upon his breast; the cock's feather drooped dismally; the singer seemed quite chapfallen.
"I am not screwed," replied the Caterpillar, solemnly. "Whisky and potass does not agree with everybody; but I am not screwed, not at all." So speaking he sat down rather suddenly. Lovell shrugged his shoulders, glanced at the Caterpillar and Scaife, and left the room. Within two minutes he returned, chapfallen and frowning. "I knew it would be useless.

"O!" cried John, chapfallen; "do you think that absolutely necessary?" "I can't keep you here; I am a stranger," said she. "Do you want to run away again? I thought you had enough of that." He bowed his head under the reproof. She despised him, he reflected, as he sat once more alone; a monstrous thing for a woman to despise a man; and, strangest of all, she seemed to like him.
She understood that Mr Ormiston's family was wealthy, and never thought twice about it. She spoke with a hard dignity, the lady, and a great effect of doing business, a kind of assertion of the legitimate. The farmers of Fox County told each other in chapfallen appreciation that she was about as level-headed as they make them.

Amazement, incredulity, and rage were blended in such a way as to alarm me. During the whole course of my Life I had never seen a man at first so chapfallen; and then so furiously indignant.
"I will try, sir: but indeed I can hardly tell one flower from another." At this his face fell again. "Do you, by chance, know a bee when you see one?" "A bee? Oh yes, sir." "Come, we have touched bottom at length! Do you understand bees? Can you handle them?" Here Isabel, seeing my chapfallen face, interposed. "And if he does not, papa, you will have the pleasure of teaching him."
