We arrived at the place of execution.
The artists of the Pont Neuf are, consequently, chop-fallen; and hilarity which formerly shone on their countenance, is now succeeded by gloomy sadness. At the foot of the Pont Neuf on the Quai de la Feraille recruiting-officers used to unfurl their inviting banners, and neglect nothing that art and cunning could devise to insnare the ignorant, the idle, and the unwary.
The Koh-i-noor did not favor us with his company for a day or two, being confined to his chamber, it was said, by a slight feverish, attack. He was chop-fallen always after this, and got negligent in his person. The impression must have been a deep one; for it was observed, that, when he came down again, his moustache and whiskers had turned visibly white about the roots.
Not for a moment did I think of demanding a new trial; that would have been impertinent, as doubting the sagacity of the jury. My two Irish prosecutors left the court-room in a rage; and two more chop-fallen disappointed and mortified Greeks were never seen.
Capsucefalo, a little taken aback, said it cost him four hundred sequins. "I will hold it as a pledge for that sum," said the ambassador, putting the ring into his pocket.

The squire stared in discomfiture while Herbert drew out the precise sum needed to pay the interest. "Where did you get that money?" he inquired, chop-fallen. "Honestly, Squire Leech. Will you give me a receipt?" The squire did so mechanically. "I will give you the three hundred and fifty dollars," he said; "but you must accept it to-day, or it is withdrawn."
One evening Lebrun got home looking extremely chop-fallen. He went into his study to work; but he soon came back shivering to his wife, for he had caught a fever and hurriedly went to bed. There he lay groaning and lamenting for his clients and especially for a poor widow whose fortune he was to save the very next day by effecting a compromise.
