Under the stairway was a narrow door marked "For the Playeres Onelie"; and in the doorway stood a shrewd-faced, common-looking man, writing upon a tablet which he held in his hand. There was a case of quills at his side, with one of which he was scratching busily, now and then prodding the ink-horn at his girdle.
At length he stopped at the door of a very common-looking house, in a very dreary-looking street, in which no man could possibly identify his own door except by the number. I knocked. A woman who looked at once dirty and cross, the former probably the cause of the latter, opened the door, gave a bare assent to my question whether Mr.
One large, very common-looking man, wearing superb diamond shirt-buttons, came in his turn to shake Amedee's hand, and in a hoarse, husky voice which would have been excellent to propose tickets "cheaper than at the office!" he asked for the manuscript of the poem that had just been recited.
He said, that if he had not been told who it was, he should have pronounced him, from his general appearance and manner, a common-looking, sea-faring man, who was not accustomed to the service of the Church; for he did not seem to understand when he should kneel, and when he should rise."
'Hallo, Vava Wharton! Where are you in the moon, wool-gathering? inquired a hearty voice beside her, and a rather stout, common-looking girl, who, however, was nicely dressed and had a pleasant face, patted her on the back. 'Oh Doreen! you startled me. I was thinking! ejaculated Vava. 'Not very pleasant thoughts, by the look of you, said Doreen, with a sharp look at Vava's grave face.

Desborough arose, swearing and stamping; but, ere he could pick up his cap, Sam was alongside of him, breathless, and with him another common-looking man my man, Dick, no other and they both cried out together, "What has happened?" "Look there!" said Desborough, pointing to something dark among the grass, "that's what has happened. What lies there was Charles Hawker, and the villain is off."

Serge, in taking leave of Madame Desvarennes, said: "In exchange for all the happiness which you give me, I have only my life to offer; accept it, Madame, it is yours."
Never would there be good faith enough to bring such things about. They knew it; every one, except a few young fools, knew it. As I crossed the corner of St. James's Park wrapped in thought, I dodged back just in time to escape a prancing pair of greys. A stout, common-looking woman, very magnificently dressed, regarded me from the carriage with a scornful eye.
"What is she like?" asked Miss Trappème eagerly. "I didn't see her face, but her clothes are all right, I can tell you." "Oh, a little, common-looking thing, but uppish. I wonder what on earth she does want to see Mr. Grainger for?" Half an hour later, when Miss Carolan's luggage arrived, it was duly inspected and criticised by the whole Trappème family.
