The morning after that paying-off dinner, Grey and I were up early, and had breakfasted, when a yellow chaise drew up at the door of the Blue Posts, and in the interior appeared seated a very dignified-looking gentleman in plain clothes, whom we had no difficulty in distinguishing as Mr Jonathan Johnson.
The subject was one of so much importance that Mike, in defiance of the dignified-looking clerk, indulged in a hornpipe, and was only brought to his senses when told that he would be locked up by the policemen as a lunatic, unless he was more quiet.
It was coloured in the most curious fashion: the head, hind-quarters, and near-leg being black; the tail and mane and off-legs yellow; and the rest of the body red, with round yellow spots. It was led by a tall groom; a diminutive youth was mounted upon its back; and a proud, dignified-looking personage, having a double-headed axe or hammer on his shoulder, strode in front.
"Little girls are one thing, but when they grow up into" he held her away and looked at her proudly "into handsome and dignified-looking young women, a man doesn't quite know where he is." He took her in his arms again and, kissing her forehead, winked delightedly in the direction of Mr. Tredgold, who was affecting to look out of the window.
"We're the family, Mr. Hawkes," ventured Alaric, helpfully. Mrs. Chichester's forebodings came uppermost. After the news of the bank's failure nothing would surprise her now in the way of calamity. What could this grave, dignified-looking man want with them? Her eyes filled. "Is it BAD news?" she faltered. "Oh, dear, no," answered Mr. Hawkes, genially. "Well is it GOOD news?" queried Alaric.

The child has grown mightily!" she exclaimed. "Indeed, there will not be a thing fit for her to wear! Madam Wetherill was considering that, and has sent for new measurements.
Graham come, Fanny?" asked Gertrude, as they walked up to the house together. "Yes, indeed; Mrs. Graham, and Kitty, and Isabel, and a little girl, and a sick gentleman Mr. Clinton, I believe; and another gentleman but he's gone." "Who has gone?" "Oh, a tall, dignified-looking man, with black eyes, and a beautiful face, and hair as white as if he were old and he isn't old either."
When Calhoun entered the private office he saw seated at a desk a dignified-looking gentleman about sixty years of age, who eyed him sharply, and Calhoun was sure a look of disappointment came over his face. This, then, was the gentleman who wished to see him on very important business—hardly more than a boy.
He was a dignified-looking man, greatly respected and esteemed in Newbern. He espoused captain Thompson's side of the argument, assured me it was unlikely his vessels would be laid up on account of the war, and would promise me that in any event I should not be thrown out of employment.
The rector was a dignified-looking man, with a tall figure, handsome features, and hair and beard which had of late been growing very grey.
