"She is distressingly brisk and healthy, and I should say, my dear, not of a sympathetic nature, which is always a pity in a young woman." After this somewhat depressing visit, the call upon Mrs. Roberts was a refreshing one. She received her very cordially. "I like you, Miss Hannay," she said, when, after a quarter of an hour's lively talk, the Major and his niece got up to go.
Towards night a distressingly cold breeze, laden with a penetrating mist, set in from the sea, and put an end to future observations by making us too uncomfortable to care for scenery or social conditions. We wanted most to devise a way to keep warm.
It is only that Hetty Gray is so so distressingly like my mother. And Nell says she was found on the sea-shore after a storm and wrecks. And it is fourteen years ago. And that is the very time when our vessel was wrecked, and my father and mother believed that our baby was drowned. Oh, Mrs. Enderby, only think! Is it not enough to turn my head?"
It might be that Lars was silent because he wished to make what he would say all the more impressive. But he was certainly withholding his thanks a distressingly long while. The situation had become embarrassing. The others had stopped talking and looked a little uncomfortable.

I had another fit of insensibility last night: the muscles of the back lose all power, and there is constant singing in the ears, and inability to do the simplest sum. The streams like this are almost innumerable. Mombo's village. It is distressingly difficult to elicit accurate information about the Lake and rivers, because the people do not think accurately.
"Didn't you find it distressingly warm?" "Somewhat so." "I tried to go in to attend to some business that mother was anxious about, and even went down to the depot; but I had to give it up." "Were you overpowered by the heat?" "I was." "How unfortunate!" remarked Gertrude, in a half-compassionate, half-ironical tone of voice. Mr.

It represented a figure, distressingly like himself, robed as a priest in vestments. She snatched the offending drawing from him and tore it to shreds. "If you don't want a Temple, have a meeting-house. You wanted a meeting-house anyhow." "Just any old meeting-house," he said. "Not that special one. A place without choirs and clergy."
