His glance fell musingly on the down-bent head with its masses of dark-brown hair, upon the white and shapely arms from which the sleeves were rolled back, Georgiana had been busy in the kitchen when the expressman came, upon the whole comely young figure in its blue-print morning dress. "They never have need of the pieces, I should judge," said he. "But I have.
"And what did you decide?" "I said I couldn't tell, because I never saw you at a corn-popping. I asked her that day we went to walk why she wouldn't ask you to it, but she just said you were too busy to come. I didn't think you acted too busy to come," he said naïvely, glancing up into Richard's down-bent face.
Nor did Ruth Mary fail to respond, with her down-bent looks, as simply and unawares as the clouds turning their bright side to the sun. Tommy, on his part, was stoutly withholding, in words, the admiration his eyes could not help showing, of the strange fisherman's tools.
He changed his seat to face her from the opposite corner; looked at his watch, and thereafter gazed steadily from the window with down-bent eyes for so long that Amaryllis grew bored and nervous. "Two minutes to do a mile," he said at last, having again looked at his watch. "It's fifteen minutes since we left Harthborough seven miles and a half.
The church is filled as instantaneously, and the wildly gay dancers of a moment ago are now kneeling, hushed and down-bent, in devotional attitudes.

The rush spent, he found himself in the position of a man milled.
I had more than ordinary attention during my discourse, at one point in which I saw the down-bent head of Catherine Weir sink yet lower upon her hands.

I need not assure my reader that she was not present to my mind when I spoke the words that so far had moved her.
The very fancy of such submission from such a creature would have thrilled me with a wild compassion once; but now I thought of Charley and felt cold to her sorrow as well as her loveliness. When she lifted her eyes to mine, however it was not so dark but I could see their sadness I began to hope a little for my friend. I took her hand and raised her. She was now weeping with down-bent head.
