She, of course, was grave, and listened to his protestations with her little finger in her mouth, and a pensive, down-cast eye. "How long will you be away?" inquired she. "But a week or ten days at the farthest. I shall fly back to see you again." "But, tell me the truth, have you no acquaintances there? now, tell me the truth. I don't mean men."
When I see him wandering in the Cathedral with his long fair hair, and his down-cast eyes, I understand the infatuation of the women. He is nice enough to eat; yes, gentlemen, to eat. Ah, you do not know as well as we do, how religion gains by young and handsome pastors for its interpreters, and with what rapidity the holy flock increases. It is an astonishing thing.
At this moment Catherine Seyton entered alone, contrary to her custom; and not less contrary to her custom, she entered with her kerchief at her eyes. Roland Graeme approached her with beating heart and with down-cast eyes, and asked her, in a low and hesitating voice, whether the Queen were well? "Can you suppose it?" said Catherine.
A sombre fire burnt in her eyes, and he, who had expected that she would meet him with blushes and down-cast eyes, was crushed. She was the triumphant seducer, and he the bashful victim.

She talked as usual without the slightest indication that a new factor had entered her life.
The muny you owe us would have come in handier. Peace Greenfield." He tucked the note in his pocket, dropped the shoes on the kitchen mantle, and went chuckling about his morning work.

He looks at Pleasure as she approaches, and comes to him with the Recommendation of warm Wishes, gay Looks, and graceful Motion; but he does not observe how she leaves his Presence with Disorder, Impotence, down-cast Shame, and conscious Imperfection. She makes our Youth inglorious, our Age shameful.
The pigeon was perched upon his left hand, secured to Verty's arm by a ribbon tied around one of its feet. This ribbon had been given him by Redbud. In the other hand he carried his rifle, for some days disused at his feet lay Longears and Wolf, in vain pleading with down-cast eyes for permission to accompany him.
Walking through all these, heedless of the looks cast upon him, and hearing not the oft-repeated bugle-blasts from all parts of the camp, might be seen a man of small stature, thin and poorly clad, with down-cast face, wild, unsettled eye, and timid, nervous gait. It was the man who had created it all Peter the Hermit. He had crossed from Constantinople with Godfrey of Bouillon.
The usual vanguard, the usual quicksilver bunch of humanity, massing, separating, flowing this way and that, and in the midst of them a fair-haired, timid-looking young girl, walking quietly with down-cast eyes, as if unused to being in big New York alone at eight o'clock at night. Rex stood in front of her with bared head. "I beg your pardon," he repeated his formula; "are you looking for Mr.
Fra Domenico checked his upraised hand, and fell to muttering scraps of Latin, his lids veiling his suddenly down-cast eyes. Thus Peppe gained the door. "Say, friar; in my ear, now Was that a hare you stewed, or an outworn sandal?" "Now, God forgive me," roared the monk, springing towards him. "For your cooking? Aye, pray on your knees."
