Her reply began with a hint of forlornness that vanished with her smile, as she warned: "You will play ducks and drakes with the house-boys' names." "I never do it with pedigreed stock," he assured her with a solemnity belied by the challenging twinkle in his eyes. "I didn't mean that," was her retort. "I meant that you were exhausting the possibilities of the language.
The ghost hath taken himself to the graveyard; the morning dawns soft and sunny on what we harmlessly style the sunny city of the sunny South. Madame Flamingo hath resolved to nail another horse-shoe over her door. About him there is a forlornness that the quick eye never fails to discover in the manners of the homeless man.
I was touched to notice a certain disappointment and forlornness in his manner as he accompanied me to the boundary fence, where we shook hands, and parted each looking forward to the probability of meeting again, but with different degrees of longing.
The houses looked dead and untenanted. A cart rumbled past, and across the grey street a dingy black cat, moving furtively along the pavement, gave an additional touch of forlornness to the scene. I shivered. I was tired and hungry, and the reaction after the emotions of the night had left me dispirited. I was engaged to be married. An hour back I had proposed to Cynthia Drassilis.
Neither she nor any one else should have the satisfaction of being any comfort to him; since he had been shut up as an unclean person, he had better keep himself quite apart from them. He would make his punishment still more hard, and purposely increased his forlornness, kept out of his thoughts everything that was near and dear to him, and dragged the painful things into the foreground.

The place had become bleak and tragic and Mr. Lovel felt the forlornness in his bones.
Emily was again confused, and again hesitated what to reply; she felt most acutely the difficulty the forlornness of her situation, which did not allow her a single relative, or friend, to whom she could turn for even a look, that might support and guide her in the present embarrassing circumstances.
"And I have no means of offering you a fire there are no fireplaces," he groaned, with a gesture round the bleak Italian room, to certify their absence. "Is n't there a kitchen?" asked the Duchessa, a faint spark of raillery kindling amid the forlornness of her smile. Peter threw up his hands. "I had lost my head. The kitchen, of course. I 'll tell Marietta to light a fire."
She sighed a gusty sigh of real forlornness when the curtain had descended in such a way that it could not possibly be construed by even inexperienced theatergoers to mean anything but that it was all over. "It doesn't last near long enough, not near!" she said, regretfully, as she was being helped into the Green Cloak. Mr. Bennet produced his watch.
