A pair of frowzy cubs, as uncertain on their feet and as woolly as puppies, came tumbling along. "What have you got, Mamma Bear? May we see, oh, may we see?" shrieked the cubs excitedly. "Oho! so I've fallen in with bears," thought the boy to himself. "Now Smirre Fox won't have to trouble himself further to chase after me!" The mother bear pushed the boy along to the cubs.
But all places had something rare and worthy to be seen: if not loveliness of sculpture or architecture, at least interesting squalor and picturesque wretchedness: and I believe I had less delight in proper Objects of Interest than in the dirty neighborhoods that reeked with unwholesome winter damps below, and peered curiously out with frowzy heads and beautiful eyes from the high, heavy-shuttered casements above.
Heavens! what a pleasure-trip. To ride eighty miles more without sleep! We should simply be delivered dead on the Bras d'Or; that is all. Tell us, gentle driver, is there no other way? "Well, there's Jim Hughes, come over at midnight with a passenger from Baddeck; he's in the hotel now; perhaps he'll take you." Our hope hung on Jim Hughes. The frowzy servant piloted us up to his sleeping-room.
They went to him, and took up and carried him into the tavern, and laid him down upon a frowzy bed in the room where the child lay upon the iron-framed cot.

A valise and an iron-bound leather lady's trunk had been brought from the waggon by his orders, and set in the room where he was in his sight.

Of course I was at his mercy till the end of the half, and in his weeks my study was so frowzy I couldn't sit in it." "They spoil one's things so, too," chimed in a third boy. "Hall and Brown were night-fags last week. I called 'fag, and gave them my candlesticks to clean. Away they went, and didn't appear again.
The system is centuries old in Italy, but there are people who to this day cannot summon courage to repair in person to the Mount of Pity, and, to meet their wants, there has grown up a class of frowzy old women who transact the business for them, and receive a small percentage for their trouble.
Sinclair sat alone in her room, the frowzy waitress announced "a lady," and was requested to bid her enter. A woman came with timid mien into the room, sat down, as invited, and removed her veil.
The girls were pretty enough girls, I dare say, under ordinary circumstances, one was really lovely, with soft cheeks, long eyelashes, eyes deep and liquid, and Tasso's gold in her hair, though of a bad figure, ill set off by a bad dress, but Venus herself could not have been seen to advantage in such evil plight as they, panting, perspiring, ruffled, frowzy, puff-balls revolving through an atmosphere of dust, a maze of steaming, reeking human couples, inhumanly heated and simmering together with a more than Spartan fortitude.
Colonel Hullocher had vanished out of his world, and he had been sent to another and still more frowzy public-house which was the Headquarters of No. 2 Battery of the Second Brigade. He was allotted to No. 2 Battery, subject to the approval of Major Craim, the commanding officer.
