Sparsit, 'these plain viands being on table, I thought you might be tempted. 'Thank'ee, Mrs. Sparsit, said the whelp. And gloomily fell to. 'How is Mr. Harthouse, Mr. Tom? asked Mrs. Sparsit. 'Oh, he's all right, said Tom. 'Where may he be at present? Mrs. Sparsit asked in a light conversational manner, after mentally devoting the whelp to the Furies for being so uncommunicative.
But what would you say to a German cannon twelve miles away landing ten shells in succession on a battery half as big as this stable without even being able to see the thing they were shooting at?" "I give up," said Charlie gloomily. "Old man Dowd was SOME liar, but, my gosh, he couldn't hold a well, my respect for the American Army is greater than it ever was, I'll say that, Captain.
Ever since the death of M. le Comte de Pastourelles, dreams concerning these two people had been stirring in the brain of Watson, and these dreams spoke now in the dark eyes he bent on Fenwick.

"We're finished, as far as the contest is concerned," said Agony gloomily. Sahwah turned her back sharply and winked her eyes hard to keep the tears from falling. She had worked so hard to build Many Eyes, and here was all her work gone for nothing, all on account of that fiendish goat!

Kit crossed the floor and put his hand on his father's arm. "Thanks; I think I know what this means to you. It will cost me something; but I must go." He went out and Peter sat still, looking gloomily at the fire. He felt old and knew he would be very lonely soon.
"But if they don't," said Andrew McKittrick gloomily, "who is going to pay for that carpet?" This was an unpleasant question. The others shirked it.
