By and by we came to Dunscore kirk, which Burns used to attend with his family while resident at Ellisland a gloomy-looking man, the people thought him, all the time that he, with his generous, benevolent nature, was in reality groaning over the stern Calvinistic theology of the preacher.
The breeze continued all the afternoon, and at dark we were off the islands of Nancital, having been all day within a few miles of the north-eastern side of the lake, the banks of which are everywhere clothed with dark gloomy-looking forests. One of the islands was a favourite sleeping-place for the white egrets.
Among the latter was the old woman, Korableva, who had seen Maslova off in the morning. She was a tall, strong, gloomy-looking woman; her fair hair, which had begun to turn grey on the temples, hung down in a short plait. She was sentenced to hard labour in Siberia because she had killed her husband with an axe for making up to their daughter.
At last we got it on our quarter, and knew that we had gone clear! The gloomy-looking land disappeared to leeward, in a deep, broad bay, giving us plenty of sea-room. We now took in canvass, to ease the ship. The mainsail and fore-topsail were furled, leaving her to jog along under the main-topsail, foresail, and fore-topmast staysail.
He found courage to look around and study his fellow-students after a little and discovered that several of them were quite as awkward, quite as ill at ease as himself. "He's the high mucky-muck o' this shebang," Shep whispered. "Why so?" asked Bradley, looking carefully at the big, smooth-faced, rather gloomy-looking young fellow.
They pushed it aside, and stepping over a pile of sacks, found themselves in a covered shed overlooking the sea. A place of curious aspect, with no sign of life in it All was as still and gloomy-looking as if it were a huge mausoleum. "I know what this place is," said Harry Girdwood. "What?" "It must be the dead-house on the terrace that I see noted down in old Dougherty's plans."
Schaaf, who entered the hallway in advance of the professor, responded to my greeting in his customary gruff, almost suspicious manner, and passed on, turning down the collar of his overcoat. His heavily bearded face was as gloomy-looking as ever in the light of the single flickering gaslight. The professor, although by birth a compatriot of the other, was in disposition his opposite.
The Western Ophthalmic Hospital, a gloomy-looking stuccoed building, is near at hand. This was founded in 1856. The small streets leading from the Marylebone Road into York and Crawford Streets are poor in character. In the north of Seymour Place is a small Primitive Methodist chapel, erected in 1875. York Street, in spite of being a little wider, is not much better than its neighbours.
'Can't she see even if there were anything in the "Cause," as she calls it what an imbecile waste of time it is talking to these louts? 'There's a good many voters here, said a tall, gloomy-looking individual, wearing a muffler in lieu of a collar. 'She's politician enough to know that. Mrs. Fox-Moore looked through the man.
It was a desolate and gloomy-looking place to Tom, who had always lived among green fields, and the beautiful surroundings of a New England rural district. If the fort itself looked dreary, how much more so were the casemates in which the company was quartered! But Tom's philosophy was proof against the unpleasant impression, and his joke was as loud and hearty as that of any of his companions.
