It was a gloomy-looking house even in midsummer, standing like a grim figure menaced by the tortured limbs of the trees surrounding it, stark and alone. No other human habitation was in view from its site. The Latham who had built the twelve-room house had built on hope. He desired and expected to fill the great house with a breed of Lathams that would do honor to the Cape on sea and on land.
At the end of the avenue there was a white gate which Marius jumped down to open, and then they drove round an immense lawn and drew up before a high, gloomy-looking house which had all its shutters closed. The furniture was all covered up, and the clock and candelabra were enveloped in white cloths; the room smelt moldy, and its damp, cold atmosphere seemed to chill one to the very heart.
Have you seen Mostyn Hall?" "I have passed it several times. It is a large, gloomy-looking place I was going to say haunted-looking. It stands in a grove of yew trees." "So you are not going to ask me to Rawdon Court?" "I really cannot, Dora. It is not my house. I am only a guest there." "Never mind. Make no more excuses. I see how it is. You always were jealous of Fred's liking for me.
These gloomy-looking mansions were grim in a terrible sense, and they reminded one of the fearful transactions of "the good old times!"
The walls were nice and thick, built of rather gloomy-looking, rough gray stone, and the windows were deep deep enough to have window-seats in them, where granny and I used often to sit with our books or work, as the inner part of the rooms, owing to the shape of the windows, was rather dark, and the rooms of course were small.
A few minutes later they landed at the stairs, and, apparently quite at home in the place, Andrew led his companion in and out among the gloomy-looking streets and lanes of the old Alsatian district, and out into the continuation of what might very well be called High Street, London.
Mary's is a large, gloomy-looking building, with a very high tower, from which one can get a magnificent view of the surrounding country. In this tower is a very melodious chime of bells, about which there is told a pretty and touching story, which I do not doubt is true. Once there lived in Italy a skilful young artisan, who was celebrated for founding bells.
"I saw you arrive just too late for the train. While I was swearing at the inspector, I heard you speak to the station-master. Since then I have made inquiries. I understand that you have ordered a special train to Harwich." Mr. John P. Dunster said nothing, only his keen, clear eyes seemed all the time to be questioning this gloomy-looking but apparently harmless young man.
Weather cloudy and gloomy-looking, and the wind moaning and whistling through the rigging enough to give one the blues. These are some of the comforts of sea-going, and we have had our share of them in the Alabama. Thursday, December 18th. The gale continues, with dense clouds in every direction obscuring the heavens so that we get no meridian altitude.
Another stream was passed rising out of a boggy patch of ground, and here footprints were plentiful, but they were only those of birds that had been down to drink. Onward again, and to ascend a steep precipitous slope right before them they had to descend into a dank, dark, gloomy-looking gorge, whose vegetation was scarce, and yet the place seemed to grow hotter as they went down.
