Some seemed to have straggled away as if they had given up trying to see or hear. So to one nearing it the town had a helter-skelter look. Our travelers passed rough boarded houses with grand-looking people in their dooryards and on their small porches men in broadcloth and tall hats and ladies in silk dresses. It was six o'clock and the men had come home to supper.
It was between eight and nine o'clock on a fine summer morning, everything looked bright and beautiful. Standing up from her work, she saw a gentleman walking slowly down the slope toward her. He was a "grand-looking" gentleman, arrayed in a flowered silk dressing-gown, with a cap of velvet on his head; and as he stepped toward her, in his slippered feet, he showed a very handsome leg.
Hurrah for the great Admiral! And when the naked and astonished people of the island saw all this the canoes with wings, as they called the ships, the richly-dressed men with white and bearded faces, the flags and swords, and the people kneeling about this grand-looking old man in the crimson cloak they said to one another: These men are gods; they have come from Heaven to see us.
But the grand-looking Turk is still on deck, reclining on his cushions; the slaves are still about, filling and refilling his long chibouque, on whose golden mouth-piece brilliants are seen glittering. Mohammed's keen eyes observe all this, and he follows each movement of the aristocratic Turk with breathless attention.
The children thought it was fairy-land. Frederica Fish sat there facing the company, quaintly dressed in antique costume; and before her knelt, on one knee, two grand-looking personages, very richly attired, presenting a gilt crown upon a satin cushion. Lady Jane Grey and the lords who came to offer her the kingdom. The draperies were exceedingly well executed and did Mrs. Sandford great credit.
"I declare, I've a mind to skin you if you don't keep still! Miss Constance," Polly addressed her eldest child, "I'm surprised at you! You might be a heathen savage for all you got on your back get into some duds this instant!" Cavendish was on his knees again beside Yancy, and Polly, by a determined effort, rid herself of the children. "Why, he's a grand-looking man, ain't he?" she cried.
It is remarkable that such grand-looking beasts should have so little sense as to invariably cross the road right in front of moving teams, and fairly challenge one to make targets of them. It was this crossing of large numbers that detained us so long yesterday.
Fairy's very grand-looking. I've tried my best to eat lots, and exercise, and make myself bigger, but I am a fizzle." "Yes, I played football. But girls do not need to be so tall as men. Don't you remember what Orlando said about Rosalind, 'just as tall as my heart'? I imagine you come about to my shoulder. We'll measure as soon as you are on your feet again."
The other had been busy fixing a gag in Jake Bond's mouth. Jim Bowley saw the horses come up. And, in the now brilliant moonlight, he beheld and recognized a grand-looking golden chestnut. There was no mistaking that glorious beast. Jim was no tenderfoot; he had been on the prairie in this district for years.
In this exceedingly practical age men quickly lay the axe at the root of things which, in their view, only cumber the ground; but before other trees had been planted the antiquated and grand-looking ombu had its uses; it served as a gigantic landmark to the traveller on the great monotonous plains, and also afforded refreshing shade to man and horse in summer; while the native doctor or herbalist would sometimes pluck a leaf for a patient requiring a very violent remedy for his disorder.
