There was something in his stern set face, in the strong man's reserved grief, in the pose of his grand-looking head, dignified, even in exhaustion, that was strangely pathetic. Erica scarcely seemed to realize that he was her father. It was more as if she were gazing at some scene on the stage, or on a wonderfully graphic and heart-stirring picture.
He came rather wearily up the hill: the road, he thought, must have grown steeper in parts since he was Curdie's age. His back was to the light of the sunset, which closed him all round in a beautiful setting, and Curdie thought what a grand-looking man his father was, even when he was tired.
"I am afraid that grand-looking personage at the door would not have let me in. As it is, he is looking at us with the greatest contempt." "That is Peter," the child said. "Peter, Peter, what are you standing staring for? Why don't you come and help me down as usual?"
I should never suggest such a thing to you if I thought it was in the least wrong. I know it isn't wrong." "I seed you issterday," she said, changing the subject suddenly, "but you dedn see me, did 'e?" "Yes, I did, and your father. He is a grand-looking man.

But something happened to the harness, and they were obliged to stop; so we got ahead, and reached the wide-arcaded square of the hotel first after all.

"This must be the worst instead of the best."
"What's this?" said Van Dorn, seeing a little crowd around one of the single-story cabins, and turning his team into the parallel street. A very tall, grand-looking man towered above the rest, and seemed unable to stand upright in the low cottage, with his proportions, so that he took his place on the grassy sand without and gave his directions to some one within: "Levy on the spinning-wheel!

The first grand-looking building, a cotton mill, is situated fifteen miles below Calcutta, and a cheerful dwelling-house is attached. From this point up to Calcutta, both banks of the Hoogly are lined with palaces built in the Greco-Italian style, and richly provided with pillars and terraces. We flew too quickly by, unfortunately, to obtain more than a mere passing glimpse of them.
The son of Henry III. returned from the Holy Land to be one of our noblest, best, and wisest kings. Edward I. called Longshanks in a kind of joke, because he was the tallest man in the Court was very grand-looking and handsome; and could leap, run, ride, and fight in his heavy armor better than anyone else.
The sooner we chose our ship and "stowed away" the better. I hesitated between sailing-vessels and steamers. I did not believe that one of the captain's adventures happened on board any ship that could move faster than it could sail. And yet I was much attracted by some grand-looking steamships.
