Oh, Conn, you don't know how much I missed you ... Mother, Dad, doesn't he look just splendid?" Kurt Fawzi, a little thinner, his face more wrinkled, his hair grayer, shook his hand.
"Hello, Goo-goo!" said he: "You're having a grand little time with your blanket, aren't you?" "I'll truly take the whole thing in hand," Nancy said, noticing with a little pang that dear old Bert was looking older, and grayer, than he had a few years ago.

The gray day had become grayer, and the wind blew fresh in our faces with the smell of rain heavy upon it, as we sought the hotel.

And so time ran on, and nigh to Christmas day my father came home. The weather was more mild than common, and his ship met no delay from ice. I joined him off Chester Creek.

Full-grown trees in favorable situations are usually about 200 feet high and five or six feet in diameter. As old age creeps on, the rough bark becomes rougher and grayer, the branches lose their exact regularity of form, many that are snow-bent are broken off and the axis often becomes double or otherwise irregular from accidents to the terminal bud or shoot.
