Janetta noticed with a pang that his hair was greyer than it had been when last she went back to school. "We shall be glad to see her again at Helmsley Court," said Lady Caroline. "No, I won't get out, thank you. I have to get back to tea. Your daughter's box is in front. I was to tell you from Miss Polehampton, Mr.
Jim's head fell back, the fierce light went out of his eyes, the face became greyer and sharper. "Sally Nancy Nancy," he whispered, and his fingers clutched vaguely at the quilt. "He must have brandy or he will die. The system is pumped out. He must be revived," said the doctor. He reached again for the glass of spirits. Jim understood now.
"I'll bet my pile," said a rough voice, "that the gridiron bunting won't float another day in South Carolina." "I'll go you halves on that, hoss, and you and I won't grow greyer nor we be, before Old Virginny says 'me too." "Seth Rawbon, you'd better be packing your traps for Massachusetts. She'll want you afore long."
His face had lost its rosiness and was red in patches, like that of a man who gets too little fresh air. His hair was much greyer and very thin about the temples, and there were lines of overwork below the eyes. But the eyes were the same as before, keen and kindly and shrewd, and there was no change in the firm set of the jaw.

The uncertain quaver in his voice brought Urquhart's eyes for a moment upon his face, that was always pale and was now the colour of putty. "You're ill, aren't you?... I met Stephen.... I was coming back anyhow; I knew you weren't fit to walk." He muttered it absently, frowning down on the other greyer face in the grey dust.
Then Hallblithe saw that the darkness grew a little greyer, and he looked over his shoulder and saw a star of light before the bows of the boat, and Fox cried out: "Yea, it is like day; bright will the moon be for such as needs must be wayfaring to-night! Cease rowing, O Son of the coal-blue fowl, for there is way enough on her."
A colour between these two last; call it pale copper colour. All these three you must be careful over, for if you get them muddy or dirty you are lost. Tints of green from pure and pale to deepish and grey: always remembering that the purer the paler, and the deeper the greyer.
"It has gone," said Rickman, "where the old trousers go. Look there " Above them heaven seemed to hang low, bringing its stars nearer. A few clouds drifted across it, drenched in the blue of the night behind them, a grey-blue, watery and opaque. Below, sunk in a night greyer and deeper, were the lights of London.
He is a little greyer, no doubt; but the same genial and alert personage as in those days. I called on this gentleman, hoping to obtain from him some reminiscences of Gissing, whom he attended during a serious illness. "Yes," he replied, to my enquiries, "I remember him quite well; the young English poet who was ill here. I prescribed for him. Yes yes! He wore his hair long."
