More nefarious practices no doubt, said the relentless VOX POPULI. Seen near at hand, he was a tall, haggard-looking fellow of some forty years of age, the muscles on his neck standing out like those of a skinny old horse. Here, his gratuitous assumption of a common bond drew a cold: "Pray, what reason have you to think that?" from Mahony.
Marechal appeared through the half-open door with a scared face, and silently handed Madame Desvarennes a card. She glanced at it, turned pale, and said to the secretary: "Very well, let him wait!" She threw the card on the table. Serge came forward and read: "Delbarre, sheriff's officer." Haggard-looking and aghast, he turned to the mistress, as if seeking an explanation.
At the end of the long free seat, beyond where they had been sitting, was a strange, haggard-looking woman; a pair of cheap cotton gloves showed her thin white wrists, and her black dress looked dusty and draggled. She had a strange haunted look on her face, as if she had left some tragedy behind her at home.
They had their sheath knives and consequently had little fear from an attack by Tabu-Tabu and the king. These latter kept well to the other side of the island and subsisted in much the same manner as their white neighbours. At the end of a week, all hands were troubled with indigestion and McGuffey developed a low fever. They had lost much flesh and were a white, haggard-looking trio.
His eyes were feverishly brilliant, and Ann could see that even during the last few days his boyish face had grown strangely haggard-looking. "Tony, you're in trouble of some sort. I wish you'd tell me about it," she entreated. "There's nothing to tell. Don't fuss so, Ann" irritably. "I said it was neck or nothing. Well, it's going to be neck! I swear it shall be.
I knew the house, which was in a small uptown street, by its closed windows and the craped bell, which I shuddered as I touched. However, it was too late to draw back, and I therefore inquired for Mrs. File. A haggard-looking young woman came down, and led me into a small parlor, for whose darkened light I was thankful enough. "Did you write this note?"
And so, since no more washdirt would be raised from this hole, the party that worked it made off for the nearest grog-shop, to wet their throats to the memory of the dead, and to discuss future plans. All but one: a lean and haggard-looking man of some five and forty, who was known to his comrades as Long Jim.
This was especially true of a spare, haggard-looking violinist, boyish of figure and cat-like of manner, with deep dark rings under his insatiable blue eyes. He called himself Octavius. He was literally consumed by the blaze of his own conceit and envy.
It was the very last field in sight, and behind it the rough, heather-packed mountain sloped distantly away to the skyline. There was a raggedy blackberry hedge all round the field, and there were long, tough, haggard-looking plants growing in clumps here and there. Near a corner of this field there was a broad, low tree, and as they played they came near and nearer to it.
There he stands, dressed in old black clothes, worn and tattered looking, with his fair auburn hair all tangled and matted; his chin covered with a short stubbly beard of some weeks' growth, and his face gaunt and haggard-looking the very same appearance as he had when he landed in Australia. Then he sought to preserve his liberty; now he is seeking to preserve his life.
