Moreover, the big Swede knew perfectly well that she was coming and expected. In word, in action, in every move of his, this man was lying, stupidly, coarsely, with features indifferent or pretending concern. It was unbearable. She turned and looked at him again, swiftly but haggardly.
Penrod put the licorice water out of sight and turned to face the others. Maurice was seating himself on a box just outside the door and had taken a package of cigarettes from his pocket. "Nobody can see me from here, can they?" he said, striking a match. "You fellers smoke?" "No," said Sam, staring at him haggardly. "No," said Penrod in a whisper. Maurice lit his cigarette and puffed showily.
He recoiled against the foot of the bed and stared at her haggardly, and Gyp, turning back to her mirror, went on quietly taking the pins out of her hair. For fully a minute she could see him leaning there, moving his head and hands as though in pain. Then, to her surprise, he went. And a vague feeling of compunction mingled with her sense of deliverance.
The mate said he thought so too, and had noticed how bad Lemuel looked the minute he set eyes on him. But he asked what was the use? He had said everything he could to him about it. He was always just so, up at home. As he found opportunity he did what he could to console Lemuel with furtive winks and nods. Lemuel dragged absently and haggardly through the day. In the evening he told Mrs.
I magnified every little demonstration. When you touched my ear it was more to me than the embrace of another man might have been. I have lived on one kiss of yours for a week.

Usually, after that, she would sit up, haggardly, and take the hairpins out of her short thick hair, and announce her intention of going to bed.
"We have searched for the man. He cannot be found." "Where is the woman-doctor?" persisted the excited chief. "She recommended the fellow. She'd be apt to know. Can't some of you find her?" At this moment, young Dr. Frank looked haggardly into the Relief Office. "I am taking her cases," he said. "She is down with the fever."
The hours passed, and sometimes the old man upon the bed would snore a little, stop suddenly, and move as if to rise, but George Amberson would set a hand upon his shoulder, and murmur a reassuring word or two. Now and then, either uncle or nephew would tiptoe into the hall and look toward Isabel's room, then come tiptoeing back, the other watching him haggardly.
Because he was still weak, tears came into his eyes, and because he could not permit them to be seen, he waved and haggardly smiled toward the smiling and nodding faces without inviting them nearer. Women! women!... What a great deal of room they had occupied in his life! How much he owed them for affection, mother, sister, servant-girl, friends....
Vard, your best friends ... Miss Vard, won't you speak to your father?" He turned to me haggardly; "We can get out by the back way?" I nodded.
