At a distance, he seemed to have suffered some frightful injury to his head, but when he was brought into the midst of the company it appeared that he had twisted a red handkerchief about his face as if to soothe a toothache. He had a particularly hangdog expression as he stood before the inspector with his head bowed and his countenance averted from Mr.
There had sprung up a complete understanding between her and the children, and her affection for them was returned with gratifying respect. Then, one Monday morning, there entered a disturbing element.

In the narrow entrance he brushed against a man on the way out, a man with a hangdog look and short bristling hair and the pastily-pallid skin that comes from living long away from the sunlight. Feuerstein shivered slightly was it at the touch of such a creature or at the suggestions his appearance started? In front of him was a ground-glass partition with five doors in it.
They're all right when they come North to college, but of all the hangdog, ill-dressed, slovenly lot I ever saw, a bunch of small-town Southerners are the worst!" Sally Carrol was clinching her gloved hands and biting her lip furiously.
They are saying he killed his wife." Her dark face whitened, her dark eyes opened wide. "They cannot!" "They do. They say he couldn't look such a miserable, hangdog wretch for nothing. The worst is, the boys at the college have got hold of it.

Kill Swope in fair fight, with chances equal? Newman might do that. But shoot him down like a mad dog, when he was unprepared and perhaps unarmed no, Newman would not do that. Nor would any decent man. I passed another milestone in my evolution into manhood, as I stood there, hangdog and ashamed. I added another "don't" to my list. She brushed back the hair from my forehead.
The look in Trenwith's eyes, and the sheepish, hangdog expression of his whole face made Eleanor gasp. So he had betrayed them! After all, despite his fine talk, he had been tempted by the money that Holmes seemed prepared to spend so lavishly! And he had led Bessie and Zara right into a trap a merciless trap, as she knew, from which escape would be most difficult, if not utterly impossible.
