And yet there was something distinctive about the man, Hammond thought, something wild and uncanny, which made him unlike any of those hale and hearty-looking dalesmen on whom old age sate so lightly.

That afternoon a big, hearty-looking man came into the office with the paper in his hand, and demanded to see the editor.
There are scores here of these well-attired, healthy-faced, hearty-looking, stout-limbed, but distressed individuals present, with not one of whom I should have the slightest objection to dine to-day, or on any other day, for that matter. But we must beware of rash judgments.

"O Margaret, have ye heard this sad news about George Wilson?" "Yes, that I have. Poor creatures, they've been so tried lately. Not that I think sudden death so bad a thing; it's easy, and there's no terrors for him as dies. For them as survives it's very hard. Poor George! he were such a hearty-looking man."
Doctor Wicker had just made a proposal of marriage to Mrs. Himes, and at that moment they were both sitting in silence. The doctor, a bluff, hearty-looking man of about forty-five, had been very favorably impressed by Mrs. Himes when he first made her acquaintance, during her husband's sickness, and since that time he had seen her occasionally and had thought about her a great deal.
