Go you down and amuse yourself on the sands till Manasseh calls you." He walked back coolly, carrying the rug on his arm. "Where was she to be taken?" he asked. "To the stocks!" answered a voice or two. "To the Court-house!" said others. "It's the same thing," said the heavy-browed man, at the Collector's elbow. "The stocks are just across the square from the Court-house.
There was a kettle of broth on the peat fire, and after placing the girl in a corner of the settle, she filled three wooden bowls, two of which she placed before Hal and the shepherd, making signs to the heavy-browed Piers to wait; and getting no reply from her worn-out guest, she took her in her arms, and fed her from a wooden spoon.
She saw a tall and slim young man, inordinately thin, slightly bald, with a moustache like a rake, and heavy-browed, mournful eyes, pushing his way slowly upstairs. Without effort, his hands behind his back, working from the shoulders, he made room for himself, but so quietly that nobody seemed to observe how aggressively he was at it.
Besides these came two other men, side by side, perhaps in the same boat, of whom the world was like to hear much, from that time forward, and whose names are to be most solemnly linked together, so long as Netherland history shall endure; one, a fair-faced flaxen-haired boy of eighteen, the other a square- visaged, heavy-browed man of forty Prince Maurice and John of Olden- Barneveldt.
How different would have been the life of Septimius, a thoughtful preacher of God's word, taking severe but conscientious views of man's state and relations, a heavy-browed walker and worker on earth, and, finally, a slumberer in an honored grave, with an epitaph bearing testimony to his great usefulness in his generation.
"And what if you be?" said a huge, heavy-browed major beside him; "what great hardship is it to be a lieutenant in the cuirassiers at two and twenty? I was a sergeant ten years later." "Ay, parbleu!" cried another, "I won my epaulettes at Cairo, when three officers were reported living, in a whole regiment."
Algernon eyed the lumpy-headed, heavy-browed rascal with what disgust he had left in him, for one who came as an instrument of the Fates to help him to some poor refreshment. Sedgett informed him that he had never had such fun in his life.
It was a simple carte de visite, of the style once spoken of as vignette, only the head and shoulders being visible, but it was the picture of a strong, clear-cut face, with thick, wavy black hair just tingeing with gray, a drooping moustache, and long English whiskers.

Take the heavy-browed preoccupation of a Secretary of State, add the dignity of a bishop, the sunburn of a fox-hunter, and something of the disciplined erectness of a soldier, and you may perceive the manner of these four gentlemen.
I think the weak soul of the girl staggered from its dungeon, and groped through these heavy-browed hills, these colour-dreams, through the faces of dog or man upon the street, to find the God that lay behind.
