We had just beaten through a most hopeful-looking covert without success and had come out on to a beautiful open grassy glade which stretched away for some distance ahead of us, when I noticed a big herd of wildebeeste browsing quietly some distance to our right. I knew that Brock also wanted a wildebeeste, so I whistled softly to him, and pointed out the weird-looking, bison-like antelopes.
These I reserved to take an early opportunity of reading, but replaced for the present, and, having come at last upon one hopeful-looking key, I made haste to return before my candle, which was already flickering in the socket, should go out altogether, and leave me darkling. When I reached the kitchen, however, I found the grey dawn already breaking.
"Well," remarked Seaton as they were again in space, "we've got enough copper to visit several more worlds several more solar systems, if necessary. But there's a nice, hopeful-looking planet right in front of us. It may be the one we're looking for." Arrived in the belt of atmosphere, they tested it as before, and found it satisfactory. The Mastery of Mind Over Matter
I knew a boy once who grew so fast that his mother always kept him wearing shoes three sizes too large, and big, hopeful-looking coats and trousers. Except for a few moments a year he never caught up. Nobody ever saw that boy and his long shoes when he was not butting bravely about, stubbing his toes on the world and turning up his sleeves.
He sets out with a few provisions, a rifle, a pick and shovel, at all events, with a pan and large knife; and on reaching some hopeful-looking locality, he makes experiments on the soil by washing. The considerations that determine his calling the company to the spot are of course influenced by the circumstance of their having a common or a quicksilver cradle.
How they passed themselves off for gentlemen, we are at a loss to comprehend. During the day, the Messrs. Dusenberry and Dunn may be seen at times watching about the wharves, and again in low grog-shops then pimping about the "Dutch beer-shops and corner-shops" picking up, here and there, a hopeful-looking nigger, whom they drag off to limbo, or extort a bribe to let him go.
