The old-fashioned and heavy chairs the brown wainscot walls the little cupboard recessed as it were to the right of the fire-place, and piled with morsels of Indian china and long taper wine glasses the small window-panes set deep in the wall, giving a dim view of a bleak and melancholy-looking garden in the rear yea, the very floor he trod the very table on which he leant the very hearth, dull and fireless as it was, opposite his gaze all took a familiar meaning in his eye, and breathed a household voice into his ear.
But contrary to expectation the rustic declined to converse. He was a melancholy-looking man with a long jaw and eyes so deep-set that the observer took them on faith, and a nose which alone would have been sufficient to identify him. Beyond the first request to "step up," he vouchsafed no word and, save for an inarticulate gurgle to his horse, seemed lost in an ageless calm.
After a time this becomes fixed, and requires a difficult surgical operation to restore it to its place." It struck me that, in spite of their boast that they have no paupers, no thieves, no money, they were a melancholy-looking set of beings. "What are their amusements?" I asked. "Intoxication and suicide are their chief recreations.
We put up for the night at Clackmannan, a very decayed and melancholy-looking village, though it possessed a fine specimen of the Scottish castellated tower. It is said that Robert Bruce slept here before the Battle of Bannockburn. But the most interesting thing that I saw during the journey was the Devon Ironworks.
As a last hope, he was removed from his fourth floor in the Place Valois, to become an inmate of the Bicêtre, and a domiciled subject of contention and experiment to its medical staff.

The man reappeared with his lantern, leading by a rope a melancholy-looking horse, evidently being led out against his inclination. The hostler placed him beside the pole, fastened the traces, and spent some time in walking round him to make sure that the harness was all right; for he could use only one hand, the other being engaged in holding the lantern.
"But where is our gracious hostess?" added Lord Walterton, a melancholy-looking young man with pale-colored eyes and lashes, and a narrow chest. "You are thrice welcome, my lord!" said Editha de Chavasse, whose elegant figure now detached itself from amongst her guests.
Rochester at once harsh-featured and melancholy-looking. I saw them smile, laugh it was nothing; the light of the candles had as much soul in it as their smile; the tinkle of the bell as much significance as their laugh.

Of late years I have not met with any having been perpetrated with that motive. Noticing a delicate, melancholy-looking young man opposite to us, I enquired who he was. "O! I pity that man very much," said my friend. "He has got a sentence of twenty-one years' penal servitude, and is as innocent of the crime as the child unborn." "How do you know he is innocent?" I asked, in amazement.
Even the somewhat melancholy-looking steward, who had been waiting for his arrival, cheered up at the sight of his beaming face, and the other four occupants of the table returned his salutation according to their lights.
