'Dormer, for instance, said Bobby, 'I think he comes under the head of fool-men. He mopes like a sick owl. 'That's where you make your mistake, my son. Dormer isn't a fool yet, but he's a dashed dirty soldier, and his room corporal makes fun of his socks before kit-inspection. Dormer, being two-thirds pure brute, goes into a corner and growls. 'How do you know? said Bobby admiringly.
She mopes; seems to take no healthy interest in anything, and, as a result, has no appetite; bursts out crying over the most trivial things such as the chance of you're being blown up by a submarine on the way home and frequently for no cause at all.
'He never speaks in this place; he never says a word in jail; he sits and mopes all day in his dark corner, dozing sometimes, and sometimes looking at the light that creeps in through the bars, and shines in his bright eye as if a spark from those great fires had fallen into the room and was burning yet. But who cares for Grip? The raven croaked again Nobody.
She's got most of the symptoms is twittery and cross, doesn't eat, lies awake, and mopes in corners. I caught her singing that song he gave her, and once she said 'John', as you do, and then turned as red as a poppy. Whatever shall we do?" said Jo, looking ready for any measures, however violent. "Nothing but wait.
"No, but you see Emily's come home from Fowler's a perfect nervous wreck," explained Miss Ella, "and; she can't be left alone for awhile, partly because her heart's not good, partly because she gets blue, and partly because, if she hasn't anyone to drive and walk and play tennis with, and so on, she simply mopes from morning until night.

She is Adlerstein herself by birth, married her cousin, and is prouder and more dour than our old Freiherr himself fitter far to handle shield than swaddled babe.

Now, the old Freiherr and her brother, they both dote on her, and would do anything for her.
This was, perhaps, due to the new poverty of Berlin. But it comprised merely a wall, a hole in the wall called the Tower of London, a platform on top of the wall called Tower Hill, carpeted stairs against the wall called the Court at Westminster.
