"Has not Reginald Gower grown more manly and older-looking since we saw him last?" she said, addressing her husband. A shade came over his face as he answered somewhat testily, "Oh, I think he looks well enough! Of course five years must have made him look older. But Reginald never was the favourite with me that he is with you, wife; a self-indulgent lad he always seems to me to be."
She was a fine, handsome-looking girl, and though younger in fact, was taller and older-looking than Ellen, but was not nearly so well shaped, as indolence, and the habit of being carried about instead of walking, had occasioned her to stoop, and to move as if her limbs were too weak to support her. The kindness and politeness with which she was received in the family of Mr.
There was one sad face among them; for even Arthur's home-coming could not quite chase the shadow that had fallen on Graeme since the night a year ago while she sat dreaming her dreams in the firelight. It was only a year or little more, but it might have been three, judging from the change in her. She was taller and paler, and older-looking since then.
Mother was a deal older-looking, and couldn't move about as well as she did. Aileen said she'd often sit out in the sun for an hour together and watch her walking up the garden, or putting up the calves, and carrying in the water from the creek, and say nothing. Sometimes she thought her mind was going a bit, and then again she'd seem as sensible as ever she was.
I was older-looking and more subdued like, and I'd got pretty grey in those few years that I'd been making a fool of myself; and, some how, I felt rather glad about it, because I reckoned she'd notice it first thing she was always quick at noticing things and forgive me all the quicker.
'And now, look at him! look at my father! Have not we made a good piece of work of keeping him abroad all the winter? Does not he look as well as ever he did in his life? This was rather strong, for Lord Ormersfield was somewhat grey, and a little bent; but he had resumed all his look of health and vigour, and was a great contrast to his younger, but far older-looking cousin.
"`Do you know that man? "`Not that I am aware of, I replied; `indeed I may say, certainly not; for once seen, such a man is not easily forgotten. A more villainous face I never beheld. "`You may well say so, said my friend. `I know that man too well; he nearly succeeded in taking my life at the diggings, he is somewhat older-looking, of course, but there is no mistaking him.
As he passed out he laid one trembling hand upon the head of the fair girl, now a blooming woman, and a softer shade came over his face. This the wicked woman noted, and she marked her disapproval by a vindictive frown. “She also was older-looking, but age had in no degree softened her features; on the contrary, they appeared to me to wear a harsher expression than before.
We were looking at one another and at these two children when there came into the room a very little girl, childish in figure but shrewd and older-looking in the face pretty-faced too wearing a womanly sort of bonnet much too large for her and drying her bare arms on a womanly sort of apron.
In spite of their care of her she grew thinner and older-looking every day, and although she quietly took her share of the work, she had become sad and silent caring little apparently for what was going on around her, and never indulging in those prolonged observations of an irrelevant nature, to which she had been addicted before her husband's disappearance.
