"The late Sir Denis, the father of the man whom he supposed me to be, was Michael Dilwyn's closest friend. They, too, have paid a heavy price for their patriotism or their rebellious instincts, whichever way you choose to look at the matter." "I think," Katharine declared, "that Mr. Dilwyn is the most picturesque-looking man I ever saw.
Just at our feet was one of the frail and picturesque-looking pine bridges spanning the torrent; while just below it another mountain river came tumbling down, and, joining with its dashing friend, they both rolled on in life together.
These garments the party proceeded to assume; and we were quickly transformed into as picturesque-looking a crowd as any that ever figured at a masquerade ball. As for myself, I made a very tolerable representation of Falstaff; while Richard, Othello, Macbeth, Hamlet, Shylock, and other gentlemen of Shakespeare's creation, gave variety to the procession.
The young women wear little caps trimmed with lace, and the men broad-brimmed picturesque-looking hats: both have shoes and stockings.

My father is an Oriental scholar, Mr. Burton, but he is also interested in modern things." Burton held out his hand. "I try to understand London," he said. "It is enough for me. I know nothing about Assyria." Mr. Cowper was a picturesque-looking old gentleman, with kind blue eyes and long white hair. "It is quite natural," he assented.

In the afternoon a little cavalcade of wild, picturesque-looking men dashed down upon us in true Mongol style, trailing the lasso poles as they galloped.
