This was a little wiry terrier, with dark piercing eyes, that glanced quickly and sagaciously in all quarters from beneath the shaggy covert that surrounded them.
Yet it contains one stretch of superlative beauty a short defile or canon, I mean, formed of two opposing precipices with a chasm of some thirty yards between them; they wind and curve, parallel to one another, with such magisterial accuracy that one would think they had been designed with mighty compasses from on high, and then carved out, sagaciously, by some titanic blade.
Spread Eagle replied with the air of one who knew more than he altogether liked to tell; and looking suspiciously amongst the strange faces lit up by the light of the carriage lamps "Why, sir, there have been ugly stories afloat; I cannot deny it; and sometimes, you know, sir," winking sagaciously, to which a knowing nod of assent was returned, "it may not be quite safe to tell all one knows.

He isn't troubled with malaria, and yet the longer he lives here the sallower-looking and sadder-looking he gets.
She has great sweetness and self-containment in her small, wrinkled, yellowish face; always quietly polite and grave, she bubbles deliciously at any joke, and gives affection sagaciously to those who merit.
