For the Peacock's cousin was become one of the most beautiful birds in the world. But the poor Crow was now a sombre, black bird, wearing the seedy-looking, inky coat which we know so well to-day. His heart was broken by his friend's faithlessness, and he became a sour cynic who can see no good in anything. He flies about crying "Caw!
I should never have doubted it, but Morrison was always so careful about his appearance, and this fellow was such a seedy-looking individual. I called out to him and he vanished like a streak." "It could scarcely have been Morrison," Laverick said. "He sailed several days ago for New York." "That settles it," the man declared, passing on.
There was one voice with a squeak in it like a rusty wheel that I had certainly never heard before. It seemed we had made some prisoners. There were three seedy-looking camels kneeling over by Grim's tent, and three almost as seedy-looking individuals were talking to Grim in the midst of our camp, with most of our gang seated in a semicircle listening.
Ambrose to himself, the squire's best course would be to stay quietly at home until the danger was passed, and to pass word to Policeman Gall to lay hands on any particularly seedy-looking tramps he happened to see in the village. It was Gall's duty to do so in any case, as he had been warned to be on the look-out. Mr. Ambrose inwardly wondered where the man could be hiding.
"I'm Colonel Stoneman, an old soldier." The Mississippian stretched forth his hand. "My name is Langdon, sir Senator Langdon of Mississippi. I am an old soldier, too."

Langdon's easy method of making friends was well illustrated as he clapped his new companion on the back.
Parachute, you may kick, old girl, but you won't get rid of that child!" And sure enough "The Baby" sat like a rock, with a grim smile, and preserving throughout a silence and sang froid which nothing seemed able to overcome. Two more seedy-looking animals made up the entry.
Clad in greasy and seedy-looking cowls, the priests go through a few nonsensical manosuvres, consisting chiefly of an ostentatious affectation of reverence toward an altar covered with tattered drapery, by never turning their backs toward it while they walk about, Bible in hand, mumbling and sighing. My self-constituted guide and myself comprise the whole congregation during the "services."
After all, it was the business of clergymen to talk to seedy-looking men, and they might be seen engaged in the most earnest and confidential conversation and he would suffer no loss of caste. Sam Stay looked at the black coat and the white collar in doubt. "How long have you been a clergyman, Mr. Milburgh?" he asked. "Oh er for a little while," said Mr.
"Well, Mrs. " she began. "Mrs. Trenchard is my name," said Maggie, blushing in spite of herself at the long scrutiny. "I 'ope you're not reproaching anybody with neglect of the gentleman." She had an action, as she talked, of flinging a very seedy-looking black boa back across her neck vindictively.
I accordingly presented myself as directed, and was shown, by a somewhat seedy-looking old woman who evidently looked upon me with considerable suspicion into a small room in the front of the house, where, seated at a writing-table, I found the subject of this sketch.
