An impressionist portrait of a rather severe-looking young woman gave the public some idea of what the danseuse might be like in appearance, and the further information was added that her performance was the greatest dramatic event of the season.
Tony kissed his severe-looking cousin obediently, but his hopes of a playmate died there and then. "Elizabeth, I do not see her!" "No o; she has not come, Aunt Pike," said Kitty lamely. She felt absolutely incapable at that moment of giving any reason why Betty had absented herself, so she said no more. "Anna was particularly anxious to meet her cousin Elizabeth," continued Mrs. Pike.
The likenesses of Charles Lamb and Sydney Smith make them both very severe-looking men. Like marble, which in costume takes the appearance of the finest lace, so that it seems as if it would yield to the touch of a finger, their delicate fancies and sentiments were but the surface of a solid and thorough character.

Nipson sat at the tea-tray, with Mrs. Florence beside her. At the other end of the long board sat a severe-looking person, whom Lilly announced in a whisper as "that horrid Miss Jane." The meal was very simple, tea, bread and butter, and dried beef: it was eaten in silence; the girls were not allowed to speak, except to ask for what they wanted.

Stapleton, for a few days of psychical orgy. It was in her house, as much as in any in London, that the modern prophets were to be met with severe-looking women in shapeless dresses, little men and big, with long hair and cloaks; and it was in her drawing-room that tea and Queen cakes were dispensed to inquirers, and papers read and discussed when the revels were over.
Goodworth was thinking profoundly, the rain was falling inveterately, the fog was thickening dirtily, and the austerity of the severe-looking parlor was hardening apace into its most adamantine Sunday grimness, as Zack was brought to say his lesson at his father's knees.
Two groups were formed, one around the wretched Nathalie, who was still in her swoon, and the other around little Regina. And the different aspect of these two groups was rather strange. Around Nathalie were cold, solemn-looking men and women, fanning the fat, helpless lump with their handkerchief's or fans. A young but severe-looking Societaire was sprinkling her with drops of water.
But he was stopped, not by Poindexter, who had vanished from the scene, but by Felix, the cold, severe-looking boy who stood like a guard behind his sister. Reaching out a hand so white it was in itself a shock, he laid it in a certain prohibitory way on the pall, as if saying no.
He was informed the minister had just gone to his room. "Will you ask him to come down upon a matter of importance?" The maid invited him inside. In a few moments a tall, severe-looking man wearing a long dressing-coat entered the parlor. "Doctor McCullen, I regret disturbing you, but my business is urgent. I want to be married at once.
