"I don't know what to think, sir," he admitted, "except that the murderer up till now has been extraordinarily lucky." "Either that or he was fiendishly clever," Mr. Weatherley agreed, pulling nervously at his little patch of gray sidewhiskers. "I wonder, now you've read the case, Chetwode?" "Every word of it," Arnold admitted. "Have you formed any idea yourself as to the motive?" Mr.
At one period of his life he wore a mustache and sidewhiskers, but he resumed shaving about 1825, when grey hair began to appear. His hair was auburn at first, and his complexion very white in his youth, but tanned after his long campaigns. His appearance evidenced frankness of character, and his body, spiritual energy. Bolivar was always a great reader.
One represented a dog's head, the other a bunch of white and yellow flowers with a cold background of steel beads. On the walls hung a few steel engravings; a meeting of Covenanters; portraits of unco' guid worthies with sidewhiskers or beards; and some tortured stags pursued or caught by hounds. "Terrible!" he groaned in spirit. "Who'd suppose that such things existed nowadays?"
He was a tall, curly-haired, thick-set fellow about forty with a purplish, rather bloated and flabby face, with cheeks that quivered at every movement of his head, with little bloodshot eyes that were sometimes rather crafty, with moustaches and sidewhiskers, and with an incipient double chin, fleshy and rather unpleasant-looking.
Let us rejoice that one such partisan was now at hand to stem the torrent of abuse.

Mr. Higbee well, well!" exclaimed Percival, cordially.
It was amazing to me that any one in the world should be so much interested in mere brushes until he actually began to make me feel that brushes were as interesting as anything else! What a strange, little, dried-up old fellow he was, with his balls of muttonchop sidewhiskers, his thick eyebrows, and his lively blue eyes! a man evidently not readily turned aside by rebuffs.
No man was safe also who did not give his face a leonine aspect by wearing a mustache and sidewhiskers emblems, the one of "federalism," and the other of "independence." To possess a visage bare of these hirsute adornments or a countenance too efflorescent in that respect was, under a regime of tonsorial politics, to invite personal disaster!
Moreover he seemed to detect in the protagonists a Roman simplicity pleasing to a good classic. Mr. Hamilton was sombrely but fashionably dressed and wore a gold eyeglass on a black ribbon, because he fancied that a monocle adroitly used was a formidable weapon in debate. He had neat small sidewhiskers, and a pleasant observant eye.
Frewen come and I thought of her story about his sidewhiskers how when his first wife died of information of the lungs he went courting Celia Ward, and Celia told him she wouldn't marry him unless he shaved them whiskers off. And he wouldn't, just to be stubborn.
'Here I am, William Dent! he cried, and drawing from his pocket two little wisps of reddish hair, he held them to his cheeks like sidewhiskers and danced about the studio with the filmy graces of a ballet-girl. Pitman laughed sadly. 'I should never have known you, said he. 'Nor were you intended to, returned Michael, replacing his false whiskers in his pocket.
