Altogether I must have been the most sorry-looking, if not revolting specimen of a spy ever arraigned before that immaculate Tribunal. It is useless to relate the trial in extenso because there were so many details which were completely void of interest except to me and my judges.
Quoth Robin Hood, "Yon is verily a sorry-looking gallant, and doth seem to have donned ill-content with his jerkin this morning; nevertheless, I will out and talk with him, for there may be some pickings here for a hungry daw. Methinks his dress is rich, though he himself is so downcast. Bide ye here till I look into this matter."
When we handed the tramp his quarter, I remarked: "We will divide equally with you, which is the best we can do." He thanked us, and passed out of the store, when a very sorry-looking individual with a deacon-fied appearance who stood by said: "Young man, I think you make a mistake by giving such characters money. How do you know what he will do with it?
"Stay," he said; "my beast is a sorry-looking jade, but I have a regard for the animal, and always make a rule of seeing her fed; so you will excuse me, Squire, while I go round, and I will join you presently.
The cayote is a long, slim, sick and sorry-looking skeleton, with a gray wolf-skin stretched over it, a tolerably bushy tail that forever sags down with a despairing expression of forsakenness and misery, a furtive and evil eye, and a long, sharp face, with slightly lifted lip and exposed teeth. He has a general slinking expression all over. The cayote is a living, breathing allegory of Want.
Dear knows how it got there or when; it looks as if it had been in a shipwreck." She produced a stained and sorry-looking missive from her bag. "You can just make out the address, the postmark is quite gone," she added, laying it in her companion's lap. "You haven't missed an important letter, have you?" "Not that I know of," Margaret Elizabeth replied with a laugh that was a bit unsteady.
More commonplace even than her homespun frock was the steed that carried her a sorry-looking animal, that resembled the skeleton of a horse with the skin left on! There was no saddle scarce the semblance of one. A piece of bear-skin, strapped over the back with a rough thong, did service for a saddle; and the little feet hung loosely down without step or stirrup.
He is a sorry-looking scoundrel, and I took particular note of him, especially the horrible smashed thumb." "The what!" Bell exclaimed. "A thumb like a snake's head with a little pink nail on it?" "The same man. So you happen to have met him?" "We met on our way here," Bell said, drily.
Water gave out too, and starvation was a welcome state: our hunger was so much less disagreeable than our thirst that it was a real treat. However, we got to Benton, Heaven knows how and why, but we were a sorry-looking lot, though our scalps were intact.
"Counsel has a right to call the boy as a witness," said the judge, dispassionately, "and to put him on the stand at once. Let him be sworn." Ralph pushed his way up to the witness-stand, and the officer administered the oath. He was a sorry-looking witness indeed. At any other time or in any other place, his appearance would have been ludicrous. But now no one laughed.
