"Had he not," continued his Lordship, "a coarse blue coat, or gown, with a badge? was he not a tall, striking-looking old man, with grey beard and hair, who kept his body remarkably erect, and talked with an air of ease and independence, which formed a strong contrast to his profession?" "All this is an exact picture of the man," refumed Oldbuck.
Miss Betsey Holt was a striking-looking person, notwithstanding the oddness and shabbiness of her dress.
Wentworth stood beneath the azure portières, her long, bare arms outstretched, her lips parted in a half-smile of welcome, she was much more striking-looking than Keith's memory had recorded. As he gazed on her, the expression on his face testified his admiration. She came forward with the same gratified smile on her face and greeted him with formal words of welcome as Norman's old friend.
The stranger seemed suddenly to hesitate, wondering, apparently, what she had done this eccentric thing for. Hadria, feeling a presence behind her, turned nervously round and gave a slight start. It was so rare to meet anybody on these lonely hills, that the apparition of a striking-looking woman with white hair, dark eyes, and a strange exalted sort of expression, gave a shock of surprise.
They were rather striking-looking glasses, I always thought. I don't believe I ever saw another pair quite like them." "But," said Sharlee, puzzled, "do you find that you can see perfectly well without them?" "Oh, yes; if anything, better." He paused, and added with entire seriousness: "You see those spectacles, striking-looking as they were, were only window-glass.
"Good-night, mother," said the daughter. She went upstairs to her own good-sized bedroom, just over the pawnshop. She occupied the best bedroom in the house. She set her candle on her chest of drawers now, and sat down where she could see her handsome, striking-looking figure in the looking-glass.
While she was still coming across the grass of the Parks, a man in flannels, very white in the sun, came towards her from the gate for which she was making. He must have recognized her from a long way off. He was a striking-looking man of middle age, walking with a free yet indolent stride that carried him along much faster than it appeared to do.
Ah, here comes the Queen of Sheba." She broke off with a pleased smile as Ruth Levice approached on the arm of her cousin, Louis Arnold. Singly, each would have attracted attention anywhere; together they were doubly striking-looking. Arnold, tall and slight, carrying his head high, fair of complexion as a peachy-cheeked girl, was a peculiarly distinguished-looking man.
Hal's disclaimer had sufficient diplomatic warmth to banish her displeasure. She introduced to him as Dr. Merritt a striking-looking, gray-haired young man, who had come up at the same time with an anticipatory expression. This promptly vanished when she said offhandedly to him: "You've had three dances with me already, Hugh. I'm going to give this one to Mr. Surtaine if he wants it."
Did you expect to find him strolling arm-in-arm with me round the lobby? Here you are! Take him!" He was gone. And Archie, holding the bag, made his way to the lift. The bag squirmed gently in his grip. The only other occupant of the lift was a striking-looking woman of foreign appearance, dressed in a way that made Archie feel that she must be somebody or she couldn't look like that.
