The mother-child vanished up the narrow stairs, and the agent sighed. A strong-built, leathery-skinned man in a brown suit and leggings, with a bristly little moustache and yellow whites to his eyes, he did not, as he had said to his wife that morning, 'like the job a little bit. And while he stood there waiting, Susie and Billy emerged from the kitchen and came to stare at him.
It was one of them nasty steeplechase meetings that laid him up." "Do 'e drink?" "He's never drunk, but he takes too much. Spirits don't suit him. He thought he could do what he liked, great strong-built fellow that he is, but he's found out his mistake." "He does his betting in London now, I suppose?" "Yes," said Esther, hesitating "when he has any to do.

A strong-built man, plainly attired, earnest, and not so given to flights of violent fancy as some preachers, had charge of the pulpit during our visit.

He was an Englishman, a veritable cockney, about nineteen or twenty years of age, a strong-built and rather good-looking young man. His countenance, although intelligent, was not prepossessing; there was a sort of nameless expression about the eye which repelled confidence and invited suspicion.
The portraits of Cagliostro, of which a number are extant, are pictures of a strong-built, bull-necked, fat, gross man, with a snub nose, a vulgar face, a look of sensuality and low hypocritical cunning.
"There are many, and here is one," said he, turning to the young count, who stood behind him a fine youth, tall, strong-built, well-spoken, with blond hair and dark, keen eyes.
