"What are you a-grumbling here about, my man? gotten the cholera?" asked one of the dragoons, a huge, stupid-looking lad. "About you, you young long-legged cut-throat," answered Crossthwaite, "and all your crew of traitors." "Help, help, coomrades o' mine!" quoth the dragoon, bursting with laughter; "I'm gaun be moorthered wi' a little booy that's gane mad, and toorned Chartist."
The farmer bustled in and out, greeting some of us as old friends, summoning Alice, the maid-of-all-work a down-trodden, stupid-looking girl of fourteen to make up the fire and get the kettle boiling, and putting his head into the doorway, "just to tell the missus," as he ushered us in.
"Now I'm glad we're in the same watch," he said. "So many men just cut a fellow off with a curse." I observed him more sharply, and saw that he was a stupid-looking but rather kindly soul whose hair was just turning gray. "Now I wish you could see that little girl of mine," he continued. "Cute? there ain't no word to tell you how cute she is. All a-laughing and gurgling and as good as gold.
Navvies of every nation; tall, brawny Scotchmen; jolly-looking Irishmen, their faces a mixture of pity for our misfortune and enjoyment of the "fun;" stumpy little French Canadians; solemn, stupid-looking Icelanders and Mennonites. Carriere was there on his crutches.
Twelfth Night. It was evening when Mr Henry Morton perceived an old woman, wrapped in her tartan plaid, supported by a stout, stupid-looking fellow, in hoddin-grey, approach the house of Milnwood. Old Mause made her courtesy, but Cuddie took the lead in addressing Morton.
Even the stupid-looking ostrich has heart enough to die for love, as was the case with a male in the Rotund of the Jardin des Plantes, who, having lost his mate, pined rapidly away." Among social and communal animals the sentiment of sympathy widens to embrace all the members of the tribe, a characteristic which is very strongly manifested in so low an organism as the ant.
"It is no secret at least, no secret from us, but a secret from the people here. I will speak in French; no doubt there are plenty of spies about." "There is no one in hearing," the major said, "except those two stupid-looking lads, munching bread and cheese." "The more likely to be spies," Von Rausen said. "Fellows who look like fools are just the people chosen."
"What's a-doing now?" asked Bascroft, a stupid-looking man with red hair combed straight down his forehead, and coloured shirt-sleeves, surveying the inroad on his premises with surprise. "Never you mind," sharply reproved his better half. "These ladies is my visitors, and if I choose to stand treat round, what's that to you? You takes your share o' liquor, Bascroft."
The "Dutchman," being a breechloader, was ready again, and we fired into this stupid-looking brute as though he had been a target, and with about the same effect. Suddenly, as though we had just awakened him, he turned round and bolted into a dense mass of thorns, about thirty paces before us.
The widow Vasilisa, a tall, fat old woman in a man's coat, was standing by and looking thoughtfully into the fire; her daughter Lukerya, a little pock-marked woman with a stupid-looking face, was sitting on the ground, washing a caldron and spoons. Apparently they had just had supper. There was a sound of men's voices; it was the labourers watering their horses at the river.
