It consisted of the framework of a substantial-looking hut, of a different shape to that usually made by the natives; but no marked trees were found, nor anything more seen to confirm the supposition.
"Well, let's try again," remarked the ship-broker. "I know I can suit you." Another reference to the index, then a sudden sharp closing of the book, with the muttered ejaculation, "The very thing! What a donkey I am not to have thought of her before." Then a single stroke on the bell, followed by the reappearance of the substantial-looking clerk.
As she stood still for a moment, in the midst of the dispersing crowd, looking scared and dazed enough very likely, she once more attracted the attention of the little girl who had been kneeling near her in the church, and who now pointed her out to her parents, good, substantial-looking bourgeois. "Comme elle a l'air drôle," said the child, "with her hair all rough, and that old cotton frock!"
The people about the streets in Ennis, however, seemed to me much more effervescent and hot in tone than the Dublin people are and this on both sides of the question. One very decent and substantial-looking man, when I told him I was an American, assured me that "if it was not for the soldiers, the people of Ennis would clear the police out of the place."
Suddenly turning a sharp bend in the road, I saw through the trees a clearly-defined, substantial-looking cloud was it a cloud, though? and rushing forward a dozen paces, lo and behold! one of the highest mountain-summits on the globe stood unveiled before me! I confess never in my travels to have experienced like sensations of awe and reverence.
The goods and chattels of the Irish appeared to consist principally of numerous red-haired, unruly children, and ragged-looking bundles tied round with rope. The Germans were generally ruddy and stout, and took as much care of their substantial-looking, well-corded, heavy chests as though they contained gold.
Yes, it was lonesome, as the old man said, but a big, substantial-looking place. Rachel's place! And Rachel had "lots o' money" and as to her health and well-being, why the sight of her on that cart was enough.
Seen at a distance of a couple of hundred yards, the appearance was that of a beautiful pearly-white cloud resting upon the earth. Many fogs had I seen, but never one like this, so substantial-looking, so sharply defined, standing like a vast white wall or flat-topped hill at the foot of the green sunlit slope!
"I hope Lucas will get upon one of his everlasting talks with father," said Hugh. "And that it will hold till we get home," said Fleda. "It will be the happiest use Lucas has made of his tongue in a good while." Just as they stopped before a substantial-looking farm-house a man came from the other way and stopped there too, with his hand upon the gate.
Jonas's estate by his sons and some of their friends. It was market day in Oundle, and I had the pleasure of sitting down to dinner with a large company of farmers and cattle and corn- dealers. They were intelligent, substantial-looking men, with no occupational peculiarity of dress or language to distinguish them from ordinary middle-class gentlemen engaged in trade or manufacture.
