Now that illness had sharpened the outlines of Wendot's face, had reduced his fine proportions, and had given to him something of the hollow-eyed wistfulness of expression which Griffeth had so long worn, this likeness became so remarkable that few in the castle knew one brother from the other.
But on the wings of fancy this child would fly far, too far all wistfulness and warmth beneath that light veneer of absurd composure.
The wild eyes lost some of their glitter in a look of wistfulness, as he pondered a moment the one sweet memory in a wasted life, a life wrecked over thirty years ago wrecked wantonly by that same Ostermore of whom they spoke, who had been his friend. A groan broke from his lips.
On his massive face there was the smile, at once buoyant and contained, of a strong man satisfied with himself. Something impelled her to rise, and to put a certain wistfulness of enquiry into her answering smile. "Your headache is better then?" she asked him. He looked puzzled for a moment, then laughed lightly. "Oh yes," he answered.
"One moment!" he said. "Eustace, we are not going to quarrel over this. You don't imagine, do you, that I interfere with you in this way for my own pleasure?"

He looked at her with an odd wistfulness. "Because I'm too big an oaf to make you understand," he said. "And that is why you have set me free?" she questioned. He bent his head, almost as if the sudden question embarrassed him. "Yes, that," he said after a moment. "And because I care too much about you to marry you against your will." "And you call that love?" she said.
He took check and note to her room and placed them on her purse to the tune of her snoring, looked at her with a certain wistfulness for the mothering he had never received from her, and went away. He climbed out of the house as he had climbed in, and cut across lots until he had reached a street some distance from his own neighborhood.
They entered, and when Anderson had unlocked his box and taken out his mail, and Charlotte had gotten some letters which looked like bills for her father, he realized the he had no excuse to go any farther with her.
