The ambling piebald looked so crestfallen and woebegone in all the swaddling-clothes in which Leather had got him enveloped, that Mr. Sponge did not care to look at the gallant Hercules, who occupied a temporary loose-box at the far end of the dark stable, lest he might look worse. He, therefore, just mounted Multum-in-Parvo as Leather led him out at the door, and set off without a word.
Dick, however, braved it out, but grew more and more yellow and woebegone. "This won't do," observed papa; "it's fortunate that we have a port under our lee. Up helm, ease away the main sheet. We'll let the Dolphin know that we are running for Peterhead." The Dolphin followed our example; and away we went, careering on before the fast-rising seas.
He felt as if the world were not quite so bad with such a good man in it. Others seemed to feel like himself about this. "Captain's a great feller, ain't he?" said the man ahead a little, woebegone, helpless-looking sort of individual, who looked as though he had ever been the sport and care of fortune. "Yes," said Hurstwood, indifferently.
"I will appear if you wish it," I said amidst sobs. "But no time remains for proper preparation." Under my breath I muttered, "I will fill up the sheets with your teachings in answer to the questions!" When I entered the hermitage the following day at my usual hour, I presented my bouquet with a certain mournful solemnity. Sri Yukteswar laughed at my woebegone air.
She only said: "'Twasn't your fault, miss, that you ain't almost dead yourself.... I'll get a dish with some water.... You need it as much as the cat." It was Bobbie who brought from Peggy a fierce ejaculation. He was standing in the middle of the floor with fluttering hands, a woebegone expression on his upturned face. "My stars're goin' out," he whimpered. "I want to touch my Jinnie."
"Doing what?" said the master, repressing a smile at Jimmie's woebegone face. "Just-just that!" and Jimmie touched gingerly with the point of his finger the bows of Betsy Dan's apron-strings. "Oh, I see. You were annoying Elizabeth while she was reading. No wonder she found it difficult. Now, do you think that was very nice?" Jimmie twisted himself into a semicircle. "N-o-o." "Come here, James!"
And, lo! before many days I am startled by hearing Lucia sing—woebegone Lucia. She sings to no tune whatever and smiles at me, “Sunbeam, Sunbeam, Sunbeam, Sunbeam.” So she has learned one English word in sixteen years. That is better in quality than German Tessie did. She told me, at the candy factory, that the first thing she learned in English was “son of a gun.”
Nobody had taken it off, for both the train men and the passengers were excitedly discussing what his presence here might mean; and some of them seemed afraid of the great fellow. But Ruth had been used to dogs, and this noble looking fellow had no terrors for her. He seemed so woebegone, his great brown eyes pleaded so earnestly, that she could only pity and fondle him.
Meanwhile Pietro abode, as woebegone as could be, in the oak, and towards the season of the first sleep, he saw a good score of wolves appear, which came all about his hackney, as soon as they saw him. The horse, scenting them, tugged at his bridle, till he broke it, and would have fled, but being surrounded and unable to escape, he defended himself a great while with his teeth and his hoofs.
There ladies ask vows, and protestations, and despair, ay, and poetry, and rhapsodies, and I know not what." "Of all these I have nothing but despair," said I. "Then you make a sad lover," she pouted. "And I am glad to be going where lovers are less woebegone." "You look for lovers in London?" I cried, I that had cried to Barbara well, I have said my say on that.
