In his earnestness he once turned his eyes on Edward's face: their expression was woful: the pupils were dilated and strange in aspect. 'If she will only agree to that! he reiterated for the hundredth time, increasing the sadness of his listeners. An aristocratic knocking came to the door, and Jane entered with a letter, addressed 'MR. EDWARD SPRINGROVE, Junior.
It strikes me as a woful waste of time, and rather unprecedented too, that we should suspend all rules and listen to the talk of an entire stranger." "I do not venture to doubt the wisdom of Solomon," said Johnson, dryly, "but I must say that the gentleman's remarks rather interest me." "Of course they do," ejaculated Solomon. "He agreed with you.

As usual, Leporello is dissatisfied with his service and accuses the Don with being a rascal. Threats of punishment bring back his servile manner, and Don Giovanni is about to acquaint him of a new conquest, when a lady, Donna Elvira, comes upon the scene. She utters woful complaints of unhappiness and resentment against one who had won her love, then deceived and deserted her.
At prayer she knelt as meekly, and with as much apparent devotion as she had ever done in the days of her most rational and earnest piety.

I once saw a picture of 'The Knight of the Woful Countenance' the K. of the W. C. looked exactly as you look now! If you're thinking of strychnine, say so no one shall oppose you. My only regret is, that I shall have to wear black, and hideous is a mild word to describe Edith Darrell in black." "Hideous!" Charley repeated, "you!

I forget what sea-sickness is now: though it occupies a woful portion of my Journal.
But is not the bringing in of the 'reward' as a motive a woful downcome? and is love that loves for the sake of reward, love at all?
