The month was January, 1702, and King William the Third sat upon the throne. In the room, in addition to the dancing master, were the lad he was teaching, an active, healthy-looking boy between fifteen and sixteen; his partner, a bright-faced French girl of some twelve years of age; and an old man, nearer eighty than seventy, but still erect and active, who sat in a large armchair, looking on.
She bowed to one and another, in passing, and her color rose. They could not altogether restrain their guiltily curious gaze, and Isabel knew she had been talked over. She was a healthy-looking girl, with clear blue eyes and a quantity of soft brown hair.
The carriage containing the travellers stopped almost in front of him, and their consternation and annoyance at the extent of their reception were plainly visible. Bronzed and healthy-looking, they stepped out on to the platform, and after a brief greeting to Mrs. Chalk and Mrs. Stobell led the way in some haste to the exit.
Of course, he hopes that his father will be at work, soon; for when the old man stops working the younger man will very likely have to go to work himself." "You don't mean, doctor, that that big, healthy-looking fellow is supported by his father?" gasped Dick Prescott. "That's just what I mean," nodded the man of medicine. "Why, I didn't suppose that old Mr. Hinman earned much."
At the shrine of the Saint Nizam-ud-din, near Humayun's Tomb, I found them but there they were healthy-looking youths and again at Fatehpur-Sikri. But for this sporadic diving, the wrestling bouts which are common everywhere, the Nautch and the jugglers, India seems to have no pastimes.

He was a strong young man, bearded, healthy-looking, with wide shoulders, narrow mind, and joyous disposition. They had been united through financial motives which she knew nothing about. She would willingly have said No. She said Yes, with a movement of the head, in order not to thwart her father and mother. She was a Parisian, gay, and full of the joy of living.
"I never saw this country till Monday, and never want to see it again." "From what are you running away then?" skeptically. "I am running away from a man who slapped me in the face," bitterly; and all his wrongs returned to him. "Indeed!" derisively. "Yes, I!" He thrust out both his great arms miserably. "I'm a healthy-looking individual, am I not, to be running away from anything?"
It was simply but tastefully furnished, and wore an air of retired, domestic comfort. There were books, engravings, and musical instruments. Above all, there were four happy, healthy-looking children, pursuing studies or sports at the farther end of the room. After a short call they regained the street. "Dallas, you are a happy man," said Mr. L.; "that family will be a mine of jewels to you."
