Albinia looked with her wistful piteous face at her brother as he took in his arms her noble-looking fair infant. 'You are a great fellow indeed, sir, said his uncle. 'Now if I were your mamma, I would be proud of you, rather than 'I am afraid! said Albinia, in a sudden low whisper. He looked at her anxiously.
They were shown readily enough, the chief looking proud and pleased with the eager examination and satisfaction expressed by his visitors, having first one and then another saddled for the friends to try, though, while showing a smiling face and making much of the various noble-looking brutes, there was a weary sickness about the young man's heart as he sought in vain for an opportunity to make himself known to the Emir's slave.
Why, that Spaniard had said more civil words to her in an hour than had Peter in two years, and he was handsome and noble-looking also; but then the Spaniard was a Spaniard, and other men were other men, whereas Peter was Peter, a creature apart, one who cared as little for women as he did for trade.

The showy livery of the officials, the loose, spacious, gorgeous uniforms of the officers, with the curved jewelled scimitars and white turbans, the rich silk robes of the Ulema, robe over robe of coloured silk with flowing sleeves and sumptuous silken vests, the ample dignity of noble-looking Arabs in immense white turbans, the dark straight Stambouli coat of the officials, made a picture of striking variety and colour and interest.
On one side of the spacious yard or lawn, in front of this building, stood, tied to a post, and impatiently pawing the ground, a noble-looking horse, equipped with a richly-caparisoned side-saddle; while near by, under the fence, sat, patiently smoking their pipes, three Indians, one of whom, as was evident by their contrasted bearing and accoutrements, was a chief, and the other two his attendants.
When their uncle mentioned the mastiff, Aralia and Pansy began to tremble for Veevee, but Tom only laughed.

Briton marched in first, and a bigger and more noble-looking fellow was never seen.
On their way they met Benoni coming to seek them, and with him won the steps which were already crowded with fugitives. The two boats of the galley drew near and in the bow of the first of them stood a tall and noble-looking figure. "It is Caleb," said Miriam, "Caleb who has come to save us." Caleb it was indeed.
Presently a noble-looking form entered the room, wrapped in a long cloak. Adrian bowed, and the form, after contemplating him earnestly very earnestly, if he had known the truth acknowledged the salute with dignity. Adrian cleared his throat and began to speak, whereon the sage stopped him.
Leger. A noble-looking thorough-bred has galloped by the winning-post at Epsom at the rate of forty miles an hour, with a white bandage tightly tied round one of its fore-legs: and thus publicly confessing its unsoundness, and testifying to its trainer's fears, it has beaten a score of steeds which were not screws, and borne off from them the blue ribbon of the turf.
