The young swell didn't seem to care about dirtying his trotter-cases; he kept slashing about with his cane, and staring at all the gals. What an ass that masher is! Wouldn't I have liked to have punched his head! If you ever want to hide him, daddy, please think of yours truly. He wouldn't stand up to me for five minutes."
"Go on, my lad; go on."
"Well, we had waited half an hour, when all at once a woman came sharp round the corner, and stops before the masher. Wasn't she a fine gal! and hadn't she a pair of sparklers! but she had awfully seedy togs on.英文原著 · 《Caught In The Net》
It was Mr. Tollemache. He has chambers in Lincoln's Inn. "Ever devotedly yours,
"ARTHUR WARDLAW."
Helen was touched with this letter, and put it away indorsed with a few words of gratitude and esteem; and copied it into her diary, and remarked: "This is one more warning not to judge hastily. Arthur's agitation was probably only great emotion at the sudden mention of one whose innocence he believes, and whose sad fate distresses him."

In spite of his preoccupation, Stephen could not help noticing how very worn his brother looked. "You look quite seedy, old boy," he said. "Will you have some brandy?"
Hilary shook his head. "Now that you've got Thyme back," he said, "I'd better let you know my news. I'm going abroad to-morrow.英文原著 · 《Fraternity》
Clothes have more effect upon us than we imagine. Our deportment depends upon our dress. Make a man get into seedy, worn-out rags, and he will skulk along with his head hanging down, like a man going out to fetch his own supper beer. But deck out the same article in gorgeous raiment and fine linen, and he will strut down the main thoroughfare, swinging his cane and looking at the girls as perky as a bantam cock.英文原著 · 《Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow》
