135. lappuse - Marley in his pigtail, usual waistcoat, tights and boots ; the tassels on the latter bristling, like his pigtail, and his coat-skirts, and the hair upon his head. The chain he drew was clasped about his middle. It was long, and wound about him like a tail ; and it was made of cash-boxes, keys, padlocks, ledgers,
74. lappuse - A town of red brick, or of brick that would have been red if the smoke and ashes had allowed it. A town of machinery and tall chimneys. It had a black canal in it, and a river that ran purple with ill-smelling dye.
298. lappuse - solitary as an oyster. The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shrivelled his cheek, stiffened his gait ; made his eyes red, his thin lips blue, and spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice.
86. lappuse - Had written a pamphlet of sixty-four pages, post octavo, on the character of the nurse's deceased husband in Romeo and Juliet.

192. lappuse - sideways between his shoulders, and the breath issuing in visible smoke from his mouth, as if he were on fire within. His throat, chin and eyebrows were so frosted with white hairs, and so gnarled with veins and puckered skin, that he looked, from his breast upward, like some root in a fall of snow.
304. lappuse - Although he could not have been less than eighteen or', nineteen years old, and was tall for that age, he wore a skeleton suit, such as is usually put upon very little boys, and which, though most absurdly short in the arms and legs, was quite wide enough for his attenuated frame.
