One's quite frozen and the other's an awful swaggerer.
War and Peace by Tolstoy, Leo View in context
He was a man obviously on the way towards sixty, very florid and hairy, with much gray in his bushy whiskers and thick curly hair, a stoutish body which showed to disadvantage the somewhat worn joinings of his clothes, and the air of a swaggerer, who would aim at being noticeable even at a show of fireworks, regarding his own remarks on any other person's performance as likely to be more interesting than the performance itself.
Middlemarch by Eliot, George View in context
The hero, if one may call him so, who gives his name to the play, is a vain, silly swaggerer.
English Literature For Boys And Girls by Marshall, H.E. View in context
