10.1 wistful

10.1 wistful
I found this word in the book A Cricket in Times Square by George Selden, that I am reviewing to see if I want my students to read it.

1. Full of wishful yearning.
2. Pensively sad; melancholy.
 
It is an interesting word that is not often used and it has a descriptive meaning.  You can envision the expression of a person who is wistful.
