It was just before the great flight, and I mind now that she was not so ill-looking even then, though she was well past her youth, and that was forty years ago. Tyr-connall's bag-pipe men were blowing as we marched to Lough Swilly, and two earls rode in front when the poor caillin rushed out and flung herself under Tyr-owen's horse oh, Mhuire as truagh, Mhuire as truagh for the old days!
"Na, na; there's mony a lad mair ill-looking than yoursel', Davie." "I hae na seen him, lass, and I'm just a-thinkin' I shouldna' care to." "Better a plain man, Davie, that ye can depend a' than ane that would be a speirin' at the lassies, a-bringin' trouble into the hame wi' his flouting ways."
I am sixteen years old, a marriageable girl, not ill-looking, not ill-made, starving, without a lover or the portion to buy one. What is to be done with me? What is to be the end of me?

"A parvenu, like that other ill-looking fellow who pranced on the left, with his fiery eyes and his black skin." "Oh! that one I do not care so much about; I do not know him, and I agree with your highness in disliking his looks." "Then you abandon him to me?" laughed the duchess. "Oh! yes, madame. What I said was only for your renown, and the morality of the party that we represent."

"Ah," said the father with bitterness, "it was all your fault, you ill-looking Bubber-lien. "Come, M'Clutchy I'll not bear this it's cursed ungenerous in you, when you know devilish well how successful I have been on the property." "Ay," said Val, "and what was the cause of that?
His Majesty cast his eyes about, and they fell on his plumed hat. Without a minute's consideration he loosened the diamond buckle. "Give her that," said he, "and tell her the King heartily agrees with her that Will Jackson's an ill-looking fellow."
