It was an ugly-looking place for landing, trenches and shell-holes everywhere. I was wondering in a vague way whether they were French or German, when I fell into the most restful sleep I've ever had in my life. I have no recollection of the crash, not the slightest. I might have fallen as gently as a leaf. That is one thing to be thankful for among a good many others.
"I knew a man once, Miss," said Ann, "as used to prefer to 'ave it in a wash-hand basin. Odd, ugly-looking man 'e was; like Mr. Wilks in the face, only better-looking." Mr. Wilks sat upright and, in the mental struggle involved in taking in this insult in all its ramifications, did not notice until too late that Miss Nugent had filled his glass again.
The wind, which had been little more than a steady breeze during the morning, now met us in frequent gusts, which made us raise our hands to our hats. A few ugly-looking black clouds on the horizon had come up and obscured the sun, threatening not only to shut out his rays, but to break over the bay in a heavy downpour of rain.
"The queen needn't be ashamed to live in such a beautiful building as that." Though Frank did not know it, one of the queen's palaces is far from being as fine a looking building as the Fifth Avenue Hotel.

"That settles the question," said I. "But now let's look at the canoe." On examining it, we found several ugly-looking cracks, which, had we launched it, would have admitted the water in an inconvenient manner.
We walked on rapidly, fully expecting, as they had loads, that we should quickly overtake them. John was a little ahead of me, when suddenly I saw him take a tremendous leap along the path.

In his hand was an ugly-looking, smokeless, soundless automatic of the Essen type. "And I've got another one for you. Brought them with me." His face was white and drawn, but his hands had steadied. The tremble was gone out of his voice. "I'm going after him, George! Now! Understand that? Now? His place is only thirty miles from here, out there in the mountains.
