That world where one jostled and strove, where one made so many unwilling mistakes, where one laboured so unprofitably, was it not, after all, an ugly place?

From one cache, which he had already pointed out, three hundred francs had been recovered, and it was expected that he would presently disgorge the rest.

That gentleman seemed to be once more obstructing the path of Good Indian. He dodged back as Grant brushed past him. "By the great immortal Jehosaphat!" swore Baumberger, with an ugly leer in his eyes, "I never knew before that I was so small I couldn't be seen with the naked eye!" "You're so small in my estimation that a molecule would look like a hay-stack alongside you!"
My first impressions of her were of a rather ugly and ungainly, extraordinarily interesting schoolgirl with a beautiful quick flush under her warm brown skin, who said and did amusing and surprising things.
