I shall do this when I am bigger, and give ether to the sick, so they will go to sleep and not feel me cut off their legs and arms." "I know somebody who killed cats with it," called out Demi, but was promptly crushed by Dan, who upset his camp-stool and put a hat over his face. "I will not be interruckted," said Nan, frowning upon the unseemly scrimmagers.
The minds of sinners, alas! are easily influenced, and it is both unseemly and dangerous to gaze freely upon the carven semblance of the Lord's limbs!
Before the slovenly entrances of the huts here and there sat dirty, unseemly old men and women, who stared at the three strangers as they surveyed the uninviting picture before them. "I congratulate the emperor that he is not obliged to look upon this shocking scene," said Joseph.
At about noon-time we stopped in a shady valley in a sequestered village called Veyrac to rest our horses, and we seated ourselves at the foot of a chestnut tree. There we were attacked by the ducks of the place, the boldest and most ill bred in the world. They flocked around us in an unseemly manner, uttering shrill cries and quacking hideously.
This unseemly and insulting conduct filled Berenike with the deepest indignation.

Chip took the reins from the Old Man's hands, sprang in and drove back down the hill to the stables.

Any approach to such topics was the signal for an unseemly burst of passion on her part; or for a fit of hysterics, in which fashionable affectation Sibylla had lately become an adept. She tried Lionel terribly worse than tongue can tell or pen can write. There was no social confidential intercourse. Lionel could not go to her for sympathy, for counsel, or for comfort.
It seems a thousand pities that even college students rush into the presence of the Burning Bush in hobnailed shoes, shouting forth the college yell as they go. The man who is reverent disclaims everything that is cheap, or vulgar, or coarse, or unseemly. He is so essentially fine that the gaudy, the bizarre, and the intemperate, in whatever form, grate upon his sensibilities.
Secrets that few would like to scrutinise were bred and hidden in mountains of unseemly rags, masses of corrupted fat, and sepulchres of bones.
