She had no deep sense of reverence for old, staid manners and customs. Many a long lecture had Madam Schuyler delivered to Kate upon her unseemly ways. It did not please her to think of having to go through it all so soon again, therefore upon her usually complacent brow there came a look of dismay. “Why!” exclaimed the visitor, “is this the bride? How tall she looks! No!
My face fairly tingled, and I heard Nick laughing with unseemly merriment. "Ah, Mademoiselle," he cried, "you are a judge of character, and you have read him perfectly." "Then I must leave you, Messieurs," she answered, with her eyes in her lap. But she made no move to go. "You need have no fear of Mr. Ritchie, Mademoiselle," answered Nick, instantly.
We live amidst the soft mild glories of eternal light; we cheer ourselves with the richest and most glorious hopes, and we spend our lives in the grandest contemplations and the noblest occupations the heart of man can conceive. The vainest of all vain things, the most unseemly and revolting of all forms of pride, is the pride of disbelief in God and immortality.
I know him; and if, against his solemn oath, he has dared an unseemly look or word if he has touched you profanely you may choose the dog's death he shall die, and I will give it him. For that I wear this dagger. See!"
Volodya saw only a fat, plain face, distorted by an expression of repulsion, and he himself suddenly felt a loathing for what had happened. "I must go away, though," said Nyuta, looking at Volodya with disgust. "What a wretched, ugly . . . fie, ugly duckling!"

Veiled in whose sweet majesty Fables please the human mind. But, as year rolls after year, These fictitious charms decline; Then, O man, with holy fear, Write and speak of things divine. Of the heavenly natures say Nought unseemly, or profane Hearts that worship and obey, Are preserved from guilty stain."
But I wrestled with my soul then and there, and put my pride in my pocket and told Dinky-Dunk I didn't give a rip what kind of a car I rode in so long as I had such a handsome chauffeur. And I reached out and patted him on the knee, but he was too deep in his worries about business matters, I suppose, to pay any attention to that unseemly advance.
Every cellar and room and garret, every little alley and hidden rookery, "hawk's nest" and "wren's nest," poured out its unseemly denizens, white and black, old and young, male and female, the child of three years old, keen, alert and self-protective, running to see the "row" side by side with the toothless crone of seventy; or most likely passing her on the way.
"It is unseemly to dispose one's heart towards such luxuries; though the saints stand in need of food no less than the young ravens only it should be in moderation." The preacher gulped down a ladleful of the pottage, and gasped for another, unmindful of his own precept, while the gravy lingered on his lips.
Haughty, domineering, avaricious, there was nothing in his character to win the kindly regards of any one. His death gave occasion to almost universal rejoicing. Indeed, it was with some difficulty that the king repressed the unseemly exhibition of this joy on the part of the court. The cardinal, as we have mentioned, had been for many years virtually monarch of France.
