The doctor was a very kind old man, and he did his best, so we will not say anything about his antique instruments, or the number of times he tied a pocket-handkerchief round an awful-looking claw, and put both into Madam Liberality's mouth without effect.
Then, the ladies—were there ever such innocent and awful-looking beings; as they walk up and down the platform in twos and threes, with their arms round each other’s waists, or leaning for support on one of those majestic men! ‘Just a-going to begin!
M. le Général was by no means an awful-looking person; and, indeed, we had so expended our surprise already, that we had no more at command. He was an excessively stout, merry person, middle-aged, of a beautiful complexion, and a capacity to wink that would have vulgarized any one else but a general.
He pressed it so hard as to leave a delicious ache, and hastened away. "Good Lor! who was that awful-looking man?" Mrs. Bodine asked Ella. "George Houghton. He carried you from home here." "Lor! Lor! Saved my life as well as yours and Cousin Hugh's?" "Yes, and now he's going to help papa and Mara." "Well, well, we'll have to forgive him for being born North. Is that old "
"An awful-looking tramp came to the door this morning. I shouldn't wonder if it was the same one. I guess she will be all right now. She looked quieted down, but she had an awful shock, poor child." "I wonder when I ought to take her home," said Anderson. "Not for two hours," said his mother, decidedly. "She is going to stay here till she gets rested and is a little over it."
His table companion was a half-grown boy with chapped hands and a thin white face; but his eyes were clear and happy, and the piece of pie he was eating was being swallowed in huge hunks. It was his sole order, a piece of awful-looking pie. As the coffee and oysters were brought him Van Landing saw the boy look at them hungrily and then turn his eyes away. "I beg your pardon."
They look to me something like jelly-fish about the size of whales, only they have eyes and mouths. Did you ever see such awful-looking eyes, bigger than soup-plates and as bright as a cat's. I suppose that's because of the dim light. And the nasty wormy sort of way they swim, or fly, or whatever it is. Lenox, I don't know what the rest of Saturn may be like, but I certainly don't like this part.
It was a very splendid sight, I assure you, and an awful-looking audience. I am going to preside at a similar meeting at Liverpool on the 26th of next month, and on my way home I may be obliged to preside at another at Birmingham. I will send you papers, if the reports be at all like the real thing. I wrote to Prescott about his book, with which I was perfectly charmed.
"Em," shouted Dick, as he emerged from the doorway, "see what I've got!" He popped the awful-looking structure over his head. It went right down to his shoulders. Emmeline gave a shriek. "It smells funny," said Dick, taking it off and applying his nose to the inside of it "smells like an old hair brush. Here, you try it on."
The portraits of those we do see are mostly representations of awful-looking brutes, as bad in shoulders, and light of bone, as they could be; they appear also to have had very soft coats, somewhat akin to that we see on a Pomeranian nowadays, though it is true this latter fault may have been that of the artist, or probably amplified by him.
