Then, again, they buy their goods in small portions; for instance, their coal by the ha'p'orth or their wood by the farthing's-worth, which, in fact, works out at a great profit to the dealers. Or they buy a farthing's-worth of tea, which is boiled up again and again till it is awful-looking stuff. I asked her what she considered to be the main underlying cause of this misery.
The robbers seemed to be such bunglers that one would judge them to be new to the business; but the innkeeper's terror knew no bounds, and he declared they were awful-looking cut-throats. Two of the men were caught the next day. I saw them brought into the village heavily manacled; they were harmless-looking Wallacks, not very different in appearance from my guide over the mountain.
With a faint cry of horror as I saw the awful-looking object leaping at me, the firelock dropping from his left hand, and the blood glistening on his great arms, I dropped sidewise just as a knife flashed by my cheek and over my left shoulder.
It seemed a year. Where did you get those awful-looking clothes, and " "What aw oh, the coat? Great Jehoshaphat! You don't mean to say that " "I thought you were a detective!" she sobbed. "Oh, how wretched I've been. Pay the man, dear, and take me take me any place where there is light. I'm dying from the sight and sound of this awful night." Mr.
"Well, cheer up, Vic," cried her brother. "Bert'll probably set fire to the car, the way he did to their first one, and then you won't have to go." "Oh, yes, I would; Margaret would send him after me in that awful-looking, unwashed Ford runabout of his," answered the girl. "And then you WOULD go," said Barney. "You bet I would," laughed Victoria. "I'd go in a wheelbarrow with Bert."
She admitted he was agreeable; but then he was such an unnatural, awful-looking object: there was, besides, something indescribably frightful, she thought, in his manner the very tone of his voice was strange and hateful; and, on the whole, she felt unutterably relieved at his departure. A few days after, on my return, I found my poor little wife agitated and dispirited. Mr.
And the young Count ready to walk presently, without thought of coming danger, into the very clutches of that lunatic. That of course was unthinkable. There had been murder in Leo's pale eyes when he fingered that awful-looking knife. The girl felt that such a risk could not be run: even the good opinion of the entire village became as nothing in her mind.
She was an ample and, to my mind, rather awful-looking person, clad in black satin she was a widow and very large diamonds. Her hair was white, her nose was hooked, her dark eyes were penetrating, and she had a bad cold in her head. That was all I found time to notice about her, for suddenly her daughter came into my line of vision.
It was a wretched daub, but the subject was none the less horrible for that, and the caricatured likeness to my great-grandfather did not make it seem less real or more pleasant. That execution which was never over, this ghastly head which never found rest in the grave, that awful-looking man who was, and yet was not, Grandpapa haunted me.
"Now 'wink as much as you please, as the man said that took an awful-looking daguerreotype of me once. Good-by. Here's where I get out. And there they all are to meet me."
