"That's no sort of a way for a lady to do! Please get up right away." "Never! Never!" she said. "Never till you promise me that the life of my dear husband shall be spared!" and she grabbed Cherry round the knees and groaned dreadful. He really was the most awkward-looking man, with her holding onto his legs that way, you ever seen! "Oh, Lord, ma'am, do get up!" he said.
A pair of loose trousers, gathered at the waist with a running silken cord, and large at the ankle, forms a prominent feature in the costume, and is made either of calico, shawl-cloth, or Cachmere brocade, according to the finances of the wearer. Instead of stockings they wear a kind of awkward-looking linen bag, yellow or red, soled with thick cloth or felt, the top being edged with shawl-cloth.
Huge, awkward-looking beasts covered with shaggy hair, with thick, short limbs, and powerful, sharp claws bent inwards on soft pads compelling them to move on the edge of their paws are busy with the clay-formed nests of the insects, dashing them asunder, and devouring their active builders taking in whole armies at a mouthful.
Why not leave children wholly to the discipline of nature? why not remain quite passive and let them get knowledge as they best can? why not be consistent throughout?" This is an awkward-looking question. Plausibly implying as it does, that a system of complete laissez-faire is the logical outcome of the doctrines set forth, it seems to furnish a disproof of them by reductio ad absurdum.
They are heavy, awkward-looking birds with wings and forms that suggest none of the grace and beauty of the usual shore birds. They do not seem to be formed to cleave the air, or to part the water, but they do both very successfully. When the pelican dives for his prey, he is for the moment transformed into a thunderbolt.
Let his fate be a warning to all traveling letter-writers who are disposed to criticise too severely "the erection and style" of a very awkward-looking building, and the mode of process therein used in condemning men to the flames.
The two lads sat listening to the talk of their elders, and after a time took up the work that had been lying beside them to wit, some netting; but before Dick had formed many meshes he stopped to replenish the fire, taking some awkward-looking pieces of split root which were as red as mahogany, and placing them upon the top, where they began to blaze with a brilliant light which told tales of how they were the roots of turpentine-filled pines, which had been growing in the ancient forest that existed before the fen; and then taking from a basket half a dozen dark thick squares of dried peat and placing them round the flaming embers to keep up the heat.
"I have lost my way in the darkness," and without waiting he tried the door, and finding it unlocked, opened it. "Dick Rover!" The cry came from one of the occupants of the room, a tall, awkward-looking young man, much tanned by exposure, and with a pair of dark and wicked-looking eyes. "Great Scott!" gasped Dick, falling back a step. "Am I dreaming or is this really Dan Baxter?" "Oh.
Altogether he is a wonderful animal, and it is a matter for sorrow that man persists in hunting him merely to get his wonderful head. "In parts of these same northern forests lives another big member of the Deer family, Wanderhoof the Woodland Caribou. He is bigger than Lightfoot the Deer, but smaller than Bugler the Elk, rather an awkward-looking fellow. His legs are quite long but stout.
He was too late, though, for with a bound I was on him, pinioning his hands, and holding him down on the window-sill, with his head half out, as bearing down upon him, I leaned out as far as I could, yelling out: "Sentry in the next roof, mark man below. Stop him, or fire." The black fellow below drew a long, awkward-looking pistol, and aimed at me, but only for a moment.
