She picks them for their good looks, I believe, and trains them afterwards. She would not have so much as a bad-looking stable boy. 'Hard upon ugliness to be shut out of this paradise, said Ida. 'Oh, but she finds places for the ugly boys and girls, with people whose teeth are not so easily set on edge, she says herself. And now I must be off, to change my frock for dinner.
His thin, dry, dusky fingers trembled a little, but he looked his man steadily in the face, while he tendered him another cigarito. "Who is your hunter?" asked the officer. "I must say he is a devilish bad-looking fellow." "He is one of the best hunters Garcia ever had," replied the Mexican. "He is one of your own people. You ought to like him."
Some of the women were by no means bad-looking, and they danced with a sway of figure and a grace and abandon perfect in their way. It is the same dance, with the same steps and gestures, which is painted on the walls of many an ancient Egyptian tomb, and transmitted from the time of Osortasen and the Pharaoh who knew Joseph.
The woman stood humbly in the wake of the man, and the boy kept close to her. The man was a bad-looking fellow, Patsy said to himself. Half-consciously he noticed the man's hands, wicked-looking hands, covered with hair, the nails stubby and broken. The long arms were like the arms of a monkey. His tattered coat was velveteen.
It is mean of Aunt Susan, and you know, Kitty," continued Florence, her tone softening at the evident sympathy with which Kitty regarded her, "I am always so shabbily dressed; I wouldn't be a bit bad-looking if I had decent clothes.

The tall one, of course; the one you were so sweet on. Not the dwarf with the horse-face." "They're fine, educated girls, both of them," I rejoined. "Both of them! As if it was all the same to you!"
As he was driving in a chaise to another town, he came to a lonely bit of road, late in the afternoon, and was just thinking what a good place it was for robbers when he saw a bad-looking man come out of the woods in front of him and go slowly along as if waiting till he came up. The thought of the money made Grandfather rather anxious, and at first he had a mind to turn round and drive away.
Though, ma fé, I hoped all along, as your mother did. And, my good! what a big fellow it is! And not bad-looking either! I used to think you'd grow up square. You were the squarest boy I ever saw. But foreign parts have drawn you out like a ship's mast."
Under his arm he carried a box containing more underwear. Next they drove to a barber's where Pete's hair was properly cut; then to a hat store and he was fitted to a hat. When they came out, Ben regarded his work whimsically. The boy was not a bad-looking boy. He liked the direct manner of the dwarf's grateful, almost reverent, gaze up into his own merry eyes. There was nothing shifty there.
I think I can play the father against the son, and, vice versa, for it was evident to-night that both, with very little encouragement, would become my willing slaves. I imagine that the senior Palmer might make a very agreeable companion. He is reported to be rich a diamond merchant, and I am fond of diamonds. He is certainly very gallant and not bad-looking.
