"The one nearest us isn't at all bad-looking. Lively damsels, but that's no matter. There are good women to be found even among such. . . . But they really do go too far."

She stood up as Calton and the detective entered, and they saw that she was a tall, slender woman of about twenty-five, not bad-looking, but with a pallid and haggard appearance from recent illness. She was clothed in a kind of tawdry blue dress, much soiled and torn, and had over her shoulders an old tartan shawl, which she drew tightly across her breast as the strangers entered.
"Dear me," said the Secretary; "have you been stationed nearly three years on this coast, and ask how a man could possibly be in good condition living in those scrubby heaths?" "Bad-looking country; eh?" said the Captain. "Small cattle-stations, sir," said the Secretary, "I can see at a glance. Salt beef, very tough, and very little of it.
"Poor," ever since her marriage Henrietta had been "poor" to Louie, "Poor Etta really isn't bad-looking, and when she gets animated she isn't unattractive. If I could have her here often, I believe I could do something for her." When Evelyn came home a week or so later, she had an announcement to make.
"I dare say she looked very well to your eyes, but I'd rather have an old ship-master's word for it than a young lawyer's.

She was one of those beings who awaken only a chance, passing thought, but no special interest, no desire.

But I did my best to control my trembling mouth, and when he asked me how much I wanted on the miniature I answered, with a gulp in my throat: "Two pounds ten, if you please, sir." "Couldn't do it," said the pawnbroker.
"Well, Worry, they're not a bad-looking lot. Slim and trim. We won't have to take off any beef. Here's Reddy Ray. I let you have him this year, Worry, but the track team will miss him.
