A few hundred feet up The Mountain's side was a dark deep dell, unwooded, save for a few spindling, crazy-looking hackmatacks or native larches, with pallid green tufts sticking out fantastically all over them.
"I don't treat Art as if it were grocery." Soames pointed to the Future Town. "Look at that! Who's going to live in a town like that, or with it on his walls?" June contemplated the picture for a moment. "It's a vision," she said. "The deuce!" There was silence, then June rose. 'Crazy-looking creature! he thought.
There was a cage full of lions that started the most awful roaring you can think of, and a cage of crazy-looking things they called monkeys that screeched and howled and swung back and forth in rings and held on to the bars, and all the other things joined in, until I couldn't tell whether I was still saying anything or not.
He did not know what the crazy-looking maze of the Chinese inscription on the red silk meant. Had he asked Jim-Eng, that patient Chinaman would have informed him with proper pride that its meaning was: "House of heavenly delight." In the evening of the same day Babalatchi called on Captain Ford.
Steele, a learned and aged man from England, built a crazy-looking house in a lonely spot on Mount Tom, and was soon as much a mystery as the noises, for it was known that he had come to this country to stop them by magic and to seize the great carbuncle in the cave if he could find it.

"That is a crazy-looking epistle," she muttered, as she laid it, direction downwards, in her lap. "Why not wait, then, till you arrive at your destination, where you can seal it properly, and direct it at your leisure?" "Because I am in haste. I wish to mail it now. Look, there is a box on the corner; please ask the driver to stop once more." "Shall I not post it for you?"
Then it listens for a few minutes, and again hurries down to the crazy-looking steps. The black shadow standing there, like the genius of solitude, is a woman, and she has apparently come to add herself to the list of the cruel-looking river's victims. Standing there, with one hand on the rough rail, and staring with fascinated eyes on the dull muddy water, she does not hear a step behind her.
