He could make a wolf-dog step into the form of a handsome hunter; he could clothe an old cur with the skin of a very wise powwow.
The man was a dull, brutal cur, and, when drunk, especially savage. His daughter was rarely beautiful; at all events, the count, a good judge, thought her peerless. "He meant fairly by the girl from the first, and promised her marriage, actually intending to keep his word.
'We are so fond of our ugly husbands; they set us off to such advantage. Oh, I don't report what they say; I speak the language in which they think. Mr. Roylake, does it strike you that the Cur is a sad cynic? My charming young friends, you both look shocked; you both shake your heads. Perhaps I am in one of my tolerant humors to-day; I see nothing disgraceful in being a Cur.
In the meanwhile allow me again to assure you that I consider you both a cur and a blackguard, and to wish you good-morning." And he bowed himself out, leaving Edward Cossey in a curious condition of concentrated rage.
"Stay, young man; I will let you through the gate." He was seated on a stone under a chestnut-tree, with an ugly cur at his feet, who snarled at me as I turned. "Thank you, my man," said I, joyfully. "I confess frankly that I was very much afraid of that leap." "Ho! Yet you said, what can be done once can be done twice." "I did not say it could be done, but ought to be done." "Humph!

Marija said not a word to Jurgis; he crept in like a whipped cur, and went and sat down by the body. Perhaps he ought to have meditated upon the hunger of the children, and upon his own baseness; but he thought only of Ona, he gave himself up again to the luxury of grief.
This thing of letting a cur like that run roughshod over a man on account of a girl that didn't care was plumb idiotic. And beside him the cattle walked and walked and walked, a dim, moving mass in the quiet July night. Harry Conroy at Home.
The girls, giggling, but rather worried by the attention that was being attracted to their escort, darted into a store and left Purt to settle the matter by himself.

"But I might point out the snarling cur, Siptah, for one, and a few other comely lords of Egypt." "What hast thou done in thy life?" she cried.
