The three windows above the shop looked dirty, and closely over them were stretched dirty lace curtains. The windows on the higher floor were dirtier still, and in place of the lace curtains were crooked-hanging blinds. Poor Mrs. Day set her lips tightly as she looked. Then she crossed the street and entered the shop. Mr.
But a physicist who looks on that part of the life of nature as a dance of electrons, will tell you that daily it has lost some molecules and gained others, and even the plain man can see that it gets dirtier and is occasionally washed. Thus the question of change in the Needle is a mere matter of definition. The more abstract your definition, the more permanent the Needle.
She rushed out of the cloak-room and across the passage to the front door, and, standing on the pavement which the downtrodden straw had made still dirtier, she shouted for her carriage. She was weeping. Large flakes of watery snow were being driven along before the wind, and clung to her cheeks and mingled with the hot drops from her eyes.
"Is it a handkerchief, Robert?" "Don't you remember it?" he repeated with triumph, as though in some way he had beaten her. For a moment she was silent. And when she looked at him her eyes were no longer smiling. "You kept it like that ?" "I wouldn't even wash it. I hid it. It's got dirtier and dirtier." "It must be horribly germy, Robert. We'll wash it together.
The dirty skillets by the fire were kept in countenance by the dirtier pots, and the ashes were drifted and strewn over the hearth-stones in a most picturesque way.

Our politics are no dirtier or more corrupt than those of our neighbors. The famous Quam parvâ sapientiâ regitur mundus was not said in scorn by the minister of a republic, but in sober sadness by one whose dealings had been lifelong with the courts and statesmen of princes.
There was a lumber yard on the site. Everything seemed to have shrunk. The street was narrower and dirtier than she recalled it. She made one stop, at the house of Maggie Simms, a high-school chum. It was a frame house, too, and she remembered that the front door opened directly into the parlor and the side entrance was popularly used instead. But a strange sister-in-law opened the side door.

She looked like hundreds of the sort I have seen down in the open markets, some of them looking a little more so and some less." "How more so?" asked Warren. "Why, perhaps fatter, or thinner, or dirtier, but all lawless and no account.
How strangely changed the ship appeared! Sunny, motionless, and quiet; no noisy children, no slatternly, slipshod women rolling about the decks, no slush, no washing of dirty linen in dirtier water. There was the old mate in a clean shirt at last, leaning against the mainmast, and smoking his yard of clay; the butcher close shaven and clean; the sailors smart, and welcoming us with a smile.
