"Did you let her know you hated her?" Again I was silent. "Not even to her have you been faithful! But hush! we were followed from the fountain, I fear!" "No living creature did I see! except a disreputable-looking cat that bolted into the shrubbery." "It was a magnificent Persian so wet and draggled, though, as to look what she was worse than disreputable!" "What do you mean, Mr. Raven?"
But even then, half unconscious as he was, he wouldn't let loose of the reins. Not until the now thoroughly aroused colt had dragged him for rods, did the leather break, leaving the boy and the bridle in a most disreputable-looking heap upon the earth. Florence had watched the scene with breathless interest. While Ben was making his mount, she observed him doubtfully.
To it Ridge hurried, and, addressing himself to the man who appeared to be in charge, said: "I have an important communication for the Captain of your ship. Will you take me off to her?" With a contemptuous glance at the disreputable-looking young trooper, the man answered: "See about it when I get ready to go."
This same aunt had three boys of her own, later on, and a more disreputable-looking crew it would be hard to find. I confess that I took a deal of grim satisfaction in their dilapidated ensemble, just for my aunt's benefit, of course. They were fine, wholesome, natural boys in spite of their parentage, and I liked them even while I gloried in their cuts, bruises, and dirt.
She was English-built, bark-rigged, bluff in the bow, square in the stern, unpainted and leaky on the whole as unkempt and disreputable-looking a craft as ever flew the black flag; and with the clank of the pumps marking time to the wailing squeak of the tiller-ropes, she wallowed through the waves like a log in an eddying tideway.
Then two very disreputable-looking persons tossed their respective principals' high hats into the ring, and the crowd, recognizing in this relic of the days when brave knights threw down their gauntlets in the lists as only a sign that the fight was about to begin, cheered tumultuously.
No one but Dan saw the letter; but it did bring him, and one November day Mr Laurie helped a feeble man out of a carriage at the door of Plumfield, and Mother Bhaer received the wanderer like a recovered son; while Ted, in a disreputable-looking hat and an astonishing pair of boots, performed a sort of war-dance round the interesting group.
This amazing apparition advanced into the middle of the room, holding hugged under one arm a ragged and disreputable-looking doll; stared hard, first at Oscar, then at me; advanced to my knees; laid the disreputable doll on my lap; and, pointing to a vacant chair at my side, claimed the rights of hospitality in these words: "Jicks will sit down."
A scarred veteran sometimes becomes quite an honoured hero from the number of its victims. Some of the tops are of the roughest description, made by the village carpenter. More finished ones can be bought in the native bazaar for a farthing. But often a hopelessly disreputable-looking top, with an old nail for its spike, has a better record for deeds done than a more showy one bought in a shop.
The wind apparently was blowing violently, judging from the way it tossed Edestone's hair about as, hatless, he walked back and forth in the near foreground, shading his eyes from the sun with his hand while he looked into the lens and called his directions to the man who was working the camera. "That disreputable-looking individual is myself," he confessed.
