But just then Purt felt something at his heels and turned swiftly. One of the homeliest mongrel curs ever seen was sniffing at Purt's green stockings. "Get out, you brute!" gasped the dude, rather frightened. But the dog didn't seem to have any designs upon Purt's thin shanks. Instead, he jumped about, foolishly stiff-legged as a dog will when he thinks he has found a friend, and barked.
All this is in true prophetic fashion, which delighted in symbols, and these of the homeliest sort. The whole transaction expressed the transference of power to Saul, the divine reserving of the monarchy for him, and the public investiture with it, by the prophet himself. The veil was intentional, and intentionally thin.
There is Homer, now lost with the gods, now at home with the homeliest, the very 'poet of circumstance, as Gray has finely called him; and yet with imagination enough to seduce and coax the dullest into forgetting, for a while, that little spot on his desk which his banker's book can cover.
The young fellows think that such a handsome girl as that would cost ten times as much to keep as a plain one. She must be dressed up like an empress, so they seem to think. It ain't so with Euthymy: she'd look like a great lady dressed anyhow, and she has n't got any more notions than the homeliest girl that ever stood before a glass to look at herself."
Close on one side of this individual was a tin pail, and on the other, eying him with the keenest interest, one of the homeliest and yet one of the most companionable-looking dog pups ever born of a Mackenzie hound father and a mother half Airedale and half Spitz.

He remembered the girl because she was the oldest and homeliest in the office. "There's somebody for everybody eh, Tetlow?" "He was a lighthouse keeper," said Tetlow. "There's a story that he advertised for a wife. But that may be a joke." "Why not that Miss Miss Halloway?" mused Norman. "Miss Hallowell," corrected Tetlow. "Hallowell yes. Is she very incompetent? "Not exactly that.
'I was struck with her. 'It shows how beauty will out through the homeliest guise. 'Yes, it will; though not always. And this case doesn't prove it, for the lady's attire was in the latest and most approved taste. 'Oh, you mean the lady who was driving? 'Of course. What, were you thinking of the pretty little cottage-girl outside here? I did meet her, but what's she?
I picked her from among five Miss Augusta Pernell had over to Burnt Island," said the old woman, trudging along with the kitten close at her skirts. "Augusta, she says to me, 'Why, Mis' Blackett, you've took and homeliest; and, says I, 'I've got the smartest; I'm satisfied."
The verse is of the homeliest; indeed it is only a rollicking indifference to its own inanity that saves it from sheer puerility and gives it a careless and as it were impromptu charm of its own.
"A lame duck, like most of the desert exiles, and the homeliest man west of the Missouri River," was Ford's characterization. "He is as stubborn as a mule, but he is honest and outspoken. If you can win him over to your side, you will have at least one lieutenant whom you can trust and who will, I think, be duly grateful for small favors.
