There was deep silence, and a stately but ill-dressed nobleman, whose moustaches pointed to the skies and whose dark eyes shot forth flashing glances, was seen advancing toward the witness-box. He approached Colomban and casting upon him a look of ineffable disdain: "My evidence," said he, "here it is: you excrement!"
"I am just getting a soldier's stuff into me," responded Pisgah, antithetically. "Why do you go abroad, hungry, ill-dressed, and houseless, when you can wear the livery of France?" Pisgah thought the soldier a very presuming person. My troubles are temporary merely. A day or two may make me rich."
Darcy! exclaimed Robert to his Wife after a moment's perplexity, and they walked quickly to meet her. Rose and Langham exchanged a few commonplaces till the others joined them, and then for a while the attention of everybody in the group was held by the Squire's sister. She was very small, as thin and light as thistledown, ill-dressed, and as communicative as a babbling child.
I was particularly ill-dressed, and I noticed that they stared at me; but I had no intention, then, of throwing myself in her way. Well," she continued, musingly, "I am not to be foiled with one rebuff.
Imagine him embracing me at our first interview, and carrying me in his arms as one of my valets would have done. He was dirty, coarse, and ill-dressed. Well, all the Frenchmen ran after him; one would have supposed by their eagerness that they had never seen a regal countenance." "Yet there was no occasion to run very far to see the handsome face of a king."
Forbes was a missionary of "style." It hurt his sense of the fitness of things to see women without it. He used to say that an ill-dressed woman would spoil the finest landscape. For such a man, with an artistic feeling so sensitive, the White Sulphur Springs is a natural goal.
England has thousands of other women who are lapped in an enervating and degrading luxury without occupation, with none but frivolous cares who fancy themselves infinitely superior to their poor, slaving, ill-dressed, and toilworn sisters. These disparities are as great as any that existed in the "infamous" days of pagan Rome.
Here their attention was diverted by a wild-looking person, who passed with long strides under the archway in the fosse, right beneath them, and disappeared among the bushes. He was ill-dressed, his hair flying in the wind, his movements hurried and nervous, and the expression of his broad countenance wild, strange, and earnest. "Who can that be!" asked Flemming.
"Won't you come home to tea?" "No, thanks," said Miss Toombs, as she made off, to leave Mavis gazing at the ill-dressed, squat figure hurrying along the road. As might be expected, Miss Hunter's and Miss Toombs' disparagement of Charlie Perigal but served to incline Mavis in his favour. She thought of him all the way home, and wondered how soon she would see him again.
He hated them all the woman who was his dupe and his slave, but who balked him of his revenge; the boy who brought him the cents for which he froze during the winter evenings at the corner of Portage and Main, but who with the cents gave him fierce and fearless looks; and this girl suddenly transformed from a timid, stupid, ill-dressed Galician child, into a being of grace and loveliness and conscious power.
