Forth from the sands, as from the bowels of the reluctant earth, there crept, one by one, loathly and reptile shapes; obscene sounds rang in her ears now in a hideous mockery, now in a yet more sickening solicitation. Shapes of terror thickened and crowded round her.
She would soon know you for a better husband than one of those young feather-pates, who have no care but of themselves." "Nay, mistress," said Tibble, gravely, "your advice will not serve here. To bring that fair young wench hither, to this very court, mind you, with a mate loathly to behold as I be, and with the lad there ever before her, would be verily to give place to the devil."
He commanded Boodles to go back, but though he had slowed his pace and now halted a dozen feet from Frank, the cannibal, Boodles showed that he was not going back until he had some better reason. Violence of the cruellest sort seemed forward. But perhaps Frank might be won from his loathly practice. "You, Frank, be quiet, sir!" ordered Wilbur, though Frank had not been unquiet.
Gods and demi-gods of gigantic proportions and majestic aspect were carved on the external walls of the windowless abodes and fanes; and, from the yawning portal of one of these, a temple vast as Dendera's self, came forth, fold after fold, even as I seemed to gaze, the monstrous sea-serpent of which mariners dream, more huge, more loathly, than fancy or experience ever yet portrayed him.

Before any one could say "Jack Robinson," it is down, and I am in it.
The British aviator, who had the advantage in speed and was a good revolver shot, evidently greatly distressed the fugitive, for, surrendered, he planed down in good order, and on landing was found to be dead. According to an officer in the Royal Flying Corps the worst aerial experience in war is to go up as a passenger. "It is 'loathly," he says, "to sit still helplessly and be fired at."
