But it was tragic that it was ridiculous for any man on Eire to ask a girl from Earth to join him on so unpromising a planet. He said numbly: "I'll be wishing you good morning, Moira." He moved away, his chin sunk on his breast. Moira watched him go. She didn't seem happy. Then, fifty yards from the mansion, a luridly colored something leaped out of a hole.
"Have you been eavesdropping?" cried Iris, springing to her feet, her black eyes flashing luridly. A thousand thoughts flashed through Alice Lee's mind in an instant. No; she was too proud to let them realize that she had overheard the perfidy of Dorothy's treacherous lover. No; better plead ignorance, until she had time to think over the matter, for Dorothy's sake, if not for her own.
His reply was an unnecessarily verbose, and needlessly forcible negative. I heard the stranger chuckle. "I really must trouble you to obey my wishes," he replied, with ironic courtesy. "Otherwise I shall be compelled to do some damage to that car of yours, a proceeding I always try to avoid if possible." "Do what you please," was in effect Winter's luridly adjectived answer.
They howled with childish laughter, and assured the box that after they had opened it and given it cough medicine they would close it again very carefully leaving the diplomatic seal unbroken and deliver it to the spaceport so it could go on its way.

One hears ever of the black sheep, the few luridly glaring failures, but never of the hundreds of great and noble lives which are England's strength." "By Jove!" said Lord Tancred, "you ought to be in the House of Lords, Francis! You'd wake them up!" The financier looked down at his plate; he always lowered his eyes when he felt things.
When Elisha Boone denounced the outbreak of John Brown at Harper's Ferry as more criminal than Aaron Burr's treason, his children made his prepossessions their own; when, three years later, the father proudly eulogized the uprising he had so luridly condemned, his children saw no tergiversation in the swift conversion.
It expressed Frescobaldi's conception of a derrick, and a touch of nature had been added in the flame of brandy, which burned luridly up from a small pit in the centre of the base, and represented the gas in combustion as it issued from the ground. Fulkerson burst into a roar of laughter with the words that recognized Frescobaldi's personal tribute to Dryfoos.
This room in which she sat, like all other rooms of the district, was too primly neat to be cozy or comfortable. It contained a bright new rag carpet, a luridly painted wooden settee, a sewing-machine, and several uninviting wooden chairs.
