"I've got half-a-dozen at least; and the last sweep I went very low, quite in the mud, and I've got some most horrid things. There's one of them like a flat-iron, with pincers at the point." "That's a water-scorpion. Oh, Francis! he eats dreadfully." "I don't believe he can, he's so flat. Molly, is that nasty-looking thing a dragon-fly larva?" "I believe it is; for there is the mask.
A stolid orderly, wearing white gloves, brought beer and some extraordinary nasty-looking sardine sandwiches which, on sampling, I realized to be made of "war bread." While the beer was being poured out I glanced round the room, bare and very simply furnished. Terrible chromo-lithographs of the Kaiser and the Crown Prince hung on the walls above a glass filled with war trophies.
Every effort was made to recover all the specimens, but enough escaped to produce progeny that soon became a scourge to the trees of Massachusetts. The method of the big, nasty-looking mottled-brown caterpillar was very simple. It devoured the entire foliage of every tree that grew in its sphere of influence. The gypsy moth spread with alarming rapidity and persistence.
"Oh, but it will," said Mercer; "all birds that I know of, except ducks and chickens and geese, are horridly ugly till they are fledged. Young thrushes and rooks are nasty-looking, big-eyed, naked things at first. There: you go on down."
If he had been her husband she would not have dared to propose to him what she did propose. He was amiable enough as a slave, because he had no hold over her, but if she married him according to the gypsy law, he would then be her master, and should she indulge her fancy for a Gentile, he would assuredly use a very nasty-looking knife, which he wore under the green coat.
Since the rains began, numbers of huge millipedes, as thick as one's finger and eight or ten inches long, crawled about everywhere in the paths, on trees, about the house and one morning when I got up I even found one in my bed! They were generally of a dull lead colour or of a deep brick red, and were very nasty-looking things to be coming everywhere in one's way, although quite harmless.
Having studied the book closely, including the "poetry" with which it is studded, he manufactured, at vast expense, a few cakes of a nasty-looking and evil-smelling substance, which, he said, was soap, and ought to be put on the market. Mrs. Burton intimated that he might put it on the market or anywhere else as long as he did not make any more.
The pain in my face became excruciating, and I began to think yachting rather serious business. "Run for the doctor, Jimmie," said his wife. Jimmie obediently ran. "Does it hurt very much, dear?" she said, sitting on the edge of the bed. "Awfully," I murmured. The doctor came, followed by François, with a basin of hot water and sponges, and a nasty-looking little case of instruments. Mrs.
There is one great merit in tropical fruit, which is, that however hot the sun may be, when plucked from the tree it is always icy cold; if left for a few minutes, however, it becomes as hot as the surrounding atmosphere, and the charm is gone. On my return, when I went to dress for dinner, I found on my table a nasty-looking black beast about six inches long.
The third supper extra was just beginning, and two dances after that he had four in succession with Molly the fateful hour when he had determined to try his luck. At present she was having supper with a nasty-looking man, with long hair and an eyeglass, who was reputed to be a rising politician, in the running for an under-secretaryship, and was also reputed to be in love with Molly.
