"Did you not send for her?" she asked in alarm. Tarling shook his head. "What was the man like who called?" he asked: "A very ordinary-looking man, rather under-sized and ill-looking it was the taxi-driver." "You have no idea which way they went?" "No," replied the matron.
To her they seemed harmless enough, just two ordinary-looking strangers, and if it had not been for Dick's behaviour, she would have passed them by without a thought. But evidently they were not harmless in Dick's eyes, for his growls and snarls grew louder and more forbidding the nearer he approached.
"Well," Sir John seemed to hesitate "you might call it a scene. Yes, that's it a scene. There's a piece of water and a church beside it just an ordinary-looking little parish church, with a tower but no pinnacles.
There was nothing brigandish or romantic about the appearance of the very ordinary-looking young man who put in an appearance at Starden village. Quite what his plans were, what he proposed doing and how he should do it, Hugh had not the slightest idea. He mistrusted Slotman.
As she drew nearer, she proved to be an ordinary-looking hermaphrodite brig, standing south-south-east; and probably bound out, from the Northern States, to the West Indies; and was just the thing we wished to see. She hove-to for us, seeing that we wished to speak her; and we ran down to her; boom-ended our studding-sails; backed our main topsail, and hailed her "Brig, ahoy!" "Hallo!"
Major Norton was a very ordinary-looking man, more elderly in appearance than his years warranted. He was bald and clean-shaved but for scraps of side-whiskers that gave him a resemblance to the traditional stage-lawyer of amateur theatricals, a likeness increased by his heavy and prosy manner.
"I see you are making purchases for your journey. My man and I are very sorry you are going." "Thank you, Madame. We also are sorry," Marco answered, taking the parcel. "They are not large purchases, you see." But neither he nor The Rat had bought anything at all, though the ordinary-looking little package was plainly addressed to him and bore the name of one of the big cheap shops.
You wake up one morning to hear that all the influential Armenians have been gathered up and shipped to the interior; you go down to the ordinary-looking hotel breakfast-room and the three Germans taking coffee in the corner stop talking at once; at lunch some one stoops to whisper to the man across the table, there is a moment's silence until the waiter has gone, and the man across the table mutters: "The G. V. says not to worry" "G. V." meaning Grand Vizier.
Of her own child she felt she could not speak to this unconsciously bereaved mother. "And six years old? Ah! Now I must show you what my dear boy was like at six." She got up, and fetched from the mantelpiece a photograph of a tiny boy in a sailor's dress; a plain-featured, ordinary-looking little boy, with dark eyes too solemn for his age. "Now, is your boy as big, do you think?
It was the fashion with the quality to go late; and so eleven o'clock had struck before we had pulled up between Vauxhall stairs, crowded with watermen and rough mudlarks, and the very ordinary-looking house which forms the entrance of the great garden. Leaving the servants outside, single-file we trailed through the dark passage guarded by the wicketgate.
