Her sunken decks and patched-up jury rig with the trysail set from the after-stay gave her an uncanny look, while her masts and spars with the set canvas seemed as black as ink against the light sky beyond. There she lay, a horrid, ghastly thing, wallowing along slowly toward a port she would never reach. While I looked at her, Miss Sackett burst into a hard laugh which jangled hysterically.
Yet otherwise his knowledge was wide; a patched-up window-pane, or a scurfy child's head, marked an entrance to that underworld which he had known so well from birth, so that he could have found his way about it with bandaged eyes.
What was the relation between the great banquet of Pereire & Co., this train full of statesmen, literati, and other distinguished men, this blast of the press heralding a great and joyful event in the commercial life of the French nation, and this old patched-up ship, with its scant load of commonplace and evidently old Franco-Mexican tradesmen, lying in lonely dullness against the gray sky on that gloomy evening?
So far there has been introduced into this story the bad man, Francesco, with crab-like tendencies, who has just lost his wife; the ravishingly beautiful Loretta; the girl's mother, of whom all sorts of stories were told none to her credit; big tender-hearted Luigi Zanaletto, prince of gondoliers, and last, and this time least, a staid old painter who works in a gondola up a crooked canal which is smothered in trees, choked by patched-up boats and flanked by tattered rookeries so shaky that the slightest earth quiver would tumble them into kindling wood.

About half way up this, almost hidden by saplings and vines, Dave made out a grim looking patched-up building. It was an old hut to which various additions had been made. One of Dave's companions uttered a peculiar whistle.
"Their mother must be a dreadful shiftless creature to let her young ones run the streets in such patched-up clothes." So up and down the street the neighbors gossiped oh! it was very humiliating to Xanthippe. Meanwhile Helen lived in peace with Aristagoras the tinker. Their little home was cosey and comfortable.
Pointing the gun was entirely up to Murphy and, needless to state, the task was in capable hands, as was frequently demonstrated during target practice as they loafed down the coast. Upon arrival at Panama the Costa Rica's bunkers were replenished and an extra supply of sacked coal was piled on deck, for with her patched-up boilers the old steamer was a hog on fuel.
In spite of a patched-up reconciliation with the king, Becket proceeded to excommunicate or suspend some of the great English prelates and, as Henry believed, was conspiring to rob his son of the crown. In a fit of anger, Henry exclaimed among his followers, "Is there no one to avenge me of this miserable clerk?"
But perhaps they don't take much interest in such a patched-up affair." "Oh yes, they do!" exclaimed Miss Cotton. "They idolise Alice." "And Mrs. Pasmer and Mister, too?" "I don't suppose that so much matters." "They know how to acquiesce, I've no doubt." "Oh yes! You've heard?
