Immediately behind the house was the chapel, in which daily worship was conducted. The first thing I saw on getting to Mr. Smith's house was the chapel crowded with very poor-looking people, of whom a number were blind and lame.
Then she examined it. A very old, poor-looking key it was blackened, worn away, and polished by long use, its ring bearing the mark of where it had been broken and resoldered. However, they all searched their pockets, and none of them, it seemed, had lost a key. "I found it in the corner," now resumed Sophie; "it must have belonged to the man." "What man?" asked Sister Hyacinthe.
This dismal revenue station consists of a few exceptionally poor-looking Malay houses on the river bank, a few equally unprosperous-looking Chinese dwellings, a police station of dilapidated thatch among the trees, close to it a cage in which there is a half-human looking criminal lying on a mat, a new house or big room, raised for Mr.
"They are not large enough, nor pretty enough," repeated Daisy. "They'll look pretty when they get the strawberries in them," said the storekeeper with a knowing look at her. "But here's a kind, ma'am, are a little neater may be you would like these What do you want, child?" There had come into the store just after Daisy a little poor-looking child, who had stood near, watching what was going on.

We saw no absolutely mean nor poor-looking abodes along the road.
But even in daylight you might pass by that stable ready, unless you knew it was there. For it was very little, and being roofed with heather it looked only like a bit of the bog that had humped itself up a bit higher than the rest. Poor-looking and small as it was, Big Michael was very proud of that stable. He and Art had built it together, just before Art leaving home.
Then he said he'd show me where I could go and stay all night, and so he took me into a little by-street, to a poor-looking house, where the people took lodgers, and there he left me to go aboard the ship. As he went away he advised me to take care of my money and try to get a servant's place.
Yet there was a flash of malice in his eyes as he answered "I came by late tender at Southampton," he said. "It cost me a special from London and the agents told me I couldn't do it, but here I am, you see!" "And a poor-looking object you are," Trent said contemptuously. "If you've life enough in you to talk, be so good as to tell me what the devil you mean by following me like this!"
