But she had been never more childlike than she was tonight as she flew over the floor in the capable arms of the queer-looking duck; for this person was her partner. The queer-looking duck had been a real dancer in his day, it appeared; and evidently his day was not yet over.
And behind him again was Cissie. But the stranger! He came out of the frame of the porch towards the garden gate.... Who who was this stranger? It was a man in queer-looking foreign clothes, baggy trousers of some soft-looking blue stuff and a blouse, and he had a white-bandaged left arm. He had a hat stuck at the back of his head, and a beard.... He was entirely a stranger, a foreigner.

It was of a rusty gray color and looked as much like a thick wad of dirty brown paper as any thing I can think of.

In a corner, by the door, stood a pile of grips, stacked up, packed, and undisturbed. Winters who had been studying the room while we got our bearings picked up a queer-looking revolver from the floor.
Employed all the morning in endeavouring to procure supplies of tea, and after unearthing a queer-looking package containing seven pounds and a half, we differed about the price, the proprietor demanding twenty-four shillings, or about twice its local value.

At the same moment the great doors of the temple were thrown open, and the priests, to the number of about one hundred and fifty, clad in white robes and turbans edged with turquoise blue, filed out through the portals of the building, walking with slow and measured steps, and playing a kind of dirge upon their queer-looking musical instruments, of which the most numerous consisted of long curved trumpets formed of a kind of terra-cotta.
