"A white man here?" exclaimed the superior-looking person; "what can they mean?" "I'm ironed so heavy, Jimmy," continued Samson, "dat I can't set up much. My han's is tied togedder wid cord, my feet's in an iron clevis, and a ball's chained to de clevis." "Give me your hands," exclaimed Jimmy; "I'll settle them cords, by smoke!"
Just then, glancing around, his eye caught the amused smile of a tall and lovely lady who was standing near by, chatting with two or three rather superior-looking young people whom the lad had first noticed when the question of having the baggage brought on board at Leavenworth was under discussion.
I was writing my letter and absently looking out now and then when the hubbub suddenly commenced. I rose and went to the window, and found a crowd gathered round the gypsy hermitage. A superior-looking personage was flourishing a stick and indulging in the strongest language. The headman of the gypsies, cowed and nervous, was apparently trying to offer explanations.
Next came the bricklayers' band all dressed in green caps, a very superior-looking body of men. Then followed a very imposing well-kept line, composed of young men of the better class, well attired and respectable looking. These wore crape hat-bands, and green rosettes with harps in the centre.

Though the Igorot has almost nothing in his culture for purely aesthetic purposes, yet he ascribes no purpose for the kay-yan' he says it looks pretty; but I have seen it carried to war by war parties. The pueblo of Sapao makes superior-looking steel weapons, though many Igorot claim the steel of the Baliwang spear is better than that from Sapao.
A superior-looking chauffeur was seated at the wheel. "Shall we get in? We have a fairly long way to go, and it is important that we arrive punctually." Fandor could do nothing but agree. They seated themselves. The abbé shared a heavy travelling rug. "We will wrap ourselves up well," said he.
