"It's not within the limits of possibility," I said to myself, "for the niece to be uglier than they, but if they allow her to sleep thus in the same room with the first comer, she must be proof against all temptation." However, I gave no sign, and did not ask to see the niece for fear of offense, and I went out without opening my trunk.
The War Cry, so the General states, Among the angels circulates, To Heaven having gone; but, oh, That it had first expired below! Which is uglier the crude spiritualism of the Salvationist or the crude materialism of the scientist? I receive the same sort of shock when I peruse Mrs.
No doubt, the lapse of time since the Doctor and his spider lived has already been sufficient to cause a traditionary wonderment to gather over them both; and, especially, this image of the spider dangles down to us from the dusky ceiling of the Past, swollen into somewhat uglier and huger monstrosity than he actually possessed.
"Gone to fetch Peggy Kirkpatrick," he said. "We arrived at the ball everything hostile to us the duchess uglier than I ever saw her, and the Russians elbowing us at every turn. The first person my eyes rested on was General Bibikoff. I wondered what an officer of his rank was doing at Mitau just now. I surmised, however, that it was not for his health, and that he was not alone.
"I aim to settle down and quit my roamin', John." "And your marrying, too, I hope, you old rascal!" "Yes, this one will be my last, I reckon. I don't mind, though; I've had doin's enough with women in my day." "Is she a good looker, Dad?" "Well, I've seen purtier ones and I've seen uglier ones, John. No, she ain't what you might call stylish, I guess, but she's all right for me.
Part of it is occasionally cast into iron moulds, shaped like old Gothic arches, only uglier; and the casts are applied in great quantity as coping-stones to the walls and fences in the regions of the copper-works. Although not a very tasteful, it is yet a very useful, and, at the same time, a very characteristic application.
I'm uglier than anything here, but I'm much, much more alive." "You surely don't suggest," said Jevons, "that I've made you uglier?" "You've made me stronger and cleverer and bigger ever so much bigger than I was." "Much better in every way," I said, "than your youngest sister here, hasn't he?" "Poor little Norah! I didn't mean that you beast Furny! Of course I didn't. Jimmy what did I mean?"
He was, or pretended to be, deaf. He had a very ugly face, made uglier by dirt, above which he wore a mangy hair cap. He sold rough pottery, cheap crockery and glass, mock jewelry, low song-books, framed pictures, mirrors, and quack medicines. He bought old bottles, bones, and rags. And what else he bought or sold, or dealt with, was dimly guessed at by a few, but fully known to none.
If I had been given my way, only the pretty children and those who did not whoop should have got presents; but the extraordinary lady who plays the part of aunt to me, and chaperon to the Angels, said that the uglier you are, the more gifts you need. Perhaps it is on this principle she has demanded so many from me. But is she ugly? I hardly know.
Then he heard the splash of the black, filthy water. There was a cry. It was several seconds before he realised that it had broken from his lips. He looked around him like a hunted creature. There was another terror now the gloomy court with its ugly, miserable paraphernalia the death, uglier still, death in disgrace, a sordid, ghastly thing!
