Another five miles, and the germ of a fresh plot began to swell in his brain perhaps the ugliest, grimmest plot yet conceived and developed in that defiled temple.
She once told me she hoped that when I grew up I might become a professor in one of those college towns she loved, where I might work all my life in peace. Although she never said anything to me against the harbor, I knew that my mother put all the ugliest things in life down there. And the things that were fine were all up here.
And it may be there will be a syringa bush in the background, not that the Parsonage Aid Society is partial to this flower, but because it is not easily killed by neglect. They choose the hardiest, ugliest known shrubs for the parsonage yard because they last best.
But to understand how "comfort," and the virtues it implies, can exist amid such conditions, one must penetrate to the hearthside; the door must be shut, the curtain drawn; here "home" does not extend beyond the threshold. After all, this grimy row of houses, ugliest that man ever conceived, is more representative of England to-day than the lovely village among the trees and meadows.
They stood utterly unharmed; save some half-dozen who had had their tops snapped off by a gale there are no hurricanes in Trinidad and remained as enormous unmeaning pikes, or posts, fifty to eighty feet high, transformed, by that one blast, from one of the loveliest to one of the ugliest natural objects.

And the louder they all laughed, the more stupid and helpless did the two-and-twenty gormandizers look. Beautiful as her face was, and though there was a smile on it, it looked just as wicked and mischievous as the ugliest serpent that ever was seen; and fat-witted as the voyagers had made themselves, they began to suspect that they had fallen into the power of an evil-minded enchantress.
The normal colour is a dirty, brassy yellow-brown, here and there transparent, but ever unsightly in the extreme. It must depend upon some unexplained atmospheric conditions; and the water-aspect is often at its ugliest when the skies are clearest. I have often seen the same tints when approaching Liverpool.
Who's hurtin' you?" answered Bub, the biggest of the four, and one of the ugliest when intoxicated. "Mrs. Sullivan's in the next room. You wouldn't shoot her, would you?" asked Sim sneeringly in a loud tone, for he could stand up under great quantities of liquor. "Sh! Keep still a minute, you fool!" in a harsh whisper from Bub. I was now thankful that I was dressed. I waited no longer.
