Just as Jack mounted the steps, the door opened, and a plainly dressed, unattractive-looking man was let out. The servant who did the letting out saw Jack and let him in without closing the door between the egress of the one and the ingress of the other. So he entered without ringing, and, as he was very well known and intensely popular with all of Mrs.
Chivalrous eh? and innately so, evidently, for the girl was slightly deformed: hardly a hunchback, but weak and unattractive-looking, with melancholy eyes, and a pale, pinched face. It was the thought of that little act of simple chivalry, witnessed the day before, which caused Juliette to provoke the scene which, but for Deroulede's timely interference, might have ended so fatally.
The houses on either side were dingy, singularly unattractive-looking buildings, and the further the cab crawled away from Victoria Street the deeper the shade of poverty and dirt that descended on the surroundings. Digby Street and Shamrock House were the culminating stroke to Joan's depression.
Christ tells us to consider the lilies how they grow, and declares that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. The lily grows from a very unattractive-looking bulb. If we had never seen a lily in bloom, never gazed on its matchless grace of foliage and flower, how could we know the reality contained in that bulb?
The church is an unattractive-looking little building, but of more interest than its appearance suggests. The vault is groined. In the S. porch is a mutilated stoup. Within, note in chancel, image brackets and defaced piscina; rood loft stair and window. The nave roof is original. Bratton Seymour, a village conspicuously perched on a hill 3 m. W. from Wincanton.

"Shure it would be a hard matter to grow sugar or coffee on that sort of ground!" exclaimed Tim, pointing towards the unattractive-looking coast. "Stay till we pass through the `Dragons' Mouths' and enter the Gulf of Paria," observed the captain. "You will have reason to alter your opinion then, my lad."
"Well, this is what's breaking my young heart," said Patty, as she watched Pansy Potts, who was just entering the room with a dish containing a most unattractive-looking failure. "I may as well own up," she said bravely, as the dessert was placed in front of her. "My ambition was greater than my ability." "Don't say another word," said Aunt Alice.
"A man must often want to know how he spent his money in a given year." "I'm sure I never want to," said Mr. Manley. "And certainly pass-books are unattractive-looking objects to have about." "All the same, they might have proved very useful in this case," said Mr. Flexen. "Of course, they wouldn't tell us anything we shall not find out eventually.
It would require more hands to gather a flock of sheep from the hills into their folds, and drive them to market, than the profits of the whole flock would be capable of maintaining. Here we have an example of a dull, unattractive-looking dog becoming of the very utmost canine usefulness.
