He was not so quick with his tongue as with his limbs. He knew his brother well enough to foresee the effect of failure. Luke FitzHenry was destined to be one of those unfortunate men who fail ungracefully. "Do not decide in too great a hurry," said Fitz at length, rather lamely. "Don't be a fool!" "No, it has been decided for me by my beastly bad luck." "It WAS bad luck deuced bad luck."
Macaulay was not chosen a Fellow until his last trial, nominally for the amazing reason that his translations from Greek and Latin, while faithfully representing the originals, were rendered into English that was ungracefully bald and inornate.
She was fond of wearing a shawl, which hung ungracefully about her, and made her figure look squarer and her shoulders higher than they really were. Her face struck sharply upon my brain, as if I had never seen it distinctly before; not a bad face, but unmistakably plain, and just now with a frown upon it, and her heavy eyebrows knitted forbiddingly.
He used them a good deal when talking, and not ungracefully; but they seemed to claw and grasp the air, to be independent of the arms hidden in the voluminous sleeves of the smart brown cassock.

The gray hair is simply arranged and partly veiled with black lace, which sets off her delicate, faded face to perfection, but without flattery or fraud. We find the same view taken of age by the masters of the Renaissance, who appreciated its charm and loved to reproduce its grace. Queen Elizabeth stands out in history as a woman who struggled ungracefully against growing old.
The youth made his salutations, not ungracefully, yet with an air of reserve which the king noticed. "I thought St. Brice had got him long ago, and feared thou wert on a wild-goose chase." "It is a long tale to tell now, my liege." "Have they Christianised him?" said the king, with a sly look. "He will soon lose that," replied Anlaf.
