He wondered dreamily where it came from; then a shadow cast by the moon on a passing cloud blotted out the river-bed. He rubbed his eyes, and when the cloud had gone there were two animals donkeys, unmistakably one larger than the other, both with their heads turned upwards towards him.
It was not easy under the circumstances to tell the colour of her skin, but she had fine large Juno eyes, and her mouth was unmistakably good-humoured, as she smiled when returning my salutation.
The Acts of the Apostles is hardly a very trustworthy history; it is certainly of later date than the Pauline Epistles, supposing them to be genuine.

Crammed down on to her beautiful white hair was a mannish-looking soft felt hat that had seen its best days long ago, and the coat and skirt she was wearing, though unmistakably of good cut, were old and shabby.
Monsieur Auguste palliated most of his conceited offensiveness on the ground that he was un garcon; we on the ground that he was obviously and unmistakably The Zulu's friend. Underneath which beautiful picture I was instructed to perpetrate the flourishing inscription "Vive la Pologne" which I did to the best of my limited ability and for Monsieur Auguste's sake.

Not until three weeks had passed did he go; and then Elspie was clearly and unmistakably glad to see him. This was all Donald wanted. "I'll win her, the bonny thing!" he said to himself.
