The jasmine, though passing away, was still in sufficient abundance, in some places, to perfume the air. The dark marshes were rich in tall magnolia trees, beautiful red buds, and other red blossoms I did not know. The jasmine and the trees hanging with gray moss perfectly weird-looking have been the least luxuriant places in the interim.
He is just an ordinary Anglo-Saxon, and I don't believe in him. I walk about for years with dictionaries in my pocket. Weird-looking ladies and gentlemen gesticulate and rave at me for months. I hide myself in lonely places, repeating idioms to myself out loud, in the hope that by this means they will come readily to me if ever I want them, which I never do.
At each of its angles there is a strange arrangement of dogs; they bristle out on all sides, and are not over good looking are thin, hungry, weird-looking animals, appear to have had a hard time of it somewhere, and to be doing their best to escape from the stone whence they are protruding.
The buzz of voices told that a school was in session near by, and at the request of the teacher, a good-looking young man, I paid it a visit. Some twenty boys were hard at work on the classics and mathematics, undisturbed by the weird-looking gods around them.

They were a weird-looking crowd as they sat around the flickering fire, experiencing as he told it no small measure of the scare he had just been through. When he had finished Yan said, "Now, Guy, don't you want to go and try it?" "Oh, quit," said Guy; "I never saw such a feller as you for yammering away on the same subjek."
A raw, cold morning in the late autumn! A weird-looking train, slowly drawing into the station out of the mist, with carriages altogether different in appearance from those we were accustomed to see! A battalion of brawny Scotchmen, travel-stained and sleepy. And then a somewhat lazy descent to the platform. 'Twenty-four hours in this train, sir, and never a bite or a sup.
It is another of these silly superstitions of the Hindus that make one really ashamed of being an Indian. The festival is meant to commemorate the old lady's victory over a buffalo-headed demon. Hence the weird-looking beast under her left leg." "And do these people really believe in that sort of rot?" asked Mrs. Rice.
