Russia may be counted as the bigger half of all he had to strive with; the bigger, or at least the far uglier, more ruinous and incendiary; and if this were at once taken away, think what a daybreak when the night was at the blackest! Pious people say, The darkest hour is often nearest the dawn. And a dawn this proved to be for Friedrich.
Ye look old enough to be your own mother. It takes all the colour out of your face. You look quite yellow!" Bridgie tore the hat from her head, and seized upon a modest brown toque which lay close at hand. "Is that better, then? Is that dowdy enough to suit you?" "It's hidjus!" cried Pixie with emphasis. "It's uglier than the other. I wouldn't have it given to me as a present.
To destroy it was to destroy everything, to destroy probably Kate herself, to destroy in particular by a breach of faith still uglier than anything else the beauty of their own last passage.

The Count said to them: "Let go according to the will of Jesus Christ, who shall take heed to our bodies and our lives; for of an eviller or uglier death we may not die than to die in this sea." So they let run along Aumarie, and galleys and craft of the Saracens came against them.
Glory protested that it was an angel of a dog, whereupon he supposed it was now dreaming of paradise listen! and then there were audible snores in the silence, and everybody laughed, and Glory screamed. "I declare, on my honour, my dear," said Drake with a mischievous look at John, "the creature is uglier than the beast that did the business on the day we eloped."
I think it is hideous," replied Elisabeth, taking one of her elf-locks between her fingers and examining it as if it were a sample of material; "it is like that ugly brown seaweed which shows which way the wind blows no, I mean that shows whether it is going to rain or not." "Never mind; I've seen lots of people with uglier hair than yours."
I have regretted ever since that I did so, for nothing could have been uglier than the private rooms, with the exception of the Emperor's study and the staircases. This inspection of the Palace bored me terribly. A few of the pictures consoled me, and I stayed some time gazing at Winterhalter's portrait representing the Empress Eugenie.
