The harle- quin on the bank turned his little pug nose up to me.
Heart of Darkness by Conrad, Joseph View in context
They had large hands, large feet, large mouths; they had pug noses as a general thing, and moustaches that not even good breeding could overlook; they combed their hair straight back without parting; they were ill-shaped, they were not winning, they were not graceful; I knew by their looks that they ate garlic and onions; and lastly and finally, to my thinking it would be base flattery to call them immoral.
The Innocents Abroad by Twain, Mark View in context
