In the last ten years the Colored Orphans' Home has cared for, fed, clothed, and pampered exactly eleven hundred and twenty-two colored children, of every condition of shape and Misshape, brains and no brains.
"The Window at the White Cat"
Mary Roberts Rinehart

"A Master's Degree"
Margaret Hill McCarter
The one pillar of its chapter house had given way, and the downrushing ruin had so crushed and distorted it, that thenceforth until some resurrection should arrive, disorder and Misshape must appear to it the law of the universe, and loveliness but the passing dream of a brain glad to deceive its own misery, and so to fancy it had received from above what it had itself generated of its own poverty from below.
"Malcolm"
George MacDonald
