Three times out of four it's the same thing with women: the Spanish women writers who might be able to lend you a hand are usually old and ugly. Sometimes it just isn't worth it.

Con las mujeres ocurre tres cuartas partes de lo mismo: las escritoras españolas que pueden echarte un cable suelen ser mayores y feas y el sacrificio a veces no vale la pena.

It is worth pointing out, furthermore, that his lordship had by that time severed all links with the 'blackshirts', having witnessed the true, ugly nature of that organization ..

Y quizá convenga añadir que, por otra parte, mi señor había roto todos sus vínculos con los camisas negras tras haber comprobado el auténtico y peligroso carácter de esta organización.
