He gave his master one sharp look of reproof, and closed the door almost. Father and daughter sat looking at each other for a full minute. The old man dragged down the tassel of his skull-cap with his bony fingers, and commenced chewing the end.
She did it quite as a matter of course, and her visitor thought it looked very pleasant; possibly she would have tried it herself if she had not been so absorbed in another interest.

Mrs. McNeil rose on one elbow, and began chewing a grass stem.
After the excitement had nearly subsided, and Toby was reading his pet a lesson on the sin of destructiveness, Reddy arrived with the materials for making his circus poster a sheet of brown paper, a bottle of ink, and a brush made by chewing the end of a pine stick.
