The fact that the body was found floating near the Barrière, is no proof as to where it was thrown into the water..... A piece of one of the unfortunate girl's petticoats, two feet long and one foot wide, was torn out and tied under her chin around the back of her head, probably to prevent screams. This was done by fellows who had no pocket-handkerchief."
Severance's position had been reestablished in her world. It was late that night when Mrs. Willoughby returned home. There was a light in her husband's library, and before going to her room she stopped and tapped at the door. Willoughby, with a pile of papers stacked before him, sat with his chin in his hand, staring absently at the wall.
At his command, the man took the baler and threw salt water into his face. The Athenian's anchor was up-and-down when they came alongside, and Churchill was at the end of his last remnant of strength. "Stop her! Stop her!" he shouted hoarsely. "Important message! Stop her!" Then he dropped his chin on his chest and slept.
Lorraine and Jack sprang to the road from opposite sides of the vehicle; Georges' drawn face was stretched into an attempt at a smile which was ghastly, for the stiff, black blood that had caked in a dripping ridge from his forehead to his chin cracked and grew moist and scarlet, and his hollow cheeks whitened under the coat of dust.
He had a nut-cracker face chin and nose trying to come together over a sunken mouth and it was framed in iron-grey fluffy hair, that looked like a chin strap of cotton-wool sprinkled with coal-dust.

It took not ten minutes to persuade my lord that Mr. Henry had been right. He said never a word, but turned his horse about, and home again, with his chin upon his bosom. Never a word said Miss Alison; no doubt she thought the more; no doubt her pride was stung, for she was a bone-bred Durie; and no doubt her heart was touched to see her cousin so unjustly used.
"Well, how does it strike you, Spike, -this idea of a summer school?" inquired Cooper Fennimore the next morning as the Foxes came back from their early dip in the lake. "Um, -well," replied Spike slowly, rubbing his chin as he had seen old men do when in deep thought, "how does it strike you?" "Ex-actly right, now that I've thought it all over," responded Cooper.
She believed it wasn't a common dream that it wasn't a dream at all. She believes he really came to her." Doctor Benton rubbed his chin and there was serious anxiety in the movement.
