A man his face close-pressed against them peered through the interwoven iron rods from within. Jaimihr, in a rose-pink pugree still, but not at all the swaggering cavalier who pranced, high-booted, through the streets a down-at-heel prince, looking slovenly and heavy-eyed from too much opium sat in a long chair under the cloister which faced the barred stone door.
"I lied to y'u!" "Ellen, listen darlin'." And the tender epithet brought her head and arms back close-pressed to him. "I know now," he faltered on. "I found out to-day what I believed. An' I swear to God by the memory of my dead mother down in my heart I never, never, never believed what they what y'u tried to make me believe.
Fingering the hot rifle with close-pressed hands, Gale watched the sky line along the high point of lava. It remained unbroken. As his passion left him he feared to look back at his companions, and the cold chill returned to his breast. "Shore I'm damn glad them Greasers ain't usin' soft-nose bullets," drawled a calm voice. Swift as lightning Gale whirled. "Laddy!
As her eyes met mine, they opened wide and bright. The rosy colour flushed into her face, her lips smiled. She gave a little forward movement, then before I had completed calling out her name, like a flash she changed, her brows were knit, her lips close-pressed, and all her face, save for the shameful red sign on her cheeks, was very white.

Pink, with a quite obtrusive facetiousness, began lustily chanting that it looked to him like a big night to-night with occasional, furtive glances at Weary's face; for he, also, had been quick to read those close-pressed lips, which did not soften in response to the ditty. Usually he laughed at Pink's drollery. They rode rather quietly upon the hill again, to where fed the sheep.
With a white line showing around her close-pressed lips and a horror in her wide-eyed glance, she rode quietly along the side of the bluff toward where she had seen the horseman disappear. He was riding a dark bay, and he wore a gray hat and dark coat, and he was slim and tall. Billy Louise made a sound that was close to a groan and set her teeth hard together afterwards.
Afflicted with an eternal stage-fright, she never opened her close-pressed lips in society, though a few people knew that she could talk as fast and as effectively as any one. Difficult to set in motion, her vocal machinery was equally difficult to stop. She generally wore a low bonnet and a mantle.
Its site is given up to several ugly streets, and a pair of tall towers, separated by a space which speaks volumes as to the size of the church, and looking across the close-pressed roofs to the happier spires of the cathedral, preserved for the modern world the memory of a great fortune, a great abuse, perhaps, and at all events a great pen- alty.
