You come here, stirring up the men a union agitator, or whatever you are and you know that the first idea of these people, when they do break loose, is to put dynamite in the shafts and set fire to the buildings!" "Do they do that?" There was surprise in Hal's tone. "Haven't you read what they did in the last big strike? That dough-faced old preacher, John Edstrom, could tell you.
'My observation was, explained Mr Shute, coldly, 'that, judging from appearances, that dough-faced lemon was Willie-boy, the first and only love. Maud turned on him with flaming cheeks. 'Mr Welsh is nothing to me! Nothing! Nothing! she cried. She walked quickly on.
Harry let his eyes follow the tall figure in an insolent stare. “What a dough-faced cad that man is!” he said lazily, “no wonder his little pink-cheeked wife seeks other society. Handsome baby, though, isn’t she?” Hannah pricked up her ears. Her loss of David was too recent not to cause her extreme jealousy of his pretty young wife. Already she fairly hated her.
I freighted it to Chicago, where I shipped, again as porter, on a package freighter. The captain of the package freighter Overland should have been anything but a captain. He was a tall, flabby, dough-faced man, as timid as a child just out of the nursery. We had taken on, as one of our firemen, a Canuck, who, from the first, boasted that he was a "bad man".... He intimidated the cook right off.
The woman brought a lamp, and they saw him lying on his back, his head done up in bandages, and one arm bound in splints. He looked really desperately bad, his kindly old eyes deep-sunken and haggard, and his face Hal remembered what Jeff Cotton had called him, "that dough-faced old preacher!" They got the story of what had happened at the time of Hal's flight to Percy's train.
He does some things wrong; so they all do; but he has the people's interests next his heart; and you mark me you, sir, who are a Liberal, and the enemy of all their governments, you please to mark my words the day will come in Grünewald, when they take out that yellow-headed skulk of a Prince and that dough-faced Messalina of a Princess, march 'em back foremost over the borders, and proclaim the Baron Gondremark first President.
Past the gleaming lakes and eternal banks of snow the train crawled to the top of the world at Crestline, puffed and clattered through the snowsheds, then clambered down the mountain side to Tabernacle. With his dough-faced men about him, Houston sought transportation, at last to obtain it, then started the journey to the mill. Into the cañon and to the last rise.

"And who else?" "John Edstrom has gone down to bury his wife. It's not the first time that dough-faced old preacher has made trouble for us, but it'll be the last. You'll find him in Pedro probably in the poor-house." "No," responded Hal, quickly and there came just a touch of elation in his voice "he won't have to go to the poor-house at once. You see, I've just sent twenty-five dollars to him."
Everybody knows Grebel and Larkin, and that they're the big wheezes in that Philly crowd. But what then? Had Grebel gone out to lunch? And was Larkin playin' penuchle? Thrillin', if true. Then comes this "Teg morf rednu" stuff. Was that Russian, or Chinese? "Heiney," says I, callin' the dough-faced food juggler. "Heiney," I repeats solemn, "Teg morf rednu." Not a smile from Heiney.
