"I am much obliged to you," said Chris, gravely. "Was Dr. Bell a favourite once?" "Oh, immense. He had great influence over Lord Littimer. He but here comes Littimer in one of his moods. He appears to be angry about something." Littimer strode up, with a frown on his face and a telegram in his hand. Henson assumed to be mildly sympathetic. "I hope it is nothing serious?" he murmured.
As they gazed on each other, old recollections began to awake in either bosom, at the sight of features long unseen and much altered, but not forgotten. The brow of the Sub-Prior dismissed by degrees its frown of command, the look of calm yet stern defiance gradually vanished from that of Warden, and both lost for an instant that of gloomy solemnity.
"You talk about these things," I ventured, "in your Free Speech Halls?" The hitherto pleasant face of the workingman altered to an ugly frown. "No you don't," he growled, "you don't think because I talk to you, that you can go asking me what is not your right to know, even if you are an officer?" I remained discreetly silent, but continued to walk at the side of the striding giant.
"I speak of him because he loves you because he is as fine a young fellow as walks the face of the earth." "But, father, he is so big and strong that he doesn't need any one to love him." At this the Major appeared not to know whether to laugh or to frown. But he did neither; he sat for a time with his hands on his knees, looking wonderingly, almost stupidly at her; and then he said: "Nonsense.
As the girl took the sugar-bowl to fill it, the frown left the face of our hostess, and she turned to me with a bland smile, and asked whether I used sugar and cream in my tea. I replied in the affirmative; but did not smile in return, for I could not. I knew the poor girl's feelings were hurt at being spoken to in such a way before strangers, and this made me extremely uncomfortable.
You'll find there a little polling-place called Wiggins. Turn west, toward Fayette, and on the north side of the main road, opposite the blacksmith's shop, you'll come to a small " "I see."

As Loder drove that night frown Fleet Street to Grosvenor Square he realized this though scarcely with any degree of consciousness for he was no accomplished self-analyst. But in a wave of feeling too vigorous to be denied he recognized his regained foothold the step that lifted him at once from the pit to the pinnacle. In that moment of realization he looked neither backward nor forward.
A frown spread over Hetty's face as she hoisted one of the milk pails and began pouring into the can in the sink. "What's wrong with it, Barney? Sally seem sick or something?" she asked. Barney scratched his head. "I don't rightly know, Miz Thompson. That milk looks all right, or at least, almost all right. It's kinda thin and don't have no foam like you'd expect milk to have.
A strong-armed fellow is that constable; and each time that he flourishes his lash in the air, you see a frown wrinkling and twisting his brow, and, at the same instant, a smile upon his lips. He loves his business, faithful officer that he is, and puts his soul into every stroke, zealous to fulfil the injunction of Major Hawthorne's warrant, in the spirit and to the letter.
Nancy looked fixedly at the small side-table where the stranger had just placed himself as if he were etched upon the whiteness of the wall behind him. He sat erect and brooding, his dark, rather melancholy eyes staring straight ahead, and a slight frown wrinkling his really fine forehead. He wore an Inverness cape slung over one shoulder.
