"Hello, Aggie!" the detective remarked, with a smirk, while the Inspector stared from one to the other with rounded eyes of wonder, and his jaw dropped from the stark surprise of this new development. The girl returned deliberately to the chair she had occupied through the interview with the Inspector, and dropped into it weakly.
The mode of settling differences which had occurred to the good man was one which has been considered a specific in reconciling contending sovereigns and states from early antiquity, and the deacon hoped it might have a pacifying influence even in so unpromising a case as that of Miss Silence and Uncle Jaw.
"It IS one of my own," said Phyllis, "so you needn't jaw, Peter. Yes, we've put our initial names on the ones we've done, so that the swallows will know who they've got to be so grateful to and fond of." "Swallows can't read, silly," said Peter. "Silly yourself," retorted Phyllis; "how do you know?" "Who thought of making the nests, anyhow?" shouted Peter. "I did," screamed Phyllis.
Angus had laid his monocle on the table, and was looking round the room with wide, light-blue eyes, looking hard, like some bird-creature, and seeming to see nothing. He had evidently been very ill: was still very ill. His cheeks and even his jaw seemed shrunken, almost withered. He forgot his dinner: or he did not care for it. Probably the latter.
His square hard jaw from beginning to end looked like stone. "So he's your lover?" he said harshly when she had done. "He wants to be your friend," returned Nan, determined not to give up.

I know his game.
A good few folk watched Jonathan to see what he'd do about it, and no doubt a maiden here and there was interested too; because, though a terrible poor man, he wasn't bad to look at, though rather hard about the edge of the jaw, and rather short and stern in his manners to human creatures and beasts alike.
Some of the side had played little serious cricket before. Brown, in fact, asked if he might field middle and leg. But at last they were placed more or less to their own satisfaction, and FitzMorris gave them a short "jaw" on keenness. Cricket was about the one thing he really cared for; as a chemistry specialist he spent most of his day adoze in the laboratory.
Deceased sat wearily down by me, and wiped his os frontis with his major maxillary chiefly from former habit I judged, for I could not see that he brought away any perspiration. "It is too bad, too bad," said he, drawing the remnant of the shroud about him and leaning his jaw pensively on his hand.
She tried to bring before her, that night in the train speeding west, his solid figure and kind eyes as they would greet her the next day tried, and failed. All she got was the profile of the photograph, and the stubborn angle of the jaw. She was up very early the next morning, and it was then, as the train rolled through familiar country, that she began to find Harvey again.
The count's face was white and he could not control the feverish twitching of his lower jaw. "This way, your excellency... Where are you going?... This way, please..." said a trembling, frightened voice behind him. Count Rostopchin was unable to reply and, turning obediently, went in the direction indicated.
