I pitied Cobb and Sarah, they were so frightened, and got hold of them myself and comforted them. Sarah was just such another little timid, open-mouthed, wide-eyed sort of thing as her brother, and they were merely picking flowers, as they supposed. "I never saw such beautiful yellow flowers," Sarah said, sobbing and looking ruefully at her great bouquet of squash blossoms.
The four slaves stared in open-mouthed astonishment at this display of muscular development and conversed among themselves as they gathered up Seaton's discarded clothing. Their leader picked up a salt-shaker, a couple of silver knives and forks, and some other articles, and turned to Seaton, apparently asking permission to do something with them.
Her flight had been so unexpected and so swift that young Fiske did not attempt to follow her; but she reached her room, flung the door shut, and locked it with as much precipitancy as though he were on her heels, instead of standing quite still, open-mouthed, where she had left him.

She shook the kitchen door of her friend, and smiled with calm reassurance when it was cautiously set ajar to disclose a wide-eyed and open-mouthed face of terror. "Who is it?" "It's me. What have you got your door locked for?" "I think that Eva Loud is raving crazy. I'm afraid of her." "Lord! you 'ain't no reason to be 'fraid of her. She ain't crazy.
But Norman was already banking the machine, and the flying car responded while the wonder-struck boys gazed open-mouthed. "It's the camp," Norman yelled just then as a little group of shadowy buildings seemed to rise up out of the snow. "They've struck gas!" blurted Roy, as he sprang to his feet.

In the agony which these tidings excited she proposed to Donald Bean the rescue of the prisoner.
And she seemed to see in this boy, innocent, healthy and sun-browned, something of what she herself had been.
