The head-wife was a greasy old jade, who was in the habit of attending church without her gown, and when her husband sent her home to make her toilet, she would pout out her thick lips in unutterable disgust at his new-fangled notions, while some of the other wives were the best scholars in the school.
"At all events, it is true, is it not, that you like to hear stories of the fierce passions, kindled in our heart by the enchanting women of the South?" "Yes. And then?" "Why, I will come to your house about nine o'clock to-morrow evening, and elucidate this mystery for you." "No," she replied, with a pout; "I wish it done now."
"Katy is a nice girl enough," pronounced her mother, "but not of the sort to attract a gay young man, I should fancy. I don't believe she is thinking of any such thing. You needn't be afraid, Lilly." "I'm not afraid," said Lilly, with a pout; "only it's so provoking." Mrs. Katy was not thinking of any such thing.

"There need be no haste in your decision," he said, graciously. "Needn't there? Then you will give me a long time to think it over?" "Not too long, I hope," he answered, significantly. "But, truly," Alice's pout was exceedingly becoming, "I don't want to be married at all. Why should I when I am so happy?" "Isn't that an unusual position for a young girl to take?"
Then with sudden disgust: "Yer all for yerself, s'long as ye're right..." So charged with egoism James Wait pulled the blanket up to his chin and lay still for a while. His heavy lips protruded in an everlasting black pout. "Why are you so hot on making trouble?" he asked without much interest. "'Cos it's a bloomin' shayme.
It would have been beyond the power of the boy to continue to pout in such circumstances, and as he mounted, Kharrak Singh shrilly promised his pet troop of the guard new coats of yellow satin.
Babbie's kind- heartedness, her gaiety, her coquetry, her moments of sadness, had been a witch's fingers, and Gavin was still trembling under their touch. Even in being taken to task by her there was a charm, for every pout of her mouth, every shake of her head, said, "You like me, and therefore you have given me the right to tease you."
