"My dear, you'd be very unhappy," she said. Then she leant back again and received in complete stillness May's meditative gaze. "In a good many ways perhaps I should," said May at last with a sigh, and her brow puckered with wrinkles. "Yes, I suppose so," she sighed again. "But I know what it is. You've let yourself get interested in Sandro; you've let him lay hold of you." May nodded.
Her smooth brow puckered in an intense frown, and, to Bud, it almost seemed that she was literally clenching her teeth to hold back the passionate distress which was seeking to find expression. After a moment something of full self-possession seemed to return to her. She smiled. But it was a smile that lacked conviction. A smile that almost broke her father's heart. "Tell me, Daddy," she pleaded.
"Kitten's face wouldn't be pretty either, if she puckered it that way." Jane knew the battle was won, now that Bobbie joked and smiled, so she jumped up quickly and urged them along. "Come on everyone, there's a light in the office," she said. "We will just have a few minutes to talk to Deanie."

The little chap with the curly hair who had smiled at me on coming in, I observed, did not smile now. His whilom merry countenance, on the contrary, was all puckered up in the most comical way; while his brows were knit as he chewed the feather end of his quill pen trying to get inspiration from that source how to properly write some long word I think it was "Mesopotamia!"
