Try and think of your other duties, and your pretty face will not be always puckered into wrinkles, and there will be cheerfulness in the parlor as well as in the nursery. Think of your big baby a little. Dance him about a bit; call him pretty names; laugh at him now and then. It is only the first baby that takes up the whole of a woman's time.
Hector smiled at the girl in encouraging fashion, but there was no answering smile upon Peggy's face. She stood up stiff and straight, her brows puckered in lines of distress. Hector's evasive answers had not deceived her, for she knew too well that the accident had happened after, not before, he had reached Yew Hedge.
The boy's face was the picture of innocence; the mouth was slightly puckered as if with concentrated effort; his eyes were open and frank; he was smiling a little triumphantly like a child that is sure of pleasing and waiting for praise. "You play atrociously," said Petrokoff severely. "I shall keep you six months on finger exercises alone. You play false!"

Good-bye for now.
A trooper spurred down on him, brought him up all standing with an intercepted lance, examined him through puckered eyes, and then, roaring with laughter, picked him up and carried him to Cunningham. "A woman, sahib! By the beard of Abraham, a woman!" "Joanna!" "Ha, sahib! Ha, sahib!" She babbled to him, word overtaking word and choking all together in a dust-dry throat.
With a strong effort he flung off these fancies and faced his sneering foe, who now his red-wealed face puckered into a malicious grin stood waiting. Stern all at once saw the patriarch once more.
